Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone Reduces the Arthritis Caused by TiO₂ in Mice: Targeting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Cytokine Production, and Nociceptor Sensory Neuron Activation

Molecules, 2023
Arthroplasty is an orthopedic surgical procedure that replaces a dysfunctional joint by an orthopedic prosthesis, thereby restoring joint function. Upon the use of the joint prosthesis, a wearing process begins, which releases components such as titanium

A new passive transfemoral prosthesis mechanism based on 3R36 knee and ESAR foot providing walking and squatting

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2023
Researchers have proposed various linkage mechanisms to connect knee and ankle joints for above-knee prostheses, but most of them only offer natural walking. However, studies have shown that people assume a squatting posture during daily activities. This
