  1. 1. Investigation of Injury Predictors for Rat Neuro Trauma

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Rosetta Maglio; [2024]
    Keywords : Finite element method; Rat brain traumatic brain injury; Rat brain finite element model; Strain; Strain rate; Product of strain and strain rate; Rotational direction; Rotational duration; Injury prediction; Finita elementmetoden; Råtthjärnans finita elementmodell; Belastning; Belastningshastighet; Produkten av belastning och belastningshastighet; Rotationsriktning; Rotationstid; Skadeförutsägelse;

    Abstract : A traumatic brain injury is usually caused by a direct impact to the head and is a common cause of disability and death all around the world. The most effective method to predict brain injury today, is to use a finite element head model. READ MORE

  3. 2. Localisation of Traumatic Brain Injury

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Yogesh Sharma; MIchael Zewde Hägglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Traumatic Brain Injury TBI ; Rat brain; Finite Element Method FEM ; strain; localisation; thalamus; hypothalamus; neocortex; Traumatisk hjärnskada TBI ; Råtthjärna; Finita Element Metod FEM ; belastning; lokalisering; thalamus; hypotalamus; neocortex;

    Abstract : TBI stands for Traumatic Brain Injury and refers to damage to the brain resulting from an external physical force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Common causes of TBI include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and violence and has been linked to thousands of deaths and injuries in the US and the EU alike. READ MORE

  4. 3. Head impact detection with sensor fusion and machine learning

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Aron Strandberg; [2022]
    Keywords : head impact detection; sensor fusion; 3D; machine learning; support vector machine; random forests;

    Abstract : Head injury is common in many different sports and elsewhere, and is often associated with differentdifficulties. One major problem is to identify and value the injury or the severity. Sometimes there is no sign of head injury, but a serious neck distortion has occurred, causing similar symptoms as head injuries e.g. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hemocytes and neural injury in freshwater crayfish : Does the melanization reaction matter?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Melanization; neural injury; freshwater crayfish; Melanisering; nervskada; sötvattenskräfta;

    Abstract : Neurogenesis primarily occurs during embryonic development in decapod crustaceans, ending when the embryonic precursor cells die. However, areas in the central olfactory pathway are exceptions to this. Here, neurons are produced throughout the animal’s life from precursor cells in the neurogenic niche. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of Head Kinematics in Ice Hockey

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : David Pogosian; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice hockey; Video analysis; MPS; THUMS; Concussion; Head kinematics; Finite Element analysis; Ishockey; Videoanalys; MPS; THUMS; Hjärnskakning; Huvudkinematik; Finita element metoden;

    Abstract : Ice hockey has been identified as a sport with a high risk for concussions due to it being highly physical. Improvements have been made over the years to improve the protective gear for the players effectively eliminating more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) however mild concussions (mTBI) are still prevalent to this day.
