The Potential of Event Data Recorders to Improve Impact Injury Assessment in Real World Crashes
… validate EDR data accuracy in full-frontal, side-impact moving deformable barrier, and small overlap crash tests; (2) evaluate EDR survivability beyond regulatory crash tests, (3) determine the seat belt accuracy of current databases, and (4) assess the merits of other vehicle-based crash severity …

Finite Element Analysis of an In Vitro Traumatic Joint Loading Model
… to musculoskeletal joints. An in vitro impact injury model that incorporated tangential loading was developed in our lab using intact porcine patellae to produce quantifiable degradation similar to that seen in early stage osteoarthritis. We carried out two separate sets of in vitro …

Quantification of Chondrocyte Death and Proteoglycan Content in Mechanically Impacted Articular Cartilage
Impact injuries can lead to cellular and matrix changes in articular cartilage, similar to those occurring in the pathenogenesis of secondary osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in cartilage following an impact injury as a model for early osteoarthritic degradation. …

The Expression and Cellular Localization of Cc-Chemokine Receptor 5 (Ccr5) After Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury results from a primary insult and secondary events that together result in tissue injury. This primary injury occurs at the moment of impact and damage can include scalp laceration, skull fraction, cerebral contusions and lacerations as well as intracranial hemorrhage. …

Preclinical Assessment of Immunocal® as a Preventative Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in a Mouse Model of Closed Head Injury
<p>Over the past three decades, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been considered a "silent epidemic" and recognized as an emergent public health problem by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). TBI is defined as a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of …

The Impact of Race and Related Factors on Movement Mechanics
… affecting the incidence of musculoskeletal injury and disease. Existing racial differences in movement mechanics could drive disease development and help identify factors contributing to racial health disparities. This study aimed to 1) Identify racial differences in walking, running, and …

Methods and algorithms for quantitative analysis of metallomic images to assess traumatic brain injury
… determine the link between traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) neuropathology, specifically looking into the role of blood-brain barrier disruption following TBI. In order to causally investigate the relationship between the tau protein …

Quantifying Field Variability Effects on Surface Performance and Athletes
… dead spot (SDS; Ophiosphaerella spp.) and winter injury are common on bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) athletic fields, yet limited research has evaluated how variability from these stressors affects field performance or safety. Existing literature often oversimplifies playing surfaces into …
