The segmentation of lesions in Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (msTBI) presents a significant challenge in neuroimaging due to the diverse characteristics of these lesions, which vary in size, shape, and distribution across brain…
Wearable sensors for measuring head kinematics can be noisy due to imperfect interfaces with the body. Mouthguards are used to measure head kinematics during impacts in traumatic brain injury (TBI) studies, but deviations from reference…
The trajectory of an individual's recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is heterogeneous, with complete recovery in some cases but persistent disability in others. We hypothesized that changes in structural brain network abnormalities…
We determine how MRI-turbulent stresses depend on gas pressure via a suite of unstratified shearing box simulations. Earlier numerical work reported only a very weak dependence at best, results that call into question the canonical…
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major contributor to mortality among older adults, with geriatric patients facing disproportionately high risk due to age-related physiological vulnerability and comorbidities. Early and accurate prediction…
Finite element models of the thorax are under development to assist vehicle safety researchers with the design of countermeasures such as advanced restrain systems. Computational models have become more refined with increasing geometrical…
Compression experiments are widely used to study the mechanical properties of materials at micro- and nanoscale. However, the conventional engineering stress measurement method used in these experiments neglects to account for the…
Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a life-long complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is a major public health problem that has an estimated incidence that ranges from 2%-50%, depending on the severity of the TBI. Currently, the…
The Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) database is a centralized data repository for traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. It includes over 45,529 magnetic resonance images (MRI) from 6,211 subjects (9,229 imaging…
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) presents a broad spectrum of clinical presentations and outcomes due to its inherent heterogeneity, leading to diverse recovery trajectories and varied therapeutic responses. While many studies have delved into…
Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients poses a significant mortality risk and imposes a considerable financial burden on patients and healthcare systems. Timely detection and…
Strain and strain rate are effective traumatic brain injury predictors. Kinematics-based models estimating these metrics suffer from significant different distributions of both kinematics and the injury metrics across head impact types. To…
The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury are simulated at…
Aim: This in silico study sought to identify specific biomarkers for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) through the analysis of publicly available gene and miRNA databases, hypothesizing their influence on neuronal structure, axonal…
Compression stiffening, or an increase in shear modulus with increasing compressive strain, has been observed in recent rheometry experiments on brain, liver, and fat tissues. Here, we extend the known types of biomaterials exhibiting this…
Existing methods to characterise the evolving condition of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) do not capture the context necessary for individualising treatment. Here, we integrate all heterogenous data…
Both animal and plant tissue exhibit a nonlinear rheological phenomenon known as compression stiffening, or an increase in moduli with increasing uniaxial compressive strain. Does such a phenomenon exist in single cells, which are the…
The stress-strain relationship of biological soft tissues affected by Marfan's syndrome is believed to be non-convex. More specifically, Haughton and Merodio recently proposed a strain-energy density leading to localized strain softening,…
The identification and segmentation of moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) lesions pose a significant challenge in neuroimaging. This difficulty arises from the extreme heterogeneity of these lesions, which vary in size, number,…
The effect of tensile stress on magnetoimpedance (MI) in CoMnSiB amorphous wires at microwave frequencies (0.5-3 GHz) is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In the presence of the dc bias magnetic field of the order of the…
