Artificial Heart Valves
The cardiovascular system is a closed circulatory system that ensures blood flow through the human body. Blood circulates through two systems; the first is responsible for pushing blood from the heart to the lungs to capture oxygen, and the second is responsible for distributing oxygenated blood to body organs. This system is composed of a double pump with branched tubes that leads blood from t...
متن کاملFluid mechanics of artificial heart valves.
1. Artificial heart valves have been in use for over five decades to replace diseased heart valves. Since the first heart valve replacement performed with a caged-ball valve, more than 50 valve designs have been developed, differing principally in valve geometry, number of leaflets and material. To date, all artificial heart valves are plagued with complications associated with haemolysis, coag...
متن کاملAcute failure of artificial heart valves.
acute myocardial infarctions has shown that 160 mg aspirin daily reduces mortality after five weeks by a fifth.9 Despite the lack of evidence from clinical trials many patients with transient ischaemic attack and stroke are treated with 75 mg daily (a dose enshrined in the current British National Formulary), with the risk that they may be receiving an inadequate dose, albeit a safe one. On the...
متن کاملExperimental set - up and data
Autocatalytic reaction fronts between reacted and unreacted species may propagate as solitary waves, namely at a constant front velocity and with a stationary concentration profile, resulting from a balance between molecular diffusion and chemical reaction. A velocity field in the supporting medium may affect the propagation of such fronts through different phenomena: convection, diffusion enha...
متن کاملAn Improved Experimental Test Set-up to Study the Performance of Granular Columns
This paper describes an innovative design of a newly developed large test setup for testing the performance of footings supported on soft clay reinforced with granular columns. This advanced testing method is used to examine the settlement of footings supported on granular columns. Two important features of the equipment are a the axial loading system which allows samples to be consolidated und...
