A 3D Continuum Finite Element Muscle Model for the Investigation of Cervical Spine Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Injury Assessment during Impact Loading Scenarios
DownloadFall 2018
The mechanical behavior of the individual cervical tissues as well as the head-neck complex kinematics plays a very important role in proper functioning of the cervical spine and is a key factor in more appropriate understanding of injury mechanism, prevention, detection, control and treatment....

Bilateral Uterine Artery Ligation in Rats cultivates Long Term Neurological Deficits reminiscent of Human Cerebral Palsy: A model for Therapeutic Intervention.
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a ubiquitous term used to describe a group of permanent, non-progressive disorders of movement, posture, and behaviour. Despite countless advances in neonatal medicine, the incidence of CP has remained constant in term infants over the last three decades. More...

Cardiovascular Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training in Hypoxic-induced Intrauterine Growth Restriction
DownloadFall 2017
Fetal hypoxia is one of the most common consequences of complicated pregnancies worldwide. It has been demonstrated that prenatal hypoxia leads to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Being born growth restricted is associated with a decrease in cardiomyocyte proliferation, an increased...

Design and Characterization of a Novel Mechanical Surrogate Neck Model for Use in Head Impact Applications
DownloadFall 2020
Head and brain injuries are commonly caused by head impacts in sport and recreational activities. Despite attempts to decrease head impact injury risk through mandated helmet use, mild brain injuries are still prevalent. Brain injury research and helmet assessment methods use surrogate models to...

Exploiting the Enhanced Permeability and Retention Effect for the Targeting of Tumors with 18F-SiFA Polymer Nanoparticles
DownloadFall 2017
Over the last several decades great progress has been made in cancer diagnosis and detection. One foundation of this progress has been improved imaging technologies. Among the most promising imaging technologies for cancer detection is Positron Emission Tomography (PET). PET imaging allows for...

Figure skaters' perceptions of the social support provided by their coaches following an injury
DownloadFall 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine figure skaters‟ perceptions regarding their injury experiences and the support provided by their coaches following their injuries. Eight female, competitive figure skaters were interviewed. The interview questions assessed the injury experience, the...
