متن کاملStudying the Mechanical Behavior of Tissue in the Generation of Pressure Sores using Simulation and a Guinea Pig Experimental Model
Introduction: Pressure sores refer to lesions that are produced while a constant pressure causes necrotic tissue to grow. The need for a better comprehension of the process has led researchers to artificial generation of pressure sores. Modeling the mechanical behavior of tissue will provide a better understanding of this process as well as a more suitable selection ...
