Nonparticipatory stiffness in the male perioral complex.

26 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to extend previous published findings in the authors' laboratory using a new automated technology to quantitatively characterize nonparticipatory perioral stiffness in healthy male adults. METHOD: ... Read more...

A biomechanical investigation of the anteromedial and posterolateral bands of the porcine anterior cruciate ligament.

30 Jul 2009 The bipartite nature of the porcine anterior cruciate ligament has been documented, but its biomechanics have not been investigated. The need for such knowledge has recently been heightened with xenografting advances such as the introduction of the ... Read more...

Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in endothelial cells exposed to physiological coronary wall shear stresses.

30 Jul 2009 Atherosclerosis is consistently found in bifurcations and curved segments of the circulatory system, indicating disturbed hemodynamics may participate in disease development. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that endothelial cells (ECs) alter ... Read more...
