Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage heart failure. Nonetheless, the development of Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) limits the longevity of transplanted cardiac allografts and the survival of recipients. The pathogenesis of CAV begins with a...

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...

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....

Although a number of cytoskeletal derangements have been described in the setting of traumatic axonal injury (TAI), little is known of early structural changes that may serve to initiate a cascade of further axonal degeneration. Recent work by the authors has examined conformational changes in...

Vitrification of articular cartilage (AC) could enhance tissue availability but requires high concentrations of cyroprotective agents (CPAs). This study investigated relative injuries caused by commonly used CPAs. We hypothesized that the in situ chondrocyte dose–injury relationships of five...

For athletes at the competitive level, injury due to the sport is highly probable. Athletes must continually deal with existing injuries and fears of new injuries throughout the season, which can cause considerable stress. Self-efficacy has been shown to influence how people feel, think and...

Sensory Nerve Injuries: Advances in Diagnosis and Novel Therapy to Enhance Sensory Recovery in Humans
DownloadFall 2013
The unique difference between central and peripheral nervous systems is that regeneration actually occurs in the periphery. However, the functional recovery after surgical repair is highly variable and return to pre-injury state despite surgical advances is rare. When specifically looking at...

Prediction of Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Patterns of Human Cervical Spine Injuries Due to High-Velocity Impact Using Finite Element Method
DownloadFall 2013
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the loading rate dependency, load-sharing and injury mechanisms of the C2-C3 cervical spine unit. A ligamentous bio-realistic finite element model was constructed considering comprehensive geometrical representation at tissue level components...
