Dynamic response analysis of mechanical structures is usually performed by adopting numerical/analytical models.Finite element (FE) modeling as a numerical approach plays an important role in dynamic response analysis of complex structures.The calculated dynamic responses from FE analysis are only reliable if accurate FE models are used.There are m
Biomechanical Effects of Different Sitting Postures and Physiologic Movements on the Lumbar Spine: A Finite Element Study
This study used the finite element method(FEM) to investigate how pressure on the lumbar spine changes during dynamic movements in different postures: standing, erect sitting on a chair, slumped sitting on a chair, and sitting on the floor.Three load modes (flexion, lateral bending, and axial rotation) were applied to the FEM, simulating movements
Acute lung injury after platelet transfusion in a patient with dengue fever
Transfusion-related elbeco adu ripstop pants acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious clinical syndrome associated with the transfusion of plasmacontaining blood components.Recently, TRALI has come to be recognized as the leading cause of transfusion-related mortality.This complication typically presents as shortness of breath, hypoxemia, hypotension
Resting-state functional MRI of the visual system for characterization of optic neuropathy
Optic neuropathy refers to disease of the optic nerve and can result in loss of visual acuity and/or visual field defects.Combining findings from multiple fMRI modalities can offer valuable information for characterizing and managing optic neuropathies.In this article, we review a subset of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fM
