#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4066…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4066…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4043…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4066…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4066…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#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. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#newinJBME This #ReviewArticle examines methods to determine tibiofemoral kinematics to restore function and maximize implant longevity in total knee replacement surgery. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…
