1. Human Body Model Morphing for Assessment of Crash Rib Fracture Risk for the Population of Car Occupants
Abstract : Fractured ribs are prevalent injury outcomes for vehicle occupants involved in crashes. Sex, age, and anthropometry of an occupant influences the risk to sustain rib fractures. READ MORE

2. Thoracic injuries in frontal car crashes: risk assessment using a finite element human body model
Abstract : Accident data show that there is a clear need to improve the protection to occupants’ thorax in frontal car crashes. For this purpose, models that can predict the risk of injuries and assess the occupant protection offered by different restraint systems are needed. READ MORE

3. Stochastic finite element simulations of real life frontal crashes : With emphasis on chest injury mechanisms in near-side oblique loading conditions
Abstract : Introduction. Road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29. Of individuals killed or injured in road traffic injuries, a large group comprises occupants sustaining a thorax injury in frontal crashes. The elderly are particularly at risk, as they are more fragile. READ MORE

4. Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy
Abstract : In hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), the treatment is delivered by few fractions with high doses per fraction. This is in contrast to conventionally fractionated RT where the total dose is delivered in many fractions with low doses per fraction. READ MORE

5. Safety with Mechanical Chest Compressions in CPR : Clinical studies with the LUCAS™ device
Abstract : Chest compressions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation are of utmost importance although not without a risk. Many injuries are described but the incidence of these is hard to define due to methodological differences. It is strenuous to perform chest compressions and therefore mechanical chest compressions have been looked upon with interest. READ MORE
