    • 3D patient-specific numerical modeling of the soft palate considering adhesion from the tongue 

      Liu, Hongliang; Prot, Victorien Emile; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Collapse of the soft palate in the upper airway contributes to obstructive sleeping apnea (OSA). In this study, we investigate the influence of the adhesion from the tongue on the soft palate global response. This is ...

    • Biomechanical characterization of a chronic type a dissected human aorta 

      Amabili, Marco; Arena, Goffredo O.; Balasubramanian, Prabakaran; Breslavsky, Ivan D.; Cartier, Raymond; Ferrari, Giovanni; Holzapfel, Gerhard; Kassab, Ali; Mongrain, Rosaire (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Aortic dissection is one of the most lethal cardiovascular diseases. A chronic Type A (Stanford) dissected aorta was retrieved for research from a 73-year-old male donor without diagnosed genetic disease. The aorta presented ...

    • Effect of side branch flow upon physiological indices in coronary artery disease 

      Gosling, Rebecca C.; Sturdy, Jacob; Morris, Paul D.; Fossan, Fredrik Eikeland; Hellevik, Leif Rune; Lawford, Patricia V.; Hose, David Rodney; Gunn, Julian P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Recent efforts have demonstrated the ability of computational models to predict fractional flow reserve from coronary artery imaging without the need for invasive instrumentation. However, these models include only larger ...

    • Finite element analysis of mitral valve annuloplasty in Barlow's disease 

      Aguilera, Hans Martin; Urheim, Stig; Persson, Robert; Haaverstad, Rune; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge; Prot, Victorien Emile (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Barlow’s Disease affects the entire mitral valve apparatus causing mitral regurgitation. Standard annuloplasty procedures lead to an average of 55% annular area reduction of the end diastolic pre-operative annular area in ...

    • Palatal implant surgery effectiveness in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea: a numerical method with 3D patient-specific geometries 

      Liu, Hongliang; Moxness, Mads Henrik Strand; Prot, Victorien Emile; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects a large percentage of the population and is increasingly recognized as a major global health problem. One surgical procedure for OSA is to implant polyethylene (PET) material into the ...
