Physics-informed stereology for estimating placental diffusive exchange capacity

Richard Mcnair, Carl A. Whitfield, Gowsihan Poologasundarampillai…·Igor L. Chernyavsky

The paper evaluates stereological methods for estimating placental diffusive exchange capacity using virtual histology and computational modeling, finding systematic overestimation of diffusive length scale by 15-25%.

The impact of placental structure on haemodynamics and fetal oxygen uptake

Zak Crowson, Adam Blakey, Dimitrios Amanitis…·Reuben D. O’Dea

This study uses computational models to show that placental structure significantly affects maternal blood flow and fetal oxygen uptake, with the vein-to-artery ratio being a key determinant of placental efficiency.
