An innovative total temporomandibular joint prosthesis with customized design and 3D printing additive fabrication: a prospective clinical study

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background Total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis is an effective and reliable method of joint reconstruction. However, there is still an urgent need to design a new TMJ prosthesis because of no commercially available TMJ prosthesis appropriate ...

Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current

Modelling muscle spindle dynamics for a proprioceptive prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
25.04.13 KB. Ok to add accepted version to Spiral. IEEEMuscle spindles are found throughout our skeletal muscle tissue and continuously provide us with a sense of our limbs position and motion (proprioception).

Intelligent ankle–foot prosthesis based on human structure and motion bionics

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
The ankle–foot prosthesis aims to compensate for the missing motor functions by fitting the motion characteristics of the human ankle, which contributes to enabling the lower-limb amputees to take care of themselves and improve mobility in daily life. To

Prosthetic joint infection caused by Granulicatella adiacens: a case series and review of literature

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
Background Bone and joint infection involving Granulicatella adiacens is rare, and mainly involved in cases of bacteremia and infectious endocarditis. Here we report three cases of prosthetic joint infection involving G.

BAP31 Drives Cartilage Calcification through Disruption of Autophagosome–Lysosome Fusion in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical stress activates BAP31 in chondrocytes. BAP31 competes with ATG14 for binding to STX17, disrupting the STX17–ATG14 complex required for autophagosome–lysosome fusion. The resultant autophagic flux blockade drives the generation of autophagy‐derived exosomes, which mediate pathological cartilage calcification in OA. Chondrocyte‐targeted BAP31

Simulated joint and muscle forces in reversed and anatomic shoulder prostheses [PDF]

open access: yes
Reversed shoulder prostheses are increasingly being used for the treatment of glenohumeral arthropathy associated with a deficient rotator cuff. These non-anatomical implants attempt to balance the joint forces by means of a semi-constrained articular ...

Flexibility within the middle ears of vertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Introduction and aims: Tympanic middle ears have evolved multiple times independently among vertebrates, and share common features. We review flexibility within tympanic middle ears and consider its physiological and clinical implications.

Wavy‐Interlocked Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Enhanced by Liquid Metal Microflowers for Self‐Powered Wearable Motion Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic showing a stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator based on interlocked wavy architectures that uses EGaIn microflower‐embedded PVDF‐TrFE and Nylon‐6 nanofiber membranes. The multi‐petaled, electron‐rich EGaIn microflowers enhance interfacial polarization and capacitance, while the interlocked wavy architecture enlarges the effective contact ...
