  1. 1. 3D Finite Element Modeling of Cervical Musculature and its Effect on Neck Injury Prevention

    Författare :Sofia Hedenstierna; Hans von Holst; Peter Halldin; Jac Wismans; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Finite Element; Cervical Musculature; Neck injury prediction; Continuum Mechanics; Solid Elements; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Injuries to the head and neck are potentially the most severe injuries in humans, since they may damage the nervous system. In accidents, the cervical musculature stabilizes the neck in order to prevent injury to the spinal column and is also a potential site for acute muscle strain, resulting in neck pain. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Lung mechanics and airway inflammation in murine models of asthma

    Sammanfattning : Allergic asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways and is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and increased airway reactivity. In the studies presented in this thesis, lung mechanics and measurements of airway reactivity were assessed in anaesthetized tracheostomized mice by using an animal ventilator (flexiVent®). LÄS MER
