P5.19 STIFF ARTERIES, STIFF HEARTS?
Artery Research, 2013 Objectives: To examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and diastolic function in healthy normotensive subjects. Methods: For this study, 43 male (40±10 years) and 64 female (40±9 years) subjects were recruited. All were lifelong non-smokers, normolipidaemic, normoglycaemic and had normal 24-hour blood pressure responses (SBP\DBP <140\90).

Does shear wave ultrasound independently predict axillary lymph node metastasis in women with invasive breast cancer? [PDF]
, 2013 Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise as an adjunct to greyscale ultrasound examination in assessing breast masses. In breast cancer, higher lesion stiffness on SWE has been shown to be associated with features of poor prognosis.

HAND, 2009 Elbow motion is essential for upper extremity function to position the hand in space. Unfortunately, the elbow joint is prone to stiffness following a multitude of traumatic and atraumatic etiologies. Elbow stiffness can be diagnosed with a complete history and physical exam, supplemented with appropriate imaging studies.

Using stiffness to assess injury risk:comparison of methods for quantifying stiffness and their reliability in triathletes [PDF]
, 2018 Background: A review of the literature has indicated that lower body stiffness, defined as the extent to which the lower extremity joints resists deformation upon contact with the ground, may be a useful measure for assessing Achilles injury risk in ...

Coupling with adjustable torsional stiffness [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2021 This study presents a novel coupling design with adjustable torsional stiffness. Since the torsional stiffness of the coupling can be adjusted, it can potentially be applied to tune the torsional natural frequencies of rotating systems.
