Simulating Microdosimetry in a Virtual Hepatic Lobule
The liver plays a key role in removing harmful chemicals from the body and is therefore often the first tissue to suffer potentially adverse consequences. To protect public health it is necessary to quantitatively estimate the risk of long-term low dose exposure to environmental pollutants. Animal testing is the primary tool for extrapolating human risk but it is fraught with uncertainty, neces...
متن کاملSimulating Virtual Humans in Networked Virtual Environments
In the past decade Networked Virtual Environments have been an increasingly active area of research, with first commercial systems emerging recently. Graphical and behavioral representation of users within such systems is a particularly important issue that has lagged in development behind other issues like network architectures, space structuring etc. In this paper we expose the importance of ...
متن کاملBuilding a 3D Virtual Liver: Methods for Simulating Blood Flow and Hepatic Clearance on 3D Structures
In this paper, we develop a spatio-temporal modeling approach to describe blood and drug flow, as well as drug uptake and elimination, on an approximation of the liver. Extending on previously developed computational approaches, we generate an approximation of a liver, which consists of a portal and hepatic vein vasculature structure, embedded in the surrounding liver tissue. The vasculature is...
متن کاملHigh-throughput PBPK and microdosimetry: cell-level exposures in a virtual tissue context
Neurospheres are three dimensional (3D) cell clusters consisting of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). NPCs provide the cellular basis for the developing brain and persist in the hippocampus up to old age. there, they are responsible for adult learning and memory. Safety and efficacy testing with 3D neurospheres by employing high content image analyses (HCA) require advanced scanning and evaluatio...
متن کاملA Virtual Human for Simulating Cardiac Emergencies
We describe the development of a virtual patient to be used in medical training applications in the field of cardiac emergencies. Virtual humans have been used mainly for surgical simulations, i.e. applications based on physical rather than physiological modelling. To implement the later, we introduce a qualitative simulation technique that supports the causal modelling of the cardio-vascular s...
