Shear-induced platelet activation is one of the critical outcomes when blood is exposed to
elevated shear stress. Excessively activated platelets in the circulation can lead to thrombus …

Given the extensive and routine use of cardiovascular devices, a major limiting factor to their
success is the thrombotic rate that occurs. This poses direct risk to the patient and requires …

Purpose Device-induced blood damage contributes the hemolysis, thrombosis and bleeding
complications in patients supported with ventricular assist device (VAD). This study aims to …

Modeling thrombus growth in pathological flows allows evaluation of risk under patient-
specific pharmacological, hematological, and hemodynamical conditions. We have …

Purpose To develop a mathematical model for predicting shear-induced von Willebrand
factor (vWF) function modification which can be used to guide ventricular assist devices …

Purpose The objective of this study is to develop a bleeding risk model for assessing device-
induced bleeding risk in patients supported with blood contact medical devices (BCMDs) …

This paper presents the first systematic study on the characterization of dynamic adsorption
regimes of gas in porous media using the ratio of inter-to intraparticle diffusion coefficients …

Biomicrofluidics, a subdomain of microfluidics, has been inspired by several ideas from
nature. However, while the basic inspiration for the same may be drawn from the living …

Abstract Background and Objective Owing to the complexity of physics linked with blood flow
and its associated phenomena, appropriate modeling of the multi-constituent rheology of …

Blood-circulating devices such as oxygenators have offered life-saving opportunities for
advanced cardiovascular and pulmonary failures. However, such systems are limited in the …
