The second association involved rs2071676-A allele within the Carbonic anhydrase (CA9) gene that was significantly elevated in chronic HBV infection group compared to the clearance group (P = 0.0003, OR = 1.35, 95% CI [1.15, 1.58]). Upon replication these gene associations would suggest the influence of DOCK8 and CA9 as potential risk genetic factors in the persistence of HBV infection.PURPOSE Modeling of hemolysis due to fluid stresses faces significant methodological challenges, particularly in geometries with turbulence or complex flow patterns. It is currently unclear how existing phenomenological blood-damage models based on laminar viscous stresses can be implemented into turbulent computational fluid dynamics simulations. The aim of this work is to generalize the existing laminar models to turbulent flows based on first principles, and validate this generalization with existing experimental data. METHODS A novel analytical and numerical framework for the simulation of flow-induced hemolysis based on the intermittency-corrected turbulent viscous shear stress (ICTVSS) is introduced. The proposed large-eddy simulation framework is able to seamlessly transition from laminar to turbulent conditions in a single flow domain by linking laminar shear stresses to dissipation of mechanical energy, accounting for intermittency in turbulent dissipation, and relying on existing power-law hemolysis to turbulent flows shows promise, but would benefit from further numerical validation and carefully designed experiments.BACKGROUND The prognosis of pneumonia in patients with advanced stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unimproved for years. We attempt to develop a simple and more useful scoring system for predi
