Article Synopsis
  • The immersed boundary method is used to tackle fluid-structure interaction problems in biology, allowing for easier handling of complex shapes without needing matching grids for fluids and structures.
  • A new software library has been developed to help convert complex geometries from digital images into finite difference discretizations for use in 2D immersed boundary simulations.
  • Examples of the method's application include simulating fluid flow through insect wing veins, lymphatic capillaries, and around starfish, showcasing its versatility with open-source software.

A 2-year-old, female spayed, domestic shorthair cat presented to the University of Missouri-Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (UMC-VMTH) with an approximately 11-month history of fluid-draining pockets along her ventral thorax and axillae. The skin in these regions was erythematous, and multiple areas drained a serous to serosanguinous fluid. Fluid-filled, nodules formed along the ventrum, but these nodules disappeared as fluid drained spontaneously.

A 9-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse gelding was presented for diagnosis of the cause of extensive alopecia. Complete hair loss was noted over the head, neck, shoulder, thigh, and proximal limbs, but the trunk, distal limbs, pelvic area, mane, and tail were unaffected. The alopecic areas were visually noninflammatory with no exudate or crust except on the shoulder and along the back, where multifocal patchy areas of alopecia with scales and crust were evident.
