Clinical Relevance The use of an analgesic may help to reduce tooth sensitivity during in-office bleaching. Within the limitations this study, Ibuprofen (600 mg, PO single dose) reduced during, but not after treatment period.
Background Historical approaches to protect the brain from outside skull (eg, helmets and mouthpieces) have been ineffective in reducing internal injury that arises energy absorption during sports-related collisions. We aimed evaluate effects of a neck collar, which applies gentle bilateral jugular vein compression, resulting cerebral venous engorgement reduce head impact collision. Specifically, we investigated effect collar wearing exposure on microstructure integrity following competitive...
Abstract Prospective evidence indicates that functional biomechanics and brain connectivity may predispose an athlete to anterior cruciate ligament injury, revealing novel neural linkages for targeted neuromuscular training interventions. The purpose of this study was determine the efficacy a real‐time biofeedback system altering knee connectivity. Seventeen healthy, young, physically active female athletes completed 6 weeks augmented (aNMT) utilizing real‐time, interactive visual 13 served...
Youth athletes are believed to be more susceptible white matter (WM) degradation resulting from head impact exposure relative high school (HS) athletes; this hypothesis has not been objectively tested. The purpose of study was determine preseason postseason changes in WM integrity repetitive impacts for youth football (YFB) players compared with HS during a competitive season.Prospective cohort.One season YFB (grades 7 and 8) varsity 10-12).Twelve (13.08 ± 0.64 years) 21 (17.5 0.78...
To determine what effect seat back stiffness and other characteristics have on occupant responses, several seats were evaluated in dynamic Hyge rear impact sled simulations. The results of the tests indicate that stiffer do not any consistent advantages over yielding for complete range speeds tested. Even a with head restraint located closer to center gravity occupants did perform better than baseline seat. Throughout testing, most sensitive response design crash severity was lower neck...
The aim of the study was to examine prevalence primary peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma (PPSPC) as compared with ovarian cancer (OSPC), and clinicopathologic features frequency germline BRCA1 BRCA2 mutations in patients PPSPC those OSPC. group included 28 cases PPSPC. comparison 35 female OSPC, matched for stage, grade, histologic subtype. All tumors were staged either IIIB, IIIC or IV according FIGO criteria. patient characteristics, family personal history malignancies, BRCA...
The functional movement screen (FMS™) is used to identify asymmetries and deficiencies. While obesity has been reported impede movement, the correlation between body mass index (BMI), fat percentage (BF%), FMS™ in athletes unknown.To determine if there a relationship BMI, BF%, scores sample of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I football athletes.Cross-sectional study.Biodynamics laboratory.A total 38 male freshman players (18.0 [0.7] y, 185.3 [5.5] cm, 103.9 [20.3]...
The etiology of patellofemoral pain has remained elusive, potentially due to an incomplete understanding how pain, motor control, and kinesiophobia disrupt central nervous system functioning.To directly evaluate brain activity during experimental knee its relationship in patients with pain.Cross-sectional.Young females clinically diagnosed (n = 14; 14.4 [3.3] y; body mass index 22.4 [3.8]; height 1.61 [0.1] m; 58.4 [12.7] kg). A modified Clarke test (experimental condition noxious induction...
In an ongoing effort to develop accurate model of human head impact relationships, two series impacts were performed on the side a cadaver at junction temporal and parietal bones. When four sequential single embalmed specimen, good correspondence was found between peak acceleration Head Injury Criterion, adequacy instrument placement data analysis confirmed. Five individual unembalmed cadavers indicated that produced pressure gradients in brain. These superimposed proportional magnitudes...

A Novel mass-spring-damper model analysis to identify landing deficits in athletes returning sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. J Strength Cond Res 31(9): 2590-2598, 2017-A (MSD) may serve as an extension of biomechanical data from 3-dimensional motion epidemiological which helps delineate populations at risk for (ACL) injuries. The purpose this study was evaluate...
In an earlier series of papers, we reported on the results a study frontal impacts to cadaver heads which were protected and unprotected. New data is presented quantify head response laterally directed impacts. The temporo-parietal area in stationary unembalmed subjects was struck by rigid impactor mass. Both helmeted unhelmeted exposures compared. Data collected included energy, intracranial pressures at selected locations, composite analyses from nine accelerometer array system. addition...
The biological of spider legs inspired the development a biomimetic pneumatic actuator for robotic applications. concept is to straighten joint by pressurizing interior an exoskeleton inflate bellows-like flexible membrane. flexion initiated contraction McKibben-type muscle, which integrated in chamber. A detailed mathematical model operate these antagonistic actuators presented. Feasible torque and angle characteristics depending on input pressures are also presented control strategies discussed.
