A meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of hounsfield units on computed topography relative to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in the spine surgery population.
(2021)Background: The preoperative identification of osteoporosis in the spine surgery population is of crucial importance. Limitations associated with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, such as access and reliability, have ... -
Estrogen withdrawal alters cytoskeletal and primary ciliary dynamics resulting in increased Hedgehog and osteoclastogenic paracrine signalling in osteocytes.
(2021)Estrogen deficiency during post-menopausal osteoporosis leads to osteoclastogenesis and bone loss. Increased pro-osteoclastogenic signalling (RANKL/OPG) by osteocytes occurs following estrogen withdrawal (EW) and is ... -
Mechanical and fatigue properties of diamond-reinforced Cu and Al metal matrix composites prepared by cold spray
(2021)Diamond-reinforced composites prepared by cold spray are emerging materials simultaneously featuring outstanding thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Their mechanical and fatigue properties relevant ... -
Strengthening mechanism of additively manufactured cold spray Al deposits under low deposition efficiency
(2021)In this study, a novel strategy to manufacture high strength cold-sprayed Al coating by using powder with wide size distribution is proposed. The microstructure and mechanical properties of deposited ... -
Influence of Mechanical Environment on Limbal and Corneal Epithelial Cells
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2021)Corneal blindness is the 4th leading cause of blindness and the most transplanted tissue worldwide. Severe donor shortages and immune rejection has led to research into alternative therapies for corneal transplantation. ... -
Resident macrophages and their potential in cardiac tissue engineering
(2021)Many facets of tissue engineered models aim to understand cellular mechanisms to recapitulate in vivo behavior, study and mimic diseases for drug interventions and to provide better understanding towards improving regenerative ... -
Natural convection from a triangular array of isothermal horizontal cylinders
(2021)Natural convection heat transfer from three isothermally heated horizontal cylinders submerged in water in a triangular arrangement is investigated. Two configurations, named here as one over two and two over one, are ... -
Effect of moisture condensation on vapour transmission through porous membranes
(2021)Porous membranes find natural application in various fields and industries. Water condensation on membranes can block pores, reduce vapour transmissibility, and diminish the porous membranes' performance. This research ... -
A review of heat pipe technology for foldable electronic devices
(2021)The advent of foldable and wearable devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold (2019) and Huawei Mate X (2019), require increased battery size and processor performance to drive their larger flexible displays. There is a ... -
A graph-theory approach to optimisation of an acoustic absorber targeting a specific noise spectrum that approaches the causal optimum minimum depth
(2021)Equivalent circuit analysis is a powerful tool for analysing acoustic systems where a lumped element model is valid. These equivalent circuits allow an overall impedance of the structure to be estimated which facilitates ... -
Decellularization and recellularization of cornea: Progress towards a donor alternative.
(2020)The global shortage of donor corneas for transplantation has led to corneal bioengineering being investigated as a method to generate transplantable tissues. Decellularized corneas are among the most promising materials ... -
Electronics Thermal Management in Information and Communications Technologies: Challenges and Future Directions
(2017)This paper reviews thermal management challenges encountered in a wide range of electronics cooling applications from large-scale (data center and telecommunication) to small-scale systems (personal, portable/wearable, and ... -
Experimental study of realistic low noise technologies applied to a full scale nose landing gear
(2021)The landing gear system is the dominant airframe noise source for most modern commercial aircraft during approach. This manuscript reports the results from the ALLEGRA (Advanced Low Noise Landing (Main and Nose) Gear for ... -
Investigation into the collagen fibre-mediated fatigue mechanics of bovine pericardium for use in bioprosthetic heart valves
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2021)Bioprosthetic heart valve replacements have long been associated with inadequate durability in vivo, owing primarily to mechanical damage and calcification of the glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardial leaflets (GLBP). ... -
Fabrication and biocompatibility of electroconductive silk fibroin/pedot: Pss composites for corneal epithelial regeneration
(2020)The aim of this study was to develop matrices that can support human corneal epithelial cells and innervation by incorporating a conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), ... -
Retinoic Acid Enhances the Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells to Keratocytes In Vitro.
(2017)Purpose: All-trans retinoic acid (RA) supplementation was investigated as a method of enhancing the differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) to corneal keratocytes in vitro, in combination with a chemically ... -
Dextran Preserves Native Corneal Structure During Decellularization.
(2016)Corneal decellularization has become an increasingly popular technique for generating scaffolds for corneal regeneration. Most decellularization procedures result in tissue swelling, thus limiting their application. Here, ... -
Silk fibroin safety in the eye: A review that highlights a concern
(2020)The biomedical use of silk as a suture dates back to antiquity. Fibroin is the structural element that determines the strength of silk and here we consider the safety of fibroin in its role in ophthalmology. The high ... -
Exploring the Applicability of Robot-Assisted UV Disinfection in Radiology
(2021)The importance of infection control procedures in hospital radiology departments has become increasingly apparent in recent months as the impact of COVID-19 has spread across the world. Existing disinfectant procedures ... -
