Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) Simulations of aerosol deposition in the lungs
(TSFP-9, 2015)In the current study, Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are used to investigate the transport and deposition of inhaled aerosol particles (dp = 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 μm) in a realistic geometry of the human airways under ...

Direct numerical simulation of particle laden flow in a human airway bifurcation model
(2016)During the delivery of inhaled medicines, and depending on the size distribution of the particles in the formulation, airway bifurcations are areas of preferential deposition. Previous studies of laminar flow through airway ...

Fully turbulent flow in a physiologically realistic human airway bifurcation
(TSFP-9, 2015)Recent computational studies have shown that the airflow in the upper human airways is turbulent during much of the respiratory cycle. A feature of respiratory airflow that poses a challenge to computations based on ...

High incidence of malignant pleural mesothelioma in neighbouring villages of Northwestern Greece
(1987)Between 1981 and 1985 seven patients from three villages of the Metsovo area in Northwestern Greece (population 5000) developed malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The diagnosis was made with pleural biopsy and pleural ...

Immunization of patients with sjögren's syndrome with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine
(1980)Thirty‐two patients with Sjögren's syndrome were randomly selected to receive either multivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine or saline placebo in a double‐blind study. Among placebo treated patients, levels of ...

Particle deposition in a realistic geometry of the human conducting airways: Effects of inlet velocity profile, inhalation flowrate and electrostatic charge
(2016)Understanding the multitude of factors that control pulmonary deposition is important in assessing the therapeutic or toxic effects of inhaled particles. The use of increasingly sophisticated in silico models has improved ...
