Reduced order modeling of parametrized pulsatile blood flows: Hematocrit percentage and heart rate

Ricardo Reyes Sotomayor

This paper numerically evaluates the accuracy and performance of a stabilized finite element Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) approach that is designed to simulate pulsatile blood flows. The method is able to estimate fluid flow parametric solutions of intere ...

In vitro-transfusional model for red-blood-cell study: the advantage of lowering hematocrit

Gerardo Turcatti, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Background - Thequalityof red blood cells (RBCs) stored in red cell concentrates (RCCs) is influenced by processing, storage and donor characteristics, and can have a clinical impact on transfused patients. To evaluate RBC properties and their potential im ...

Using Machine Learning to Predict Mortality for COVID-19 Patients on Day 0 in the ICU

Nahal Mansouri, Sahand Jamal Rahi

Rationale: Given the expanding number of COVID-19 cases and the potential for new waves of infection, there is an urgent need for early prediction of the severity of the disease in intensive care unit (ICU) patients to optimize treatment strategies.Objecti ...

In vitro investigations of red blood cell phase separation in a complex microchannel network

Francesco Clavica

Microvascular networks feature a complex topology with multiple bifurcating vessels. Nonuniform partitioning (phase separation) of red blood cells (RBCs) occurs at diverging bifurcations, leading to a heterogeneous RBC distribution that ultimately affects ...

Collective behavior of red blood cells in confined channels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We study the flow properties of red blood cells in confined channels, when the channel width is comparable to the cell size. We focus on the case of intermediate concentrations when hydrodynamic interactions between cells play a dominant role. This regime ...

Quantification of stored red blood cell fluctuations by time-lapse holographic cell imaging

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

We propose methods to quantitatively calculate the fluctuation rate of red blood cells with nanometric axial and millisecond temporal sensitivity at the single-cell level by using time-lapse holographic cell imaging. For this quantitative analysis, cell me ...

Image-Derived Input Function from the Vena Cava for 18F-FDG PET Studies in Rats and Mice

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Measurement of arterial input function is a restrictive aspect for quantitative 18F-FDG PET studies in rodents because of their small total blood volume and the related difficulties in withdrawing blood. METHODS: In the present study, we took advantage of ...

Flow simulation and hemolysis modeling for a blood centrifuge device

Mark Sawley, Michel Deville, Patric Hagmann

A common blood separation technique is to accelerate the sedimentation of blood constituents by centrifugation and then collect these constituents separately. When subjected to conditions of excessive stress, hemolysis can however occur, whereby the membra ...

Measurement of absolute cell volume, osmotic membrane water permeability, and refractive index of transmembrane water and solute flux by digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss

A dual-wavelength digital holographic microscope to measure absolute volume of living cells is proposed. The optical setup allows us to reconstruct two quantitative phase contrast images at two different wavelengths from a single hologram acquisition. When ...

Assessment of the effect of haematocrit-dependent arterial input functions on the accuracy of pharmacokinetic parameters in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI

Nathalie Just

The detection and prognosis of prostate cancer in its early stages are critically important. It is therefore essential to improve the existing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) techniques commonly used for the assessment of the tumour vascular enviro ...

Comparative study of human erythrocytes by digital holographic microscopy, confocal microscopy, and impedance volume analyzer

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Benjamin Rappaz

Red blood cell (RBC) parameters such as morphology, volume, refractive index, and hemoglobin content are of great importance for diagnostic purposes. Existing approaches require complicated calibration procedures and robust cell perturbation. As a result, ...

Characterisation of tumour vasculature in mouse brain by USPIO contrast-enhanced MRI

Giulio Gambarota

To enhance the success rate of antiangiogenic therapies in the clinic, it is crucial to identify parameters for tumour angiogenesis that can predict response to these therapies. In brain tumours, one such parameter is vascular leakage, which is a response ...

Digital holographic microscopy applied to life sciences

Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Jonas Kühn, Tristan Colomb, Benjamin Rappaz, Florian Charrière

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is applied to life sciences applications and demonstrate its capability of real-time imaging and quantitative measurements of physiological parameters such as cell volume or mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) of ...
