Senior Design Project
Bio-Electrophysiological model of the stomach
Gastric pacing can extrinsically modify and control ICC frequencies and has been applied in an attempt to improve motility and symptoms associated with gastroparesis. Several models have been employed to determine the most efficient pacing parameters such as stimulus location, amplitude, pulse width and frequency.
A Finite State Machine model based on the work of Peng Du, Shameer Sathar, Mark L. Trew, Greg O’Grady, and Leo K. Cheng was proposed and implemented in Simulink.
Post Grad Research
Project Mentor Worked on a Simulink model that simulates normal gastric rhythmicity, and modeled dysrhythmic patterns and frequencies (bradygastria, tachygastria), in real time. When applied with a model input as a mathematical function akin to a single ICC activation i.e., combination of an upstroke and a plateau phase, the model responded with normal antegrade activation at 3 cpm. The propagation velocity matched expected physiological values i.e., 8, 3, and 5.7 mm/s for pacemaker, corpus and antrum, respectively. Decomposing the same input function into high or low frequency signals (using a Chebyshev filter), the model was able to simulate tachygastria (5 cpm) and bradygastria (2 cpm) conditions. A pacing application was demonstrated, whereby applying external pulse trains at 3 cpm to the 4th ring, in time with dysrhythmic onset, effectively restored bradygastria to a normal frequency.
