This condition is characterized by a reduction in luminal cross-sectional area, which consequently impairs blood supply. In this study, patient-specific models of a stenosis carotid artery and its digitally-created healthy counterpart were reconstructed from CT scans. Employing the finite element method and a two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) coupling approach, non-Newtonian simulations of pulsatile and laminar blood flow were performed. The arterial wall was modeled as a linear, elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous material. The presence of plaque led to an approximately two-fold increase in peak velocity within the stenotic region, rising from approximately 0.3 m/s in the healthy model to 0.7 m/s, directly attributable to the reduced luminal area. The maximum shear stress of the wall at the location of the plaque reached 40 Pa. Furthermore, the maximum wall displacement increased from 1.5 mm in the healthy artery to 1.7 mm in the stenosis artery. While pressure results indicated minor localized increases and decreases before and after the plaque site, respectively, these changes did not significantly affect the total arterial pressure. Examination of blood flow streamlines revealed flow recirculation regions in the carotid sinus bulb of both arteries. In the stenosis artery, an additional and more pronounced flow recirculation region formed distal to the plaque, owing to the post-stenotic expansion. This phenomenon led to a substantial increase of approximately 240% in the oscillatory shear index (OSI) within the internal carotid artery branch. The relative residence time (RRT) remained relatively constant in the common carotid artery and the bifurcation region. However, RRT decreased by approximately 40% in the carotid branches, predominantly in the external carotid artery. Comparison of hemodynamic parameters and biological indices between healthy and stenosed arteries suggests that atherosclerotic plaques significantly alter local hemodynamics, potentially creating novel regions susceptible to atherosclerosis that are absent in healthy artery. In the healthy artery, about 8.3% of the vessel area was at risk for disease (TAWSS < 0.4 Pa), but this increased to 20% in the stenosed artery due to plaque accumulation, a 2.4-fold expansion. Regarding RRT, an increase was observed; areas with RRT > 10 expanded by approximately 1.6 times in the stenosed artery (from 3.1% in healthy to 5% in diseased).</p>","PeriodicalId":50640,"journal":{"name":"Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144644071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The integration of electroencephalography (EEG) and advanced analysis methods have become tailor-made for understanding and optimizing cognitive processes to mitigate such errors and accidents. This article delves into the realm of cognitive assessment and its implications for the optimization of human performance to forge a tool for predicting cognitive capacities. The methodology relies on the collection of EEG data, with a specific focus on the activity in the prefrontal cortex, which serves as an index for attention and working memory status. Ten healthy adults participated in these experiments, undergoing EEG measurements, and standardized cognitive tests in controlled environments over 15 d. The data analysis involved preprocessing EEG signals, feature extraction, and modeling using machine learning techniques including k-nearest neighbor (KNN), decision trees, support vector machines, and artificial neural network (ANN) models. The findings unequivocally single out the decision tree model as the leading performer among the machine learning techniques scrutinized. It impressively attained a sensitivity of 94.25%, underscoring its precision in identifying individuals with robust attentional performance. The model's precision soaring at 84.97% and accuracy at 83.47% reinforce its ability to differentiate true positive cases with a minimal margin of false positives. However, the ANN model stands out as the best performer among memory models with an impressive accuracy of 83.90%.
