An Approach To Identifying The Biomechanical Differences Between Intercostal Cartilage In Subjects With Pectus Excavatum And Normals In Vivo: Reconstruction And Ct Registration, Zhenzhen Yan
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Pectus excavatum (PE) is a congenital chest wall deformity affecting the ribs and sternum and exhibiting a concave appearance in the anterior chest wall. In this thesis, we describe a study to investigate in vivo differences in the pectus excavatum rib cage and outline steps using normals and pectus patients data in developing models and methods to be used in carrying out the study. We propose methods to develop reconstructed models in order to enable proper registration between data collection points (DCPs) on the 3D CT rib cage model and CT skin surface model and registration between CT surrogate models …

This study examined the efficacy of two different resistance training programs in enhancing bone modeling and bone mineral density (BMD) in maturating rats. One exercise mode involved lifting a lighter weight with more repetitions (LI), while the other regimen involved lifting a heavier weight with fewer repetitions (HI) where the total volume of work between exercise programs was equivalent by design. Twenty-three male rats were randomly divided into control (Con, n = 8), LI (n = 7), and HI (n = 8) groups. The LI and HI groups were conditioned to climb a vertical ladder with weights appended to their …

This study compared a resistance training program where the exercise was uninterrupted (UT, i.e., continuous repetitions) against a resistance training program where the exercise was interrupted (IT, i.e., 3 exercise sessions during a training day) for enhancing bone modeling and bone mineral density (BMD) in maturating animals. The total volume of work performed between the two resistance training programs was equivalent by design. 24 young male rats were randomly divided into Control (Con, n = 8), UT (n = 8) and IT (n=8) resistance trained groups. The UT and IT groups were conditioned to climb a vertical ladder with weights …
