   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major health and socioeconomic problem throughout the world, with an estimated 10 million deaths and instances of hospitalization annually. Numerical methods such as finite element (FE) methods can be used to study head injuries and optimize the protection, which can lead to a decrease in the number of injuries. LÄS MER

4. 3. Bicycle trauma and it‘s consequences

   Författare :Evelyne Zibung Hofmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
