The functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract include digestion, absorption, excretion, and
protection. In this review, we focus on the electrical activity of the stomach and small …

Background Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by
the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the …

Mathematical and computational modeling of the stomach is an emerging field of
biomechanics where several complex phenomena, such as gastric electrophysiology, fluid …

This book on modelling the electrical activity of the heart is an attempt to describe continuum
based modelling of cardiac electrical activity from the cell level to the body surface (the …

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model of human mastication.
Specifically, an anatomically realistic model of the masseter muscles and associated bones …

High-resolution (HR) mapping has been used to study gastric slow-wave activation;
however, the specific characteristics of antral electrophysiology remain poorly defined. This …

Proper coordination of gastric motor functions is required for healthy gastric emptying.
However, pyloric function may be impaired by functional disorders or surgical procedures …

Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the characteristics of peristaltic flow in a
model stomach during the mixing and digestion process. The geometrical model for the …

The amplitude and frequency of peristaltic contractions are two major parameters for
assessing gastric motility. However, it is not fully understood how these parameters affect the …

We investigate flow in the stomach during gastric mixing using a numerical simulation with
an anatomically realistic geometry and free-surface flow modeling. Because of momentum …
