Numerical investigation of oxygen mass transfer in a helical-type artery bypass graft.

abstract：:Osteoporosis (OP) is common with advancing age. Several studies have shown a strong correlation between OP and otosclerosis. However, no studies have investigated OP of the malleus, incus or stapes in the human middle ear, its effect on middle ear transfer function. Here, we investigate whether these three ossicles de...
