No difference in 13-year survival after medial pivot or central pivot mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty. A propensity matched comparative analysis
Purpose The present study was designed to evaluate the long-term results (more than 10 years) of mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to compare the survival of medial pivot axis (MPA) and central pivot axis (CPA) TKAs. The primary hypothesis w ...
2020Ventricle Equilibrium Position in Healthy and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Brains Using an Analytical Model
Jean-Marie Drezet, Bryn Andrew Martin, Kamal Shahim
The driving force that causes enlargement of the ventricles remains unclear in case of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Both healthy and NPH brain conditions are characterized by a low transparenchymal pressure drop, typically 1 mm Hg. The present pape ...
2012Finite element analysis of normal pressure hydrocephalus: influence of CSF content and anisotropy in permeability
Jean-François Molinari, Jean-Marie Drezet, Kamal Shahim
Hydrocephalus is a cerebral disease where brain ventricles enlarge and compress the brain parenchyma towards the skull leading to symptoms like dementia, walking disorder and incontinence. The origin of normal pressure hydrocephalus is still obscure. In or ...
Taylor & Francis2010Optimization of the treatment of hydrocephalus by the non-invasive measurement of the intra-cranial pressure
This thesis work aims to optimize the treatment of hydrocephalus. It consists of two distinct objectives: the optimization of the diagnosis of patients implanted with a shunt system for the derivation of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) and the optimization of t ...
EPFL2007A combined RSA and FE study of the implanted proximal tibia: correlation of the post-operative mechanical environment with implant migration
There is strong evidence to suggest that inducible displacements, migration and implant loosening are closely related to the initial mechanical environment of the implanted tibia. If this is true, then it should be possible to predict the likelihood of imp ...
2004Cre-mediated gene inactivation demonstrates that FGF8 is required for cell survival and patterning of the first branchial arch
In mammals, the first branchial arch (BA1) develops into a number of craniofacial skeletal elements including the jaws and teeth. Outgrowth and patterning of BA1 during early embryogenesis is thought to be controlled by signals from its covering ectoderm. ...
