DigitalHuman, new version of QHP

[Hester]

A new version of QHP has been uploaded. QHP has been changed to
DigitalHuman, more reflecting the overall model. A user can still
simulate a male or female, as described below:

DigitalHuman is the latest version of QHP. This version has the
capability to model either a male or female.
Future versions will include additional traits, gender, age, size,
adiposity. Traits are used to scale the model. Currently gender is
the only trait that can be changed.
A file, DigitalHuman.des, is used to determine the trait of the
model. (see the following)

How do you change the model? Right now the default is male. To
change from MALE to FEMALE one edits DigitalHuman.des and uncomments
"create GENDER-FEMALE" line.
Thus change
<!-- <?create GENDER-FEMALE ?> --> TO <?create GENDER-FEMALE ?>
then save the file
Thus remove the "<!—" and " -->" and save the file. Once you run
DigitalHuman by clicking on the icon the program then creates the
female version of DigitalHuman. To change back to male just add the
"<!—" and " -->" and save the file.
The model then creates the initial conditions for a female, different
scaling of physiological variables, adding ovaries and female
hormones, and removing testes. This DigitalHuman female version
provides a simulation of the female menstrual cycle. The effects of
the female hormones on physiological parameters have not yet been
added to the model.

Hi, Robert,

 

will you go to Kobe IUPS teaching meeting?

I'm new to this software and interested in looking at the response to
cardiac arrest and resuscitation. When I fibrillate the model for 5
minutes, I get an error - divide by zero hepatic blood flow/total blood
flow.

Is there a way around this?

Can you provide me with some more specific details about your simulation?  Did you have a control period, when did you initiate vfib, when did you initiate defib?
We'll try and figure out the problem

New version of Equation Wiever for new version of QHP - you nust look it using Mozilla Firefox (not Microsoft Explorer),

Happy Easter to all,
