Sarcopenia ‘made simple’ and outcomes from emergency laparotomy
CT‐assessed ratio of L3 vertebral body cross‐sectional area to total psoas muscle cross‐sectional area (L3:PM) is a simple yet significant predictor of 30‐, 90‐ and 365‐day mortality in emergency laparotomy patients. This study is the first to describe the association in an Australian population.

A novel in vivo approach to assess strains of the human abdominal wall under known intraabdominal pressure [PDF]
The study concerns mechanical behaviour of a living human abdominal wall. A better mechanical understanding of a human abdominal wall and recognition of its material properties is required to find mechanically compatible surgical meshes to significantly improve the treatment of ventral hernias.

Full-field in vivo experimental study of the strains of a breathing human abdominal wall with intra-abdominal pressure variation [PDF]
The presented study aims to assess the mechanical behaviour of the anterior abdominal wall based on an in vivo experiment on humans. Full-field measurement of abdominal wall displacement during changes of intra-abdominal pressure is performed using a digital image correlation (DIC) system.
