    Dear Biomch-l Subscribers:

    I posted a query regarding "modeling of traumatic injuries
    in human limbs " couple of weeks ago. Although I received e-mails
    from 2-3 people who indicated that they were interested in
    the results of my query, I did not receive any other valuable
    response. I am still interested in your ideas and comments.
    Original query:
    ************************************************** ********
    I am working on a project that involves the 3-D modeling of
    traumatic injuries in human limbs (particular emphasize
    will be given to the thigh) The project will have applications
    in the evaluation of injury consequences
    and in the training of medics to treat the injuries.
    As a part of this study, we are interested in modeling
    the bleeding of injured muscles, nerves blood
    vessels, etc.(e.g. injuries caused by gun shot
    wounds). Since I just started working in this
    project, any information related to the following questions
    would be very valuable.

    Q1. Are there any well known bleeding/blood flow
    models in the literature?
    Q2. How can I gather some physical data(i.e: flow
    rate through blood vessels,
    cross-sectional areas of vessels and bones, viscosity of
    blood, amount of blood loss
    in a typical gunshot wounds as a function of time, ... etc.)
    Q3. Are there any public domain or commercial softwares
    or tool kits available?

    I will post the summary of responses as it is
    customary in BIOMCH-L

    ************************************************** *******

    I include the names of the books which may
    be useful to the starters (like me !)
    in this area. They are all about blood flow modeling.
