Biomechanics of the Human Stomach

Beschreibung

This book concerns the mathematical modeling and computer simulation of the human stomach. It follows the four modern P’s (prevention, prediction, personalization, and precision in medicine) approach in addressing the highly heterogeneous nature of processes underlying gastric motility disorders manifested as gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, myenteric enteropathy etc.  The book comprehensively guides readers through the fundamental theoretical concepts to complex physiological models of the organ.  This requires a deep and thorough understanding of driving pathophysiological mechanisms as well as the collaborative effort of specialists working in fundamental and biological science. Such a multidisciplinary partnership is vital because it upholds gnostic capabilities and provides the exchange of thoughts and ideas thus offering broad perspectives into the evolution and management of diseases. The book is a valuable resource for applied mathematicians, computational biologists, bioengineers, physicians, physiologists and researchers working in various fields of biomedicine.

Explains the theory of soft thin biological shells and its application

Offers an interdisciplinary look on the pathophysiology, pathogenesis and management of gastric motility disorders

Illustrates the effects of existing and newly synthesized drugs to treat gastric motility disorders

“If you are a researcher seeking to develop or apply a computational model of the human stomach, this book would certainly make a great first (or second) point of reference.” (Anita T. Layton, SIAM Review, Vol. 61 (1), March, 2019)
