Cigarette Smoke Exposure Impairs Fracture Healing in a Rat Model: Preferential Impairment of Endochondral Over Membranous Healing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2024)Background: Cigarette smoking adversely affects fracture repair, causing delayed healing or nonunion rates twice those seen in nonsmokers. Purpose: We sought to investigate if cigarette smoke differentially affects ... -
Deformation Response of the Human Lamina Cribrosa to Intracranial Pressure Lowering
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2025)The optic nerve head (ONH) is subjected to both intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and intracranial pressure (ICP). The translaminar pressure difference (TLPD) is defined as the difference between IOP and ICP. A change in TLPD, ... -
Experiments and Simulations to Assess Exercise-Induced Pressure Drop Across Aortic Coarctations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2025)Blood pressure gradient (ΔP) across an aortic coarctation (CoA) is an important measurement to diagnose CoA severity and guide treatment. While invasive cardiac catheterization is the clinical gold-standard for measuring ... -
