MS027 - The Human Circulation and Associated Diseases: Models, Methods and Simulations.
Keywords: computational methods, human circulation, medical applications
This mini-symposium aims to bring together experts in mathematical modeling, biomedical
engineering, and computational science, alongside physiologists, to explore the
interdisciplinary theme of human circulation and its associated diseases. Emphasis will be
placed on innovative models, robust computational methodologies, and challenging medical
applications.
On the biofluid dynamics front, we will highlight holistic approaches that encompass both
the arterial and venous systems, as well as other fluid compartments, such as cerebrospinal
fluid and lymph. Studies that examine the system-wide coordinated interaction of human
circulation with other bodily systems—particularly the nervous or respiratory systems—are
especially encouraged.
In terms of applications, presentations will address cardiovascular diseases like arterial
hypertension, as well as neurological conditions, such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Presentations focusing on specific regions where circulation plays a critical role are also
welcome. Notable examples include ocular hemodynamics, as well as blood flow to vital
organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, alongside their associated pathologies.
Regarding computational methodologies, we welcome all approaches, with a particular
interest in innovative techniques.
