The relationship between residual limb health, motion within the socket, and prosthetic suspension
PM&R, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 510-521, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Residual limb health is critical for continued prosthesis use; however, many prosthesis users experience skin‐related breakdown. The interface between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket sets the local mechanical environment and plays a role in skin stresses.

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 180, Issue 4, Page 422-440, February 2023., 2023 Background and Purpose Traumatic haemorrhage (TH) is the leading cause of potentially preventable deaths that occur during the prehospital phase of care. No effective pharmacological therapeutics are available for critical TH patients yet. Here, we identify terminal complement activation (TCA) as a therapeutic target in combat casualties and evaluate ...

Wound Repair and Regeneration, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 541-545, September/October 2022., 2022 Abstract Infection is a major source of complications in delayed diabetic wound healing. Increased understanding of differential bacterial responses to diabetic wounds will enable us to better understand chronic wound pathogenesis. Here we create delayed‐healing wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus in non‐diabetic and diabetic mice and used RNA ...

Can real-time visual feedback during gait retraining reduce metabolic demand for individuals with transtibial amputation? [PDF]
, 2017 The metabolic demand of walking generally increases following lower extremity amputation. This study used real-time visual feedback to modify biomechanical factors linked to an elevated metabolic demand of walking in individuals with transtibial ...

Augmentation and vocal fold biomechanics in a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury model
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 1057-1064, August 2022., 2022 We found that in vocal fold biomechanical properties match thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle atrophy after recurrent laryngeal nerve transection over time. While both carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa) increase vocal fold stiffness after denervation, this effect diminishes with time and does not alter TA atrophy.
