RIS2023 Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference Student Paper Competition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Student Paper Competition (SPC) was held at the 2023 Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference (SB3C). As in past years, there are three competition levels: Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. levels, with ...
Biaxial Murine Vaginal Remodeling With Reproductive Aging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Higher reproductive age is associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and severe vaginal tearing during delivery. Further, menopause is associated with vaginal stiffening. However, the ...
Biaxial Mechanical Assessment of the Murine Vaginal Wall Using Extension–Inflation Testing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Progress toward understanding the underlying mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is limited, in part, due to a lack of information on the biomechanical properties and microstructural composition of the vaginal wall. ...
Effects of Elastase Digestion on the Murine Vaginal Wall Biaxial Mechanical Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although the underlying mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) remain unknown, disruption of elastic fiber metabolism within the vaginal wall extracellular matrix (ECM) has been highly implicated. It has been hypothesized ...
Investigation of Murine Vaginal Creep Response to Altered Mechanical Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The vagina is a viscoelastic fibromuscular organ that provides support to the pelvic organs. The viscoelastic properties of the vagina are understudied but may be critical for pelvic stability. Most studies evaluate vaginal ...
