Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Healthy and Defective Red Blood Cell Settling in Blood Plasma
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, an attempt has been made to study sedimentation of a red blood cell (RBC) in a plasmafilled tube numerically. Such behaviors are studied for a healthy and a defective cell which might be created due to human ...
Adjacent Level Hypermobility and Instrumented Level Fatigue Loosening With Titanium and PEEK Rods for a Pedicle Screw System: An In Vitro Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Adjacentlevel disease is a common iatrogenic complication seen among patients undergoing spinal fusion for low back pain. This is attributed to the postsurgical differences in stiffness between the spinal levels, which ...
Effect of Perturbing a Simulated Motion on Knee and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Kinetics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current surgical treatments for common knee injuries do not restore the normal biomechanics. Among other factors, the abnormal biomechanics increases the susceptibility to the early onset of ...
Team Based Development of Medical Devices: An Engineering–Business Collaborative
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a global shift in the teaching methodology of science and engineering toward multidisciplinary, teambased processes. To meet the demands of an evolving technical industry and lead the way in engineering education, ...
Reduced Biaxial Contractility in the Descending Thoracic Aorta of Fibulin 5 Deficient Mice
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The precise role of smooth muscle cell contractility in elastic arteries remains unclear, but accumulating evidence suggests that smooth muscle dysfunction plays an important role in the development of thoracic aortic ...
Remodeling of the Mandibular Bone Induced by Overdentures Supported by Different Numbers of Implants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the process of mandibular bone remodeling induced by implantsupported overdentures. computed tomography (CT) images were collected from edentulous patients to reconstruct the ...

Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As a means to highlight important advancements in Biomechanical Engineering, the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC), JBME has initiated a new annual special issue. The first part of ...
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering Update
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is my pleasure to inform the readership that the impact factor of JBME went up from 1.6 in 2010 to 1.9 in 2011. Submissions continue to substantially increase, with the 2011 total ...
Syrinx Fluid Transport: Modeling Pressure-Wave-Induced Flux Across the Spinal Pial Membrane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Syrinxes are fluid-filled cavities of the spinal cord that characterize syringomyelia, a disease involving neurological damage. Their formation and expansion is poorly understood, which has hindered ...
Partial Meniscectomy Changes Fluid Pressurization in Articular Cartilage in Human Knees
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Partial meniscectomy is believed to change the biomechanics of the knee joint through alterations in the contact of articular cartilages and menisci. Although fluid pressure plays an important ...
