Video Lecture Notes on Biomechanical Modelling of Bone & Cartillage

Learning Outcomes

1) To give insight into articular cartilage and bone biomechanics, structure and composition, and present imaging and mechanical testing techniques to characterize these properties.
2) To present basic principles of biomechanical modeling of tissues, especially articular cartilage and bone, and show state-of-the-art techniques and computational models of articular cartilage and bone.

Biomechanics of Rat Ovarian cells Charactercized

Researchers characterize biomechanics of ovarian cells in mice according to their phenotype at early, intermediate, and late-aggressive stages of cancer

Using ovarian surface epithelial cells from mice, researchers from Virginia Tech have released findings from a study that they believe will help in cancer risk assessment, cancer diagnosis, and treatment efficiency in a technical journal:Nanomedicine.

By studying the viscoelastic properties of the ovarian cells of mice, they were able to identify differences between early stages of ovarian cancer and more advanced and aggressive phenotypes.

Biomedical Innovation:Thoughts activate the prosthetic arm

Michal Prywata, left, and Thiago Caires have started a company called Bionik Laboratories Inc. to take the AMO Arm and other biomedical technologies to market.

A prosthetic arm controlled by its user’s thoughts, invented by two Toronto students, is competing for funding to take it to market.

The Artificial Muscle-Operated (AMO) Arm created by Ryerson University biomedical engineering students Michal Prywata and Thiago Caires has a headset that picks up electrical signals from the brain.

“When you think about a certain movement, the arm moves accordingly,” Prywata told CBC‘s As it Happens Monday.

Robotics Helps in curing Knee with Arthiritis

Biomedical engineers developed a robotic arm to very precisely resurface the knee before replacing it. In order to do this, a 3-D image of the knee is generated, providing a live-action view of the knee during surgery. A stereo camera system constantly updates surgeons on the location of the diseased portion of the knee–this keeps the healthy parts untouched. Visual alarms and artificial resistance tell the surgeons when they are too close to healthy parts. After the resurfacing is done, the implant is placed.
Virtual realityMore than 15 million Americans have osteoarthritis in their knees, and about 600,000 of them could be helped by a partial knee replacement. A new way to fix arthritic knees that uses robots and computers is helping patients walk out of the hospital the same day of surgery.Once an avid runner, Harvey Saff was surprised when he was sidelined with knee osteoarthritis.”It felt like a knife going right through me,” said Saff. “That’s the only description that can aptly describe it.”
