Establishing, versus Maintaining, Brain Function: A Neuro-computational Model of Cortical Reorganization after Injury to the Immature Brain [PDF]
The effect of age at injury on outcome after acquired brain injury (ABI) has been the subject of much debate. Many argue that young brains are relatively tolerant of injury. A contrasting viewpoint due to Hebb argues that greater system integrity may be required for the initial establishment of a function than for preservation of an already-established

Whiplash Gradient Descent Dynamics [PDF]
In this paper, we propose the Whiplash Inertial Gradient dynamics, a closed-loop optimization method that utilises gradient information, to find the minima of a cost function in finite-dimensional settings. We introduce the symplectic asymptotic convergence analysis for the Whiplash system for convex functions. We also introduce relaxation sequences to

Validating a Device for Whiplash Motion Simulation in a Porcine Model [PDF]
Whiplash injury is a common outcome following minor automobile collisions. One theorizedmechanism for whiplash injury is that the rapid head and neck motions induced by a collision caninjure nerve cells in the dorsal root ganglia through pressure ...

Background Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are an enormous and costly burden to Australian society. Up to 50% of people who experience a whiplash injury will never fully recover. Whiplash is resistant to treatment and no early management approach has

Effective injury forecasting in soccer with GPS training data and machine learning [PDF]
Injuries have a great impact on professional soccer, due to their large influence on team performance and the considerable costs of rehabilitation for players. Existing studies in the literature provide just a preliminary understanding of which factors mostly affect injury risk, while an evaluation of the potential of statistical models in forecasting ...

Regenerative Medicine for Tendon/Ligament Injuries: De Novo Equine Tendon/Ligament Neotissue Generation and Application [PDF]
Tendon and ligament injuries are debilitating conditions across species. Poor regenerative capacities of these tissues limit restoration of original functions. The first study of this dissertation evaluated the effect of cellular administration on tendon/ligament injuries in horses using meta-analysis.

Minor Head Injury Symptoms and Recovery From Whiplash Injury: A 1-Year Prospective Study. [PDF]
Aim: To examine concussion-related disability in neck injuries, the Rivermead Head Injury Follow-Up Questionnaire (RHFUQ) was applied. Furthermore, we wanted to investigate symptoms found in post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and global pain, neck pain ...
