Computational simulation of cellular proliferation using a meshless method
Barbosa, M.I.A.; Belinha, Jorge; Jorge, R.M. Natal; Carvalho, A.X.Background and objective: During cell proliferation, cells grow and divide in order to obtain two new genetically identical cells. Understanding this process is crucial to comprehend other biological processes. Computational models and algorithms have emerged to study this process and several examples can be found in the literature. The objective of this work was to develop a new computational model capable of ...
Effect of two different bone cements in thermal necrosis when associated to tit...
Rua, Cláudia C.; Belinha, Jorge; Piloto, P.A.G.; Jorge, R.M. Natal; Oliveira, Vânia C.; Fonseca, E.M.M.The main objective of the paper is to study the thermal effect induced by different bone cements associated with intramedullary nails, titanium and carbon, in bone metastases treatment. The thermal necrosis effect of each cement polymerisation was verified to understand the role of such procedures. Numerical models with nailing systems, introduced in a cortical and spongy bone metastasis, were developed aiming ...
Facial nerve:a clinical and anatomical review
Gentil, Fernanda; Campos, J.C. Reis; Parente, Marco; Santos, C.F.; Areias, Bruno; Jorge, R.M. NatalThe information that pass through the facial nerve allows the expression of our smile, joy or sadness, the “facial expression”. The face is the mark of our individuality. The facial nerve is responsible for innervation of the face muscles, like the previous two-thirds of the tongue and secretion of salivary and tears glands. The aim of this work is to remember the anatomy and physiology of the facial nerve, pat...
A comparative study between eardrum perforations and myringosclerosis
Gentil, Fernanda; Jorge, R.M. Natal; Ferreira, A.J.M.; Parente, M.P.L.; Martins, P.A.L.S.; Alexandre, Fátima; Almeida, E.Anatomically, the ear is divided into three parts (external, middle, and inner ear). The eardrum divides external from middle ear and can develop some pathology. The majority of the eardrum is composed by pars tensa being the superior area known as pars flaccida. Myringosclerosis (formation of dense connective tissue in the eardrum) is a common sequel of the ventilation tube insertion used for the treatment of ...
