The results of this study provide the first evidence that two completely separate vaccine
approaches, one based on a subunit vaccine consisting of a mild adjuvant admixed with purified …

The purpose of this study is to describe the kinematics of normal knees in vivo, assessed in
deep flexion, using bi-planar radiographs. Antero-posterior and lateral views were obtained …

As a paradigm for chronic infectious diseases, tuberculosis exhibits a variety of clinical
presentations, ranging from primary pulmonary tuberculosis to reactivation tuberculosis and …

Study Design. A biomechanical testing protocol was used to study different lumbo-pelvic
fixation techniques in a human cadaveric lumbar spine model. Objective. To compare the in …

OBJECTIVE Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) has emerged as a popular method for
lumbar fusion. In this study the authors aimed to quantify the biomechanical stability of an …

The in situ measurement of water flow and chemical transport through clay pan soils is crucial
to understanding potential water contamination from agricultural sources. It is important …

Background Physical data are lacking on nutrient transport in human intervertebral discs (IVDs),
which support regeneration. Our objective was to study nutrient transport in porcine …

Angled screw insertion has been advocated to enhance fixation strength during posterior
spine fixation. Stresses on a pedicle screw and surrounding vertebral bone with different screw …

Background Context Rod fracture at the lumbosacral (LS) junction remains challenging in
long segment fusions and likely stems from increased LS strain. Reduction of LS …

Robotic methods applied to in-vitro biomechanical testing potentially offer more comprehensive
evaluations however, standard position control algorithms make real-time load control …
