A Computational Pipeline for Patient-Specific Prediction of the Postoperative Mitral Valve Functional State
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 8/2/2023 1)While mitral valve (MV) repair remains the preferred clinical option for mitral regurgitation (MR) treatment, long-term outcomes remain suboptimal and difficult to predict. Furthermore, pre-operative optimization is ... -
Biomechanical Evaluation of an Adaptive-Motion Pedicle Screw Fixation System: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 8/2/2023 1)Rigid fixation is mostly used in thoracolumbar spine surgery, which restricts the thoracolumbar spine segments moving and is not conducive to postoperative rehabilitation. We developed an adaptive-motion pedicle screw and ... -
Developing a Biomechanical Testing Setup of the Pelvis—Part I: Computational Design of Experiments

Framework Development for Patient-Specific Compliant Aortic Dissection Phantom Model Fabrication: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Validation and Deep-Learning Segmentation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 6/13/2023 )Type B aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical emergency that can result in rupture of the aorta. Due to the complexity of patient-specific characteristics, only limited information on flow patterns in dissected ... -
In Silico Mechanical Effort Analysis of the All-On-4 Design Performed With Platform-Switching Distal Short Dental Implants
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/31/2023 )Short dental implants with platform matching connection have been used for the rehabilitation of atrophic jaws whenever standard-length dental implants cannot be placed without prior bone augmentation. Yet, there remains ... -
Effect of Internal Mechanical Environment of Porous Scaffolds on Mechano-driven Bone Ingrowth: A Numerical Study
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/31/2023 )Porous cages with lower global stiffness induce more bone ingrowth and enhance bone-implant anchorage. However, it's dangerous for spinal fusion cages, which usually act as stabilizers, to sacrifice global stiffness for ... -
A Rate-Dependent Cell Microinjection Model Based on Membrane Theory
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )As an effective method to deliver external materials into biological cells, microinjection has been widely applied in the biomedical field. However, the knowledge of cell mechanical property is still inadequate, which ... -
Deformation and Durability of Soft Three-Dimensional-Printed Polycarbonate Urethane Porous Membranes for Potential Use in Pelvic Organ Prolapse
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the herniation of the pelvic organs into the vaginal space, resulting in the feeling of a bulge and organ dysfunction. Treatment of POP often involves repositioning the organs using a ... -
Neurophysiological Effects of Repeated Soccer Heading in Youth
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )Repeated head loading in sports is associated with negative long-term brain health, and there is growing evidence of short-term neurophysiological changes after repeated soccer heading. The objective of this study was to ... -
Non-Contact Irreversible Electroporation in the Esophagus With a Wet Electrode Approach
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )Our objective was to develop a technique for performing irreversible electroporation (IRE) of esophageal tumors while mitigating thermal damage to the healthy lumen wall. We investigated noncontact IRE using a wet electrode ... -

(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )Preclinical evaluation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components is essential to understanding their mechanical behavior and developing strategies for improving joint stability. While preclinical testing of TKA components ... -
The Influence of Fiber Orientation of the Conus Elasticus in Vocal Fold Modeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )While the conus elasticus is generally considered a part of continuation of the vocal ligament, histological studies have revealed different fiber orientations that fibers are primarily aligned in the superior-inferior ... -
Biomechanical Response of Cancer Stem Cells to Low-Intensity Ultrasound
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )The presence of stem cells in cancer may increase the chances of drug resistance and invasiveness. Low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can regulate the biological and mechanical properties of cells and participate in cellular ... -
How to Build Your Mentoring Tree—Insight Gained From a 36-Year Career in Biomedical Engineering
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/22/2023 )Mentoring is often viewed as a unidirectional relationship, with the senior, more seasoned individual imparting knowledge, guidance, and experience to more junior individuals. But this structure limits our ability to ... -
Overload in a Rat In Vivo Model of Synergist Ablation Induces Tendon Multiscale Structural and Functional Degeneration
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 6/16/2023 )Tendon degeneration is typically described as an overuse injury with little distinction made between magnitude of load (overload) and number of cycles (overuse). Further, in vivo, animal models of tendon degeneration are ... -
