The objective of this study was to quantitatively investigate the relationship between cerebral
atrophy and the risk of injury in elderly individuals. To achieve this, a sophisticated …

Understanding the damage and failure of load-carrying soft biological tissue is critical in the
effectual treatment of injury and disease. The difficulty in experimentally identifying the …

The survival and function of tissues depend on appropriate vascularization. Blood vessels of
the tissues supply oxygen, and nutrients and remove waste and byproducts. Incorporating …

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) resulting from head impacts are a major public health concern,
which prompted our research to investigate the complex relationship between the material …

Many previous studies on the mechanical properties of Parasagittal Bridging Veins (PSBVs)
found that strain rate had a significant effect on some mechanical properties, but did not …

Background It is well established that the probability of occurrence of acute subdural
hematomas in traumatic situations increases with age, since the main cause of such …

Objective. We aim to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of Polyether-Block-Amide (PEBA
90A), provide reference values for the parameters of a constitutive model for the simulation …

Worldwide, the ocurrence of acute subdural hematomas (ASDHs) in road traffic crashes is a
major public health problem. ASDHs are usually produced by loss of structural integrity of …

Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) is the mechanism that describes how the brain
maintains cerebral blood flow approximately constant in response to short‐term changes in …

Simple Summary Traumatic brain injuries, a primary global health concern, can lead to
severe disabilities. Acute subdural haematoma is one type of traumatic brain injury resulting …
