Modeling the soft tissues of the knee joint
Computational modeling of the knee helps us better understand the forces and strains placed on knee structures, such as the ligaments and cartilage, during ambulatory activities. With better understanding of ligament strains and cartilage pressures during different loading situations, we are able …

The Soft Tissues in Osteoarthritis and Arthroplasty of the Hip
… fluid might be contributing factors. Posterior soft tissue repair was suggested to reduce the dislocation rate and decrease the volume of postoperative fluid in the THA hip. THA patients with or without posterior soft tissue repair were analyzed. To evaluate postoperative capsular distension, …

The mechanisms and timing of mineralization of fossil phosphatized soft tissues
Fossil phosphatized soft tissues offer palaeontologists a unique opportunity to examine the biology and physiology of extinct organisms at the cellular and even macromolecular level. All phosphatized soft tissues are preserved by one or more of three preservational styles. These are: 1) …

Mechanical behavior of tissue simulants and soft tissues under extreme loading conditions
… compliant materials such as gels and soft tissues, particularly for small sample volumes. One goal of such developments is to quantitatively predict and mimic tissue deformation due to high rate impact events typical of industrial accidents and ballistic insults. This aim requires …

Multiscale models for the degradation, damage, and failure of collagen-based soft tissues
… for the deformation, degradation, and failure of soft tissues can inform the work of tissue engineers, clinicians who treat soft tissue injuries, and biologists who study the growth and development of soft tissues. Increasingly, mechanical models for tissues that couple multiple length scales …

EXPLORATION OF STRONTIUM UPTAKE BY BONE AND SOFT TISSUES USING STABLE ISOTOPE TECHNIQUES
Strontium, like calcium, is a bone-seeking element present in our diet. Both elements have similar chemical and physiological properties. High doses of strontium are known to reduce fracture risk. A tracer study in sheep revealed that bone-seeking tracers (Ca-41 and Sr-86) are incorporated into the …

Probing the role of clay minerals in the preservation of organics and soft tissues
… two morphotypes of erniettomorph fossils (soft-bodied Ediacaran organism with unknown phylogenetic placement) preserved in a clay-rich siliciclastic deposit from the Woods Canyon Formation in Nevada. From the data collected to characterize both morphotypes, we concluded that the clay …

A Histopathological Review of Immune Response in Largemouth Bass to Parasitic Infections of Soft Tissues
<p>The immune response can serve as a key indicator of a fish’s overall health and the effect stressors have on the health of the fish. Anthropogenic factors can stress a fish’s immune system and inhibit immune responses. This study investigated the response of eosinophilic cells and macrophage …

Reconstructing Soft Tissues of Plio-Pleistocene Hominids using Comparative Anatomy of Modern Humans & Great Apes
… reliable methods for approximating the facial soft tissues of Plio-Pleistocene hominids. This was accomplished by identifying bone and soft tissue covariation patterns in the head of primates, including modern humans, and applying these relationships to Plio-Pleistocene hominid skulls. The …

Design, build and test of a planar biaxial tensile testing machine for skin and other collagenous soft tissues
… the mechanical properties of skin and other soft membrane tissue. The focus of this project was the design and construction of a planar biaxial tensile testing machine, suitable for ultimately testing skin and other soft membrane tissues. The mechanical properties of skin and other …

Taphonomic studies of fossil preservation in coarse-grained siliciclastic environments
… fossils and textures as well as the fossils of soft-bodied organisms. The rarity of similar fossils and textures in coarse-grained siliciclastic strata of the later Phanerozoic suggests that a taphonomic window facilitated this mode of fossil preservation. However, environmental and biological …

The role of microarchitecture in the tensile properties of polymer scaffolds
Soft tissues are one of the human body’s main components. Their constant communication and movements makes their mechanical properties very important to human health. However, soft tissues have complex mechanical characteristics: they undergo large deformations and have non-linear stress-strain …

Coupled theoretical and experimental methods to characterize heterogeneous, anisotropic, nonlinear materials: application to cardiovascular tissues
… particularly in the case of cardiovascular soft tissues, which exhibit markedly nonlinear behavior when operating at physiologic strain levels. Therefore, GAIM was extended to consider large-deformation kinematics, a nonlinear closed-form structural model of planar fibrous tissue mechanics …
