Enhancing Chondrocyte Biosynthetic Activities: Harnessing the Power of Loading-Induced Evolved Temperature

Theofanis Stampoultzis

Chondrocytes within articular cartilage possess the capacity to perceive and react to signals generated by the typical load-bearing actions of daily life, such as walking or running. Articular cartilage is predominantly oriented toward compression-based fu ...

Inter- and intra-individual variability in CO2 production and metabolic rate

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohamad Rida

Carbon dioxide generated by the human body and exhaled (VCO2) is commonly used for ventilation controls, while the metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure EE) is an important parameter defining human thermal comfort in buildings. These two parameters are ...

Bacterial colonization in realistic environments: how mechanics impact biofilm formation in the wild and during infection

Tamara Rossy

A variety of physical inputs acts onto bacteria in nature. However, these are most often ignored in the studies of their physiology. There is now increasing evidence indicating that bacteria respond to physical stimuli, including mechanical forces. Yet, qu ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary initiation of mental imagery

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Hyeongdong Park

Previous research has suggested that bodily signals from internal organs are associated with diverse cortical and subcortical processes involved in sensory-motor functions, beyond homeostatic reflexes. For instance, a recent study demonstrated that the pre ...

Deep learning architectures for estimating breathing signal and respiratory parameters from speech recordings

Mathew Magimai Doss, Zohreh Mostaani

Respiration is an essential and primary mechanism for speech production. We first inhale and then produce speech while exhaling. When we run out of breath, we stop speaking and inhale. Though this process is involuntary, speech production involves a system ...

Towards an Evolutionary Theory of Stress Responses

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

All organisms have a stress response system to cope with environmental threats, yet its precise form varies hugely within and across individuals, populations, and species. While the physiological mechanisms are increasingly understood, how stress responses ...

Organohalide respiration in Firmicutes: energy metabolism and transcription regulation

Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin

Organohalides are a class of compounds often considered as persistent pollutants and harmful to environmental and human health. Some bacteria, among which are representatives from the Firmicutes phylum, are capable of using these compounds as terminal acce ...

Mechanisms of the breathing contribution to bodily self‐consciousness in healthy humans: Lessons from machine‐assisted breathing?

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Oliver Alan Kannape, Elisa Canzoneri, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Javier Bello Ruiz

Previous studies investigated bodily self‐consciousness (BSC) by experimentally exposing subjects to multisensory conflicts (i.e., visuo‐tactile, audio‐tactile, visuo‐cardiac) in virtual reality (VR) that involve the participant's torso in a paradigm known ...

Contactless Respiration Monitoring in Real-Time via a Video Camera

Alia Lemkaddem, Martin Bertschinger

Until today, vital signs monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is based on wired sensors, known to cause discomfort and false alarms. In view of overcoming such issues we investigate a contactless method for respiration monitoring by means of ...

Tomographic in vivo microscopy for the study of lung physiology at the alveolar level

Goran Lovric

Lungs represent the essential part of the mammalian respiratory system, which is reflected in the fact that lung failure still is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Establishing the connection between macroscopic observations o ...

Automated computer-assisted quantitative analysis of intact murine lungs at the alveolar scale

Goran Lovric

Using state-of-the-art X-ray tomographic microscopy we can image lung tissue in three dimensions in intact animals down to a micrometer precision. The structural complexity and hierarchical branching scheme of the lung at this level of details, however, re ...

Effect of PpIX photoproducts formation on pO2 measurement by time-resolved delayed fluorescence spectroscopy of PpIX in solution and in vivo

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Veronika Huntosova

The measurement of Protoporphyrin IX delayed fluorescence lifetime is a minimally invasive method for monitoring the levels of oxygen in cells and tissues. The excitation of Protoporphyrin IX during this measurement can lead to the formation of photoproduc ...

Portable oxidative stress sensor: Dynamic and non-invasive measurements of extracellular H2O2 released by algae

Olivier Martin, Christian Santschi, Volodymyr Koman

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by aerobic organisms are essential for physiological processes such as cell signaling, apoptosis, immune defense and oxidative stress mechanisms. Unbalanced oxidant/antioxidant budgets are involved in many diseases a ...

Homogenization of a multiscale viscoelastic model with nonlocal damping, application to the human lungs

Paul Isaac Denis Louis Marie Cazeaux

We are interested in the mathematical modeling of the deformation of the human lung tissue, called the lung parenchyma, during the respiration process. The parenchyma is a foam-like elastic material containing millions of air-filled alveoli connected by a ...

A reduced-order strategy for solving inverse Bayesian shape identication problems in physiological flows

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni, Toni Mikael Lassila

A reduced-order strategy based on the reduced basis (RB) method is developed for the efficient numerical solution of statistical inverse problems governed by PDEs in domains of varying shape. Usual discretization techniques are infeasible in this context, ...

Time course of flow-induced adaptation of carotid artery biomechanical properties, structure and zero-stress state in the arteriovenous shunt

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Numerous studies have provided evidence of diameter adaptation secondary to flow-overload. but with ambiguous findings vis a vis other morphological parameters and information on the biomechanical aspects of arterial adaptation is rather incomplete. We exa ...

Adaptive FID-navigators for respiration monitoring in multi-slice fMRI applications

Rolf Gruetter, Tobias Kober, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Reto Meuli, Gunnar Krüger

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures activation-induced signal changes by means of the blood-oxygenation-level-depended (BOLD) contrast. Since signal changes are typically only 1-3%, the method is intrinsically sensitive to all signal inst ...
