A combined experimental and numerical study of stab-penetration forces [PDF]
The magnitude of force used in a stabbing incident can be difficult to quantify, although the estimate given by forensic pathologists is often seen as `critical' evidence in medico-legal situations. The main objective of this study is to develop a quantitative measure of the force associated with a knife stabbing biological tissue, using a combined ...

Neuro-inflammation occurs as a sequence of brain injury and is associated with production of cytokines. Cytokines can modulate the function and survival of neurons, microglia and astrocytes.

A PTAS for the horizontal rectangle stabbing problem [PDF]
We study rectangle stabbing problems in which we are given $n$ axis-aligned rectangles in the plane that we want to stab, i.e., we want to select line segments such that for each given rectangle there is a line segment that intersects two opposite edges of it.

Intraosseous Stab Wound of Scapula: A Case Report
Background: Intraosseous stab wounds are extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the upper extremity. Case Report: In this report, we presented a case of stab wound to the right shoulder with penetration to the scapula.

Intrauterine Bowel Rupture of Fetus from Stab Wound Injury in a Pregnant Woman: A Case- Report
Background: Penetrating injuries of the uterus are rare complications during pregnancy which happen most by stab and gunshot wounds. Although the fetus is enclosed within the protective shield of the uterus, it is vulnerable to forceful trauma to the ...

Curve Stabbing Depth: Data Depth for Plane Curves [PDF]
Measures of data depth have been studied extensively for point data. Motivated by recent work on analysis, clustering, and identifying representative elements in sets of trajectories, we introduce {\em curve stabbing depth} to quantify how deeply a given curve $Q$ is located relative to a given set $\cal C$ of curves in $\mathbb{R}^2$.

A QPTAS for stabbing rectangles [PDF]
We consider the following geometric optimization problem: Given $ n $ axis-aligned rectangles in the plane, the goal is to find a set of horizontal segments of minimum total length such that each rectangle is stabbed. A segment stabs a rectangle if it intersects both its left and right edge.

The role of initial geometry in experimental models of wound closing [PDF]
Wound healing assays are commonly used to study how populations of cells, initialised on a two-dimensional surface, act to close an artificial wound space. While real wounds have different shapes, standard wound healing assays often deal with just one simple wound shape, and it is unclear whether varying the wound shape might impact how we interpret ...

A redox-responsive hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel for chronic wound management [PDF]
Polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied for chronic wound therapeutics, due to their well-acclaimed wound exudate management capability. At the same time, there is still an unmet clinical need for simple wound diagnostic tools to assist clinical decision-making at the point of care and deliver on the vision of patient-personalised wound ...
