In the first model, hemoglobin (Hb) release is described as a permeation procedure across the membrane, assuming a shear stress-dependent process (sublethal model). The second model only accounts for hemoglobin release that is caused by cell membrane breakdown, which occurs when red blood cells (RBC) undergo mechanically induced shearing for a period longer than the threshold time (nonuniform threshold model). In this paper, we introduce a model that considers the hemolysis generated by both these possible phenomena. Methods Since hemolysis can possibly be caused by permeation of hemoglobin through the RBC functional membrane as well as by release of hemoglobin from RBC membrane breakdown, our proposed model combines both these models. An experimental setup consisting of a Couette device was utilized for validation of our proposed model. Results A comparison is presented between the damage index (DI) predicted by the proposed model vs. the sublethal model vs. the nonthreshold model and experimental datasets. This comparison covers a wide range of shear stress for both human and porcine blood. An appropriate agreement between the measured DI and the DI predicted by the present model was obtained. Conclusions The semiempirical hemolysis model introduced in this paper aims for significantly enhanced conformity with experimental data. Two phenomenological outcomes become possible with the proposed approach: an estimation of the average time after which cell membrane breakdown occurs under the applied conditions, and a prediction of the ratio between the phenomena involved in hemolysis.}, language = {en} } @article{NiedermeyerZhouDursunetal.2016, author = {Niedermeyer, Angela and Zhou, Bei and Dursun, G{\"o}zde and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Markert, Bernd}, title = {An examination of tissue engineered scaffolds in a bioreactor}, series = {Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics PAMM}, volume = {16}, journal = {Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics PAMM}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1617-7061}, doi = {10.1002/pamm.201610038}, pages = {99 -- 100}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Replacement tissues, designed to fill in articular cartilage defects, should exhibit the same properties as the native material.

In this study, acellular cartilage replacement material is theoretically, numerically and experimentally investigated regarding its viscoelastic properties, where a phenomenological model for practical applications is developed.

The state of the literature did not permit a systematic review; therefore, we performed a narrative review. The majority of the available data come from cell or whole-disc loading models and animal exercise models. However, some studies have examined the impact of specific sports on IVD degeneration in humans and acute exercise on disc size. Based on the data available in the literature, loading types that are likely beneficial to the IVD are dynamic, axial, at slow to moderate movement speeds, and of a magnitude experienced in walking and jogging. Static loading, torsional loading, flexion with compression, rapid loading, high-impact loading and explosive tasks are likely detrimental for the IVD. Reduced physical activity and disuse appear to be detrimental for the IVD. We also consider the impact of genetics and the likelihood of a 'critical period' for the effect of exercise in IVD development. The current review summarises the literature to increase awareness amongst exercise, rehabilitation and ergonomic professionals regarding IVD health and provides recommendations on future directions in research.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JungStaat2016, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Computing olympic gold: Ski jumping as an example}, series = {1st YRA MedTech Symposium 2016 : April 8th / 2016 / University of Duisburg-Essen}, booktitle = {1st YRA MedTech Symposium 2016 : April 8th / 2016 / University of Duisburg-Essen}, editor = {Erni, Daniel}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-940402-06-6}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/40821}, pages = {54 -- 55}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DroszezSannoGoldmannetal.2016, author = {Droszez, Anna and Sanno, Maximilian and Goldmann, Jan-Peter and Albracht, Kirsten and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gerd-Peter and Braunstein, Bjoern}, title = {Differences between take-off behavior during vertical jumps and two artistic elements}, series = {34th International Conference of Biomechanics in Sport, Tsukuba, Japan, July 18-22, 2016}, booktitle = {34th International Conference of Biomechanics in Sport, Tsukuba, Japan, July 18-22, 2016}, issn = {1999-4168}, pages = {577 -- 580}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{WegmannHacklStaatetal.2016, author = {Wegmann, Kilian and Hackl, Michael and Staat, Manfred and Mayer, Katharina and M{\"u}ller, Lars-Peter}, title = {Double plate osteosynthesis of proximal ulna fractures: biomechanical and clinical results}, series = {Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy}, volume = {Volume 24}, journal = {Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy}, number = {Supplement 1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0942-2056}, doi = {10.1007/s00167-016-4079-0}, pages = {58 -- 59}, year = {2016}, abstract = {While plate fixation of proximal ulna fractures might lead to superior clinical results compared to tension band wiring, regular plates represent an established risk factor for wound complications.

From the obtained data is visible, that the given species of a plant is endemic. It is established, that dynamics of accumulation of lagochirzin in phytomass accrues from the beginning to the middle of the growing season. The chemical analysis of L.setulosus on a localization of lagochirzin in various organs of a plant, has shown, that the greatest quantity of lagochirzin collects in calyx lobes of the plants. Also it is established, that L.setulosus can be cultivated in the conditions of the typical sierozem, a mineral food is necessary for the given species of plants of Lagochilus genus, except nitric fertilizers. Comparative studying of wild-growing and cultural forms of L.setulosus has shown, that in the cultivated phytomass of plants the maintenance of lagochirzin on 17-20 \% higher than in the wild-growing species.}, language = {en} }
