Background Five randomized controlled trials recently appeared in the literature demonstrating
that early mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke is significantly …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Individual rupture risk assessment of intracranial aneurysms
is a major issue in the clinical management of asymptomatic aneurysms. Aneurysm …

Experimental uniaxial tensile tests have been carried out on annulus tissue samples harvested
on pig and lamb lumbar intervertebral discs. When subjecting the samples to loading …

The quality of the fixation orthopaedic implant to its surrounding bone determines its clinical
longevity. Up to 20% of hip replacement operations are currently revisions for aseptic …

This study is a step towards a new biomechanical-based measurement of the patient specific
risk of rupture of cerebral aneurysms. Following a previous experimental investigation …

… E → d Ω 0 . Introducing the gradient matrix B which contains the spatial derivatives of the …
The influence of this volume correction procedure on the output parameters D and θ / π is …

Study Design. We implemented a pilot study in a growing animal model. The macroscopic
permeability of the vertebral endplates was measured. The influence of location, tissue …

Our aim is to estimate regional mechanical properties of the annulus fibrosus (AF) using a
multi-relaxation tensile test and to examine the relevance of using the transverse dilatations in …

The prevalence of diseases that affect the articular cartilage is increasing due to population
ageing, but the current treatments are only palliative. One innovative approach to repair …

We present a multi-scale experimental approach designed to improve the investigation of
both localized and global fluid flow in biomaterials with randomly interconnected porosity. …
