Encapsulated OSB Energy Absorption Potential: A Preliminary Analysis by Daniel Silva de Mello Carvalho, Miguel Mattar Neto

“…This study demonstrates the application of material models where energy absorption is the main structural function. In this case, the orientation of the wood fibers became sensitive with an approximate difference of 10% more in the impact absorption potential, without considerable variation in the duration interval of the maximum deceleration.…”

Is the Hip Keeping the Ankle Out of Work after Total Ankle Arthroplasty? by Frank DiLiberto PT, PhD, Maxine Olson MS, Finola Summerville, Stacey Meardon PhD, PT, Anand Vora MD

“…Of note, postoperative ankle energy production (i.e. power, work) during gait is also deficient and related to lower gait speed and physical function scores. These findings raise questions regarding if people after TAA have the capacity to generate greater ankle energy or rely on proximal joint (e.g. hip) energy during walking and more challenging daily functional tasks. …”

Long-Term Management and Monitoring of the Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury in a Rodent Model by Michael Kleindorfer, Elena Esra Keller, Karin Roider, Evelyn Beyerer, Patrick Heimel, David Hercher, Martha Georgina Brandtner, Lukas Lusuardi, Ludwig Aigner, Sophina Bauer

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study that obtained a clinically relevant urodynamic dataset seamlessly from the acute to the chronic phase in rats with SCI. The ability to generate a complete data set from one single individual, rather than requiring multiple subjects, has the potential to markedly reduce the number of experimental animals, eliminate group differences, and give more flexibility for therapeutic intervention. …”

PM21-particle stimulation augmented with cytokines enhances NK cell expansion and confers memory-like characteristics with enhanced survival by Jeremiah L. Oyer, Tayler J. Croom-Perez, Md Faqrul Hasan, Javier A. Rivera-Huertas, Sarah B. Gitto, Joanna M. Mucha, Xiang Zhu, Deborah A. Altomare, Robert Y. Igarashi, Alicja J. Copik

“…Mechanistically, this significant improvement over expansion with PM21-particles alone was due to the upregulation of receptors for key stimulating ligands (4-1BBL and IL-2), resulting in a synergy that drives substantial NK cell growth, showcasing the potential for more effective therapeutic applications. The therapeutic potential of CAP-NK cells was demonstrated by the enhanced metabolic fitness, persistence, and anti-tumor function both in vitro and in vivo. …”
