Yet many men stay silent, sitting uncomfortably at their desks or shifting awkwardly in traffic, unsure whether to call it ...

Orthopaedic screws stabilise fractures and ensure proper cohesion of bone fragments. Despite their key role, complications can occur when screws loosen or even break. Until now, it has been difficult ...

Learn all about the importance of fascia and how these tools gave one editor her confidence and mobility back.

A 3D engineered kidney glomerulus model replicates structural and mechanical features of the glomerular filtration barrier, ...

Shear wave speed (SWS) estimation is a noninvasive tool used to measure tissue mechanical properties such as stiffness. The goal of this study was to determine the spatial variability and assess the ...

While haemorrhoids affect both men and women equally, Dr Siboe says more women are likely to report symptoms and seek ...

Tissue-engineered vascular conduits ... synthetic grafts are stiffer than native arteries. The mechanical discordance at the anastomoses induces disruptions of transmural stress and shear stress at ...

Abstract: Most ultrasound elastographic methods utilize a purely elastic model to describe the liver mechanical ... the tissue viscoelastic property should be examined. The objective of this study was ...

This microflow exerts shear stress on the cell ... resulting in their collapse and the generation of stronger mechanical forces. This leads to irreversible damage to cells and tissue destruction.

The technology, tested in rats, is called mechanical tissue resuscitation (MTR) and uses negative pressure to create an environment that fosters cell survival. Louis C. Argenta, M.D., and Michael ...
