  3. 17. A patient-specific poroelastic model of a brain with a subdural hematoma

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Inst.)

    Author : Carolyn Langen; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A patient-specific poroelastic model of the brain was constructed in COMSOL Multiphysics and evaluated for its usability in a clinical setting. Image processing of magnetic resonance (MR) images of a standard (uninjured) brain and a computed tomography (CT) scan of a patient with a subdural hematoma was used to make an estimation of the shape patient’s pre-injury brain and obtain a deformation map describing the displacement due to the hematoma.

    Author : Feria Hikmet Noraddin; [2011]
    Keywords : avian antibodies; cystatin C; method validation; particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay; urine;

    Abstract : Cystatin C, a 13 kDa low molecular weight protein is an inhibitor of cysteine proteases. Due to its low molecular weight and positive charge at physiological pH, it is freely filtered by the glomerulus and catabolized after reabsorption by proximal tubular cells with a low concentration (0.03-0.3 mg/L) in urine amongst healthy subjects.
