Quantification of the stiffness and strength of cadherin ectodomain binding with different ions

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014
The stiffness and strength of extracellular (EC) region of cadherin are proposed to be two important mechanical properties both for cadherin as a mechanotransductor and for the formation of cell-cell adhesion.

Effects of Self-Myofascial Release Using a Foam Roller on the Stiffness of the Gastrocnemius-Achilles Tendon Complex and Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Increased muscle stiffness can contribute to reduced range of motion (ROM) and impaired function. Reduced ankle dorsiflexion ROM has been associated with increased injury risk in the ankle.

Assessment of perinodular stiffness in differentiating malignant from benign thyroid nodules

Endocrine Connections, 2021
Objective: We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of perinodular stiffness, four risk stratification systems (RSSs) (KWAK-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS, EU-TIRADS, and C-TIRADS), and the combination of perinodular stiffness and the four RSSs in di fferentiating ...

The influence of “kickstand” screws on the mechanical performance of a lateral distal femoral plate: a finite element analysis

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Lateral locked plating of distal femoral fractures is widely reported, yet there remains a 9% to 19% incidence of mechanical failure. Obliquely directed “kickstand screws”, from the metaphyseal portion of a plate toward far-sided articular ...
