Computer modeling of red blood cell rheology in the microcirculation: a brief overview.

abstract：:Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a type of pressure ulcer in which tissue breakdown initiates at the bone-muscle interface under intact skin. Excessive deformation in the soft tissue, particularly around bony prominences, is believed to be one of the causes leading to the development of DTI. The main goal of this study was...
