Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Exercise‐specific plasma proteomic signatures in racehorses: Candidates for training adaptation and peak load monitoring

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Racehorses undergo profound physiological changes with training and competition, but current biomarkers inadequately capture the complex molecular dynamics of exercise. This study aimed to identify novel plasma biomarkers of training adaptation and peak load using high‐throughput proteomics.

High posterior tibial slope increases graft failure risk but does not impair functional outcomes after primary ACL reconstruction

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Posterior tibial slope (PTS) has been implicated in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure, but its relationship to objective stability and patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) after primary ACL reconstruction (ACLR) remains unclear. The study evaluated whether higher PTS is associated with laximetry, graft survival, and PROs after

Spatiotemporal dynamics of brain function network during proprioception rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A randomized trial

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
The improvement of proprioceptive function after ACLR is related to the optimization of spatiotemporal dynamics of SM, CC, DM, CB and VI functional networks. Rehabilitation optimization can incorporate visual–cognitive dual‐task exercises. Abstract Purpose In this study, we aimed to examine the dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) patterns ...

Ten‐year outcomes of combined ACLR and lateral extra‐articular tenodesis: A systematic review

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This systematic review evaluates long‐term outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with lateral extra‐articular tenodesis (LET), including patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), failure rates, objective knee scores and radiographic osteoarthritis (OA).
