Mechanical simulation study of postoperative displacement of trochanteric fractures using the finite element method

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2018
Background Femoral trochanteric fractures are common among older adults. In the reduction of trochanteric fractures, acquiring the support of the anterior cortex at the fracture site on lateral view immediately after surgery is important.

Angiogenic T Cells: Potential Biomarkers for the Early Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease in Autoimmune Diseases?

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
(1) Background: We explored, for the first time, the contribution of angiogenic T cells (TAng) in interstitial lung disease associated to autoimmune disease (AD-ILD+) as potential biomarkers of the disease, evaluating their role in the underlying ...

Applications of the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire: A Review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sustainability seeks to provide economically viable products in an environmentally friendly way while respecting worker rights. Physical wellbeing forms part of these rights. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) diminish productivity, cause absence from work,

Targeted Overexpression of Claudin 11 in Osteoblasts Increases Trabecular Bone Mass by Stimulating Osteogenesis at the Expense of Adipogenesis in Mice

open access: yesBiology
Mice lacking Claudin11 (Cldn11) manifest reduced trabecular bone mass. However, the impact of Cldn11 expression in osteoblasts in vivo remains understudied. Herein, we generated osteoblast-specific transgenic (Tg) mice expressing Cldn11 and characterized

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Enhanced Bone Formation in Segmental Defect Healing Using 3D Printed Scaffolds Containing Bone Marrow Stromal Cells and Small Molecules Targeting Chondrogenesis and Osteogenesis

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background/Objectives: Nonunion bone healing results from a critical size defect that fails to bridge a bone injury to produce bony union. Novel approaches are critical for refining therapy in clinically challenging bone injuries, but the complex and ...

Designing optimal controls by parameter optimization for a stance-control knee-ankle-foot orthosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Inverse dynamics simulation is often used in robotic and mechatronic systems to track a desired trajectory by feed-forward control. Musculoskeletal multibody systems are highly overactuated and show a switching number of closed kinematical loops.

The impact of tool selection on back and wrist injury risk in tying steel reinforcement bars: a single case experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The paper explores the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injury in tying steel reinforcement bars. Three tools are compared to determine the extent to which ergonomic tools can reduce the risk of injury to the back and wrist in steel-tying.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Real-time simulation of three-dimensional shoulder girdle and arm dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Electrical stimulation is a promising technology for the restoration of arm function in paralyzed individuals. Control of the paralyzed arm under electrical stimulation, however, is a challenging problem that requires advanced controllers and command ...
