Abstract: Although it is generally accepted that adverse forces can impair osseointegration, the mechanism of this complication unknown. In study, static and dynamic loads were applied on 10 mm long implants (Brånemark System ® , Nobel Biocare, Sweden) installed bicortically in rabbit tibiae to investigate bone response. Each adult New Zealand black rabbits had one statically loaded implant (with a transverse force 29.4 N distance 1.5 from top implant, resulting bending moment 4.4 Ncm),...
Ultrasound (US) imaging enables the evaluation of vascular structures in real time, and it can provide morphological pathological information during US-guided procedures. Automatic prediction structure boundaries help clinicians locating measuring target more accurately efficiently. Most existing US segmentation methods use per-pixel classification or regression, which require post-processing to obtain contour coordinates. In this work, we present ACE-Net, a novel approach that directly...
Recently developed atrophic non-union models are a good representation of the clinical situation in which many non-unions develop. Based on previous experimental studies with these models, it was hypothesized that order to obtain successful fracture healing, blood vessels, growth factors, and (proliferative) precursor cells all need be present callus at same time. This study uses combined vivo-in silico approach investigate different aspects (vasculature, cell proliferation). The...
Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the Hounsfield values selected bone sites on a computed tomography (CT) scan jaw and investigate relationship between radiological parameter structural parameters. Materials methods: A selection 24 samples out eight cadaver human jaws made. following parameters were measured: value in (HU 1 ) determined by first CT scan, excised specimen 2 second mineral density (BMD) dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry volume (BV/TV) microfocus peak...
A finite element (FE) numerical model of an oral implant was implemented with the theory bone adaptation to predict response over time tissue and explain a phenomenon regarding clinical situation: loss due overload stress. An routine [1], based on Beaupré theory, developed interface FE packages. The value mechanical stimulus, corresponding stress, evaluated by applying Taylor crack propagation theory. predictions obtained analyses demonstrated that resorption is blocked only spongy ‘good quality’.
Brain-skull relative motion plays a pivotal role in the etiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study aims to assess brain-skull quasistatic circumstances, and correlate cortical regions with high amplitudes sites prone cerebral contusions. includes 30 healthy volunteers scanned using clinical 3-T MR scanner four different head positions. Through image processing 3D model registration, pairwise comparisons were performed calculate shift between sagittal coronal positional...
Reward modulation (M1) could be exploited in developing an autonomously updating brain-computer interface (BCI) based on a reinforcement learning (RL) architecture. For RL-based BCI system, we would need reward prediction error, or state-value representation from the user's neural activity, which RL-BCI agent use to update its decoder. In order understand multifaceted effects of M1 investigated how spiking, oscillatory activities and their functional interactions are modulated by conditioned...
Although current standard bicycle helmets protect cyclists against linear acceleration, they still lack sufficient protection rotational acceleration during oblique impact events. Rotational is correlated with serious traumatic brain injuries such as acute subdural haematoma and thus should be minimized. This study proposes using highly anisotropic polyethersulfone foam for helmet liners in order to limit the acceleration. Helmet prototypes, made of cell anisotropy direction perpendicular...
