A Mechanics-Based Perspective on the Function of Human Sphincters During Functional Luminal Imaging Probe Manometry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) is used to measure cross-sectional area (CSA) and pressure at sphincters. It consists of a catheter surrounded by a fluid filled cylindrical bag, closed on both ends. Plotting the ...
Pumping Patterns and Work Done During Peristalsis in Finite-Length Elastic Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Balloon dilation catheters are often used to quantify the physiological state of peristaltic activity in tubular organs and comment on their ability to propel fluid which is important for healthy human function. To fully ...
