Confined compression of collagen hydrogels [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2013 Reconstituted collagen hydrogels are often used for in vitro studies of cell-matrix interaction and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Understanding the mechanical and transport behaviours of collagen hydrogels is therefore extremely important, albeit ...

A two-rescuer-method significantly alters CPR-quality during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in an airliner cabin - a randomized, controlled manikin trial [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBetween 1/15,000–1/50,000 passengers suffer in-flight medical emergencies (IFME) with cardiac arrest accounting for 0.3 %. Confined space can have a negative impact on quality of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), thus we have
