In Vitro Comparison of a Closed and Semi-closed Leaflet Design for Adult and Pediatric Transcatheter Heart Valves
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 13. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03502-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTranscatheter heart valve replacements (TVR) are mostly designed in a closed position (c) with leaflets coaptating. However, recent literature suggests fabricating valves in semi-closed (sc) position to minimize pinwheeling. With about 100,000 children in need of a new pulmonary valve each year worldwide, this study evaluates both geometrical approaches in adult as well as pediatric size and condition. Three valves of each geometry were fabricated in adult (30 mm) and pediatric (15 mm) size, using porcine pericardium. To evaluate pe...

Influence of implant base material on secondary bone healing: an < em > in silico < /em > study
Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin. 2024 Apr 13:1-9. doi: 10.1080/10255842.2024.2338121. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe implant material at the fracture site influences fracture healing not only from biological perspective but also from mechanical perspective. Biodegradable implants such as magnesium (Mg) based alloys have shown faster secondary bone healing properties as compared to bioinert implants such as titanium (Ti). The general reasoning behind this is the benefit of Mg from biocompatibility perspectives. We studied the effect of Ti and Mg as base materials for implants from mechanical perspectives, where we fo...

Intelligent salivary biosensors for periodontitis: in vitro simulation of oral oxidative stress conditions
This study focused on hydrogen peroxide, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and lactic acid as salivary non-protein biomarkers for oxidative stress conditions of periodontitis. Electrochemical analysis of artificial saliva was done using Gamry with increasing hydrogen peroxide, bLPS, and lactic acid concentrations. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were conducted. From EIS data, change in capacitance and CV plot area were calculated for each test condition. Hydrogen peroxide groups had a decrease in CV area and an increase in percentage change in capacitance, lipopolysaccharide groups had a de...

Method for evaluating the fit of custom-fit Continuous Positive Airway Pressure masks using finite element analysis
Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin. 2024 Apr 12:1-18. doi: 10.1080/10255842.2024.2341120. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTContinuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a common therapy used to treat breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. In previous work, we designed a custom-fit CPAP mask to address comfort and leakage issues patients often experience. This paper presents a method to create a finite element (FE) model to evaluate the fit of the custom-fit mask before fabrication. The model includes details such as a skull to represent the variable soft tissue thicknesses on the face, and two strap configurati...

Evaluation of free and immobilized cellulase on chitosan-modified magnetic nanoparticles for saccharification of sorghum residue
Bioprocess Biosyst Eng. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s00449-024-03010-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnzymatic hydrolysis plays a pivotal role in transforming lignocellulosic biomass. Addressing alternate techniques to optimize the utilization of cellulolytic enzymes is one strategy to improve its efficiency and lower process costs. Cellulases are highly specific and environmentally benign biocatalysts that break down intricate polysaccharides into simple forms of sugars. In contrast to the most difficult and time-consuming enzyme immobilization processes, in this research, we studied simple, mild, and successful techniques...
