Advances in Musculoskeletal Modeling and their Application to Neurorehabilita…
Neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) modeling has the potential to serve as a valuable tool for informing the design of assistive devices or neurorehabilitation interventions. For these applications, an NMS model must be able to represent the relevant unique characteristics of the targeted subject, e.g., a person with a neurological disorder. Motion predictive simulations, by considering the task con…

Advances in Musculoskeletal Imaging and Their Applications
Antegrade intramedullary (IM) nailing is the gold standard treatment for femoral shaft fractures; however, the non-union rate of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures is still high after antegrade IM nailing. This retrospective case–control study aimed to determine the association between perioperative radiographic factors and the non-union of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures after an…

Advances in Multiscale and Multifield Solid Material Interfaces
A mathematical model employing the concept of energy-equivalent inhomogeneity is applied to analyze short cylindrical fiber composites with interfaces described by the Steigmann–Ogden material surface model. Real inhomogeneity consists of a cylindrical fiber of finite length, and its surface possessing different properties is replaced by a homogeneous, energy-equivalent cylinder. The prop…

Advances in Multi-Scale Analysis of Brain Complexity
In neuroscience, a defining but elusive question regarding the human brain is its astonishingly structural and functional complexity. This complexity arises from the interaction of numerous neuronal circuits that operate over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, enabling the brain to adapt to the constantly changing environment and to perform various high-level mental functions. Suc…

Pioglitazone has been reported in the literature to have a substantial role in the improvement of overall cognition in a mouse model. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to determine the most efficacious route for the administration of Pioglitazone nanoparticles (PGZ-NPs) in order to promote drug delivery to the brain for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. PGZ-loaded NPs were …
