Predicting Postsurgery Nasal Physiology with Computational Modeling

Importance of Paranasal Sinuses in Computational Modeling of Nasal AirFlow

This paper investigates the importance of including paranasal sinuses in the computational modeling of the nasal airflow. Three dimensional models of human nasal airway with and without including paranasal sinuses were reconstructed from Computed tomography (CT) axial images of a subject with healthy nasal airway. The reconstruction process was performed using MIMICS® software program. The airw...

Advances in Computational Modeling of Cochlear Implant Physiology and Perception

Models of cochlear implant physiology and perception have historically utilized deterministic descriptions of auditory-nerve (AN) responses to electrical stimulation, which ignore stochastic activity present in the response. Physiological models of AN responses have been developed that do incorporate stochastic activity [8][13][14][27][38][39], but the consequences of stochastic activity for th...

Workshop on Computational Physiology

Conduction velocity in the heart is dependent on two main factors: intercellular electrical coupling and cellular electrical excitability. There is significant redundancy, “conduction reserve”, in these parameters such that significant reduction in the conduction velocity of the action potential requires either a large change in one of these parameters or combined changes in both. We have used ...

Nasal Valve: anatomy and physiology Summary

Role of Positive Thinking and Personality Traits in Predicting Satisfaction with Nasal Surgeries

Rhinoplasty is recognized as a complicated, but common procedure. Although patient satisfaction with these surgeries is less commonly discussed, it is one of the most important determinants of surgical success. This study aimed to predict the patients’ satisfaction with nasal surgeries, based on their personality traits and positive thinking. This cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational stu...
