The variation in the dimensions of the lumbar spinal canal under both flexion-extension and axial compression-distraction was studied using computerized tomography (CT) scans in human cadaver lumbar spine specimens. In 3-mm-thick CT slices through the disk at L,-L,, the cross-sectional area of the s

Exacerbation of left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation has been attributed to left atrial mechanical dysfunction induced by the procedure ("atrial stunning"). An in vitro model was devised to determine whether electrically induced changes in blood prop
## Abstract Changes in mechanical properties of bone cements over time are of clinical importance, but not well documented. Specifications for testing do not address the time factor. This study recorded changes in compressive properties and microstructure of one bone cement stored under simulated p
