A computational study of droplet-spray formation from pressurized metered dose inhalers with applications to drug deposition in a human lung-airway model

Sridhar, K., Chari, S., & Kleinstreuer, C. (2023, March 16). AEROSOL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

By: K. Sridhar  n, S. Chari  n & C. Kleinstreuer n

author keywords: Jonathan P; Reid
topics (OpenAlex): Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery; Aerosol Filtration and Electrostatic Precipitation; Microencapsulation and Drying Processes
TL;DR: The general problems of high, wasteful oropharyngeal deposition and cold impacting droplets were tackled by devising a new ‘pulsed injection’ strategy in which the spray was broken into pulses with a time delay between them, indicating up to a 20% increase in useful lung deposition beyond the oropharyx over conventional drug administration methods.

Modeling of inertial particle transport and deposition in human nasal cavities with wall roughness

author keywords: human nasal cavity; inertial particle decomposition; computer analysis; wall roughness
topics (OpenAlex): Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery; Particle Dynamics in Fluid Flows; Aerosol Filtration and Electrostatic Precipitation
TL;DR: Considering drug–aerosol targeting, an optimal impaction parameter value exists which generates for normal inlet conditions the largest deposition in desired areas, e.g., the middle meatus, inferior meatus and olfactory regions, however, the absolute deposition efficiencies are very small because particles hardly reach those regions due to the complex nasal geometric structures.

Hemodynamic simulations and computer aided designs of graft-artery junctions

Lei, M., Kleinstreuer, C., & Archie, J. P. (1997, August). JOURNAL OF BIOMECHANICAL ENGINEERING-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME, Vol. 119, pp. 343–348.

By: M. Lei n, C. Kleinstreuer n & J. Archie n

MeSH headings : Algorithms; Anastomosis, Surgical / adverse effects; Animals; Arteries / physiopathology; Blood Flow Velocity; Blood Vessel Prosthesis / adverse effects; Computer Simulation; Computer-Aided Design; Constriction, Pathologic / etiology; Constriction, Pathologic / physiopathology; Femoral Artery / physiology; Femoral Artery / surgery; Hemodynamics / physiology; Humans; Models, Cardiovascular; Recurrence; Stress, Mechanical; Vascular Patency
topics (OpenAlex): Coronary Interventions and Diagnostics; Cardiac and Coronary Surgery Techniques; Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices
TL;DR: The hypothesis is that nonuniform hemodynamics, represented by large sustained wall shear stress gradients, trigger abnormal biological processes leading to rapid restenosis and hence early graft failure, and this problem may be significantly mitigated by designing graft-artery bypass configurations for which the wallShear stress gradient is approximately zero and hence nearly uniform hemodynamics are achieved.
