Pressure-related chronic wounds are an important health concern that affects millions of patients and accumulates billions in annual costs. These wounds may occur when soft tissues are mechanically co
This volume focuses on the biomechanical modeling of biological tissues in the context of Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS). More specifically, deformable soft tissues are addressed since they are the s
This volume describes the state-of-knowledge in the study of the relationships between mechanical loading states in tissues and common pathophysiologies related to increase in mass of adipose tissues
Thisbook provides a state-of-the-art update, as well as perspectives on futuredirections of research and clinical applications in the implementation ofbiomechanical and biophysical experimental, theor
This book presents regenerative strategies for the treatment of knee joint disabilities. The book is composed of four main sections totaling 19 chapters which review the current knowledge on the clin
This book reviews the state-of-the-art in multiscale computer modeling, examining both its accomplishments and its challenges. Helps connect traditional biomedical engineering at the organ and tissue
This book surveys the latest vascular therapies, including small-diameter tissue-regenerative grafts, stent grafts and endovascular stents, prosthetic heart valves, and implantable cardiac pacemakers.
This handbook focuses on the entire development process of biomedical microsystems that promote special interactions with cells. Fundamentals of cell biology and mechanobiology are described as necess
Computational modeling allows to reduce, refine and replace animal experimentation as well as to translate findings obtained in these experiments to the human background. However these biomedical prob
The book presents a state-of-the-art overview of biomechanical and mechanobiological modeling and simulation of soft biological tissues. Seven well-known scientists working in that particular field di
