This study aims to explore the feasibility of using a structure inspired by the features of horsetail and human spine as the potential helmet liner, targeting at mitigation of acceleration‐induced injuries. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of individual geometrical variables in the design, indicating its capability to reduce ...

SPINAL INJURIES IN INFANTS. [PDF]
The subject of spinal injuries in infants is presented to you in order that a discussion by this body of these injuries will determine their relation to the faulty development of the spine in the young, and to determine the relation between trauma and spinal caries. The "traumatic spine" may be defined as any injury to the spinal column.
