Background: The pressure dependent recruitment model (PRM) is a comprehensive mathematical description of pulmonary mechanics in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, previous investigations of the PRM implied that the number of model parameters may cause inaccurate parameter estimation. Methods: PRM models were evaluated for 12 ARDS patients that underwent a low-flow recruitment manoeuvre. The identified parameter set formed the basis of a parameter reduction investigation of the PRM. The parameter reduction investigation measured the mean cohort residual error (psi) yielded by each possible combination of identified parameter set with the non-identified parameter values set to a priori population constants. Results: Reducing the five variable PRM to a particular three variable model configuration produced a limited increase in model fit to data residuals (psi =22.68, psi(3)=29.21 mbar). The reduced model evaluates airway-resistance, compliance and distension as model variables and uses population values for alveoli opening pressure and the ratio of open alveoli at end expiratory. Conclusions: The reduced PRM model captures all major pressure-volume response features in the ARDS patients. Reduced parameterisation allows more robust parameter identification and thus more reliable parameter estimates that may prove more useful in a clinical setting. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of heterogeneous distribution of gold nanorods (GNRs) on the treatment outcome of bladder cancer. The results show that different GNR distribution leads to different treatment outcomes, and intravesical instillation of GNRs can reduce damage to the surrounding tissues during thermal ablation.

Assessing the energy storage potential of electric hot water cylinders with stochastic model-based control

Baxter Williams, Daniel Bishop, Paul Docherty

Summary: This paper compares different methods of HWC temperature control and presents a methodology to assess the amount of thermal storage available in HWCs for demand side management based on use behavior in different household types. By using simple stochastic methods to predict domestic hot water demand, a smart controller was designed to achieve lower rates of unmet demand and higher available storage compared to traditional controllers. The average storage available for DSM from the use of this smart controller is predicted to be between 3.63 and 7.20 kWh per household. These findings suggest that using HWCs for thermal storage is a cost-effective solution for peak shaving and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in countries like New Zealand.

A computational framework for the multiphysics simulation of microbubble-mediated sonothrombolysis using a forward-viewing intravascular transducer

Zhi Q. Tan, Ean H. Ooi, Yeong S. Chiew, Ji J. Foo, Eddie Y. K. Ng, Ean T. Ooi

Summary: Sonothrombolysis is a technique that uses ultrasonic waves and microbubbles to dissolve blood clots. The optimal ultrasound and microbubble parameters for this technique remain a challenge to determine. In this study, a computational framework was developed to simulate microbubble-mediated sonothrombolysis and investigate the effects of ultrasound pressure, frequency, microbubble radius, and concentration on clot dissolution. The results revealed the dominant role of ultrasound pressure, the potential benefits of smaller microbubbles at higher pressure, the positive impact of higher microbubble concentration, and the dependence of ultrasound frequency on acoustic attenuation. These findings provide important insights for the clinical implementation of sonothrombolysis.

Stochasticity of the respiratory mechanics during mechanical ventilation treatment

Christopher Yew Shuen Ang, Yeong Shiong Chiew, Xin Wang, Mohd Basri Mat Nor, J. Geoffrey Chase

Summary: Stochastic models for predicting intra-patient respiratory system elastance (Ers) in mechanically ventilated patients have been developed using small cohorts, resulting in potential bias and overestimation. This research investigates the effect of tuning the kernel density estimator (KDE) parameter with a constant, c, on the performance of a 30-min interval Ers stochastic model. By developing variations of the stochastic model using different KDE parameters, model bias and overestimation were evaluated. The optimization of the KDE parameter enables more accurate and robust Ers stochastic models, even with limited training data availability.
