#newinJBME #technicalbrief Prolonged axial loading does not alter the mechanical properties of the porcine annulus fibrosus. A trend toward increased adhesion strength variability in cyclically loaded samples suggests a potential risk for delamination.

#newinJBME This #technicalbrief presents a self-adapting algorithm to detect gait phases such as toe-off and initial contact in real time using an inertial measurement unit, achieving a high detection success rate across varying walking speeds.

#newinJBME This #technicalbrief demonstrates that 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC) provides accurate kinematic measurements for non-penetrating blunt impacts, with advantages for assessing trauma from sports and military situations.

#newinJBME A new lattice structure for bone tissue engineering shows improved permeability and significantly enhanced active cell proliferation area, making it a promising advancement over conventional scaffolds.

#newinJBME Enzymatic digestion of intervertebral discs can significantly alter the mechanics of intradiscal injection and leakage, highlighting the need for caution when using this approach to simulate intervertebral disc degeneration.

#throwbackthursday Our most cited article from five years ago this month used CFD to evaluate the effects of left subclavian artery coverage during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in type B aortic dissection.

#newinJBME #openaccess Using a 6-axis robot for cortical bone drilling combined with cryogenic cooling via liquid nitrogen significantly improves precision, reduces thermal risk, and enhances chip evacuation compared to traditional methods.

#newinJBME Modeling of post-implant collagen remodeling in engineered pulmonary artery conduits reveals that while conduits maintain dimensional stability, their internal collagen structure undergoes significant changes over time.

#newinJBME Residual strain and joint pressurization maintain collagen tension, even in the absence of external loads, suggesting these factors are crucial for understanding ligament mechanics.

#newinJBME Research from @UCDavis finds that understanding the dependency of the variation in sagittal curvature on femoral condyles can help design knee replacement components that better match native knee kinematics.

#newinJBME A new predictive dynamic simulation method for determining optimal knee implant positioning after total knee arthroplasty could enhance surgical outcomes by improving load distribution and alignment based on individual patient data.

#newinJBME A mathematical model reveals how neuronal firing affects ATP concentrations in synaptic boutons, showing that boutons without stationary mitochondria can still maintain adequate ATP levels despite oscillations in demand.

#newinJBME Fetal position during vaginal delivery impacts stress on the fetal brain. Patient-specific simulations reveal that while the left-occiput-anterior position reduces maternal tissue deformation, it may increase brain stress for the baby.

#newinJBME This #ReviewArticle examines methods to determine tibiofemoral kinematics to restore function and maximize implant longevity in total knee replacement surgery.
