Análise do deslocamento do bolo alimentar: comparação entre o esôfago saudável e modelo de megaesôfago chagásico

Abstract: Objective: to study the dynamics of the human esophagus behavior when affected by Chagas disease. Methods: a mass-spring-damper model was proposed to model the food through the esophagus during peristaltic action. After that, parameters were recalculated to simulate a chagasic megaesophagus.

According to the results obtained, the food displacement in a … Show more
