Mathematical modelling of physiological systems promises to advance
our understanding of complex biological phenomena and
pathophysiology of diseases. In this book, the authors adopt a
mathematical approach to characterize and explain the functioning
of the gastrointestinal system. Using the mathematical foundations
of thin shell theory, the authors patiently and comprehensively
guide the reader through the fundamental theoretical concepts, via
step-by-step derivations and mathematical exercises, from basic
theory to complex physiological models. Applications to nonlinear
problems related to the biomechanics of abdominal viscera and the
theoretical limitations are discussed. Special attention is given
to questions of complex geometry of organs, effects of boundary
conditions on pellet propulsion, as well as to clinical conditions,
e.g. functional dyspepsia, intestinal dysrhythmias and the effect
of drugs to treat motility disorders. With end of chapter problems,
this book is ideal for bioengineers and applied mathematicians.
