Tossing involves the simultaneous vertical and horizontal movement of objects but often results in bodily strain. This paper presents an optimization-based method for predicting 2D symmetric tossing motion without relying on experimental data. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

High-efficiency and high-quality sterilization can reduce iatrogenic infection. This study investigates synergistic effects of laser-induced periodic surface structures and ultrasonic cleaning on the removal of bacteria from medical material surfaces. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

DePuy ASR hip implants had a high cumulative percent revision. This study found serious problems in implant designing in the past and urged that biotribological risk for new implant designs must be examined rigorously before market release. doi.org/10.1177/095441… RIP John Medley

This work evaluated the cartilage thickness distribution precision needed for contact mechanics prediction in subject-specific FE models of the tibiofemoral joint by comparing model outputs to experimental measurements for three cadaveric specimens. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

Assessing the kinematics of the upper limbs is crucial for rehabilitation treatment for stroke survivors. This study aims to develop a novel algorithm using the MediaPipe framework to estimate five specific upper limb movements in stroke survivors. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

This paper created 3D FE models of Kitchon Root Controlled Auxiliary Archwire with different material properties and obtained the range of orthodontic torque/support force values, showing impact of material properties on mechanical property of Kitchon-RCAA doi.org/10.1177/095441…

Bone is a highly heterogeneous and anisotropic material with a hierarchical structure. The effect of diaphysis locations and directions of loading on elastic-plastic compressive properties of bovine femoral cortical bone was examined in this study. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

The use of ultrasound contrast agents for estimating portal pressure gains attention due to its clinical promise, yet variability in acoustic amplitude poses challenges. This paper introduces a novel FEA-based framework for portal pressure estimation. doi.org/10.1177/095441…
