Neurological disorders leading to mechanical dysfunction of the esophagus: an emergent behavior of a neuromechanical dynamical system
Guy Elisha, Sourav Halder, Xinyi Liu +4
An understanding how neurological disorders lead to mechanical dysfunction of the esophagus requires knowledge of the neural circuit of the enteric nervous system. Historically, th…
Direct and retrograde signal propagation in unidirectionally coupled Wilson-Cowan oscillators
Guy Elisha, Richard Gast, Sourav Halder +4
Certain biological systems exhibit both direct and retrograde propagating wave signals, despite unidirectional neural coupling. However, there is no model to explain this. Therefor…
A mechanics--based perspective on the function of human sphincters during functional luminal imaging probe manometry
Guy Elisha, Sourav Halder, Dustin A. Carlson +4
Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) is used to measure cross-sectional area (CSA) and pressure at sphincters. It consists of a catheter surrounded by a fluid filled cylindrical…
Pressure -- area loop based phenotypic classification and mechanics of esophagogastric junction physiology
Guy Elisha, Sourav Halder, Shashank Acharya +5
The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is located at the distal end of the esophagus and acts as a valve allowing swallowed materials to enter the stomach and preventing acid reflux. I…
Peristaltic regimes in esophageal transport
Guy Elisha, Shashank Acharya, Sourav Halder +5
A FLIP device gives cross-sectional area along the length of the esophagus and one pressure measurement, both as a function of time. Deducing mechanical properties of the esophagus…
Esophageal virtual disease landscape using mechanics-informed machine learning
Sourav Halder, Jun Yamasaki, Shashank Acharya +6
The pathogenesis of esophageal disorders is related to the esophageal wall mechanics. Therefore, to understand the underlying fundamental mechanisms behind various esophageal disor…
Fluid-structure instability forecasts thoracic aortic aneurysm progression
Tom Y. Zhao, Ethan M. I. Johnson, Guy Elisha +5
The basic mechanism driving aneurysm growth is unknown. Currently, clinical diagnosis of an aneurysm is mainly informed by retrospective tracking of its size and growth rate. Howev…
