DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A THORAX SURROGATE FE MODEL FOR ASSESSMENT OF TRAUMA DUE TO HIGH SPEED BLUNT IMPACTS

Development and validation of a thorax surrogate FE model for assessment of trauma due to high speed blunt impacts

Without being able to evaluate blunt thoracic trauma in terms Knitwear of an acceptable injury criterion, it is not possible to develop or validate non-lethal projectiles, bullet proof vests and chest protectors for sports personnel etc.In order for the assessment of the blunt trauma caused by high speed projectiles, a novel design of a mechanical

Dual specificity phosphatase 6 deficiency is associated with impaired systemic glucose tolerance and reversible weight retardation in mice.

Here, we aimed to investigate the potential role of DUSP6, a dual specificity phosphatase, that specifically inactivates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), for the regulation of body weight and glucose homeostasis.We further assessed whether metabolic challenges affect Dusp6 expression in selected brain areas or white adipose tissue.Hypot
