Brake response time before and after total knee arthroplasty: Tracking Possible Effects of the Surgery Technique on Motor Performance - Report of Two Cases Vrije Universiteit Brussel
After total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients often ask when they can resume car driving. This question was the aim of some studies in the past, however no study was found on the possible effects of different surgery techniques on brake response time (BRT). A randomized controlled trial on the effects of two surgery techniques (minimally invasive vs. standard approach) on BRT was designed. In this paper the motor performance of two female ...
Characterization of the long-term effects of lethal total body irradiation followed by bone marrow transplantation on the brain of C57BL/6 mice Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE: Total body irradiation (TBI) followed by bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is used in pre-clinical research to generate mouse chimeras that allow to study the function of a protein specifically on immune cells. Adverse consequences of irradiation on the juvenile body and brain are well described and include general fatigue, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. Yet, the long-term consequences of TBI/BMT ...
Effects of different soil management practices on total P and Olsen-P sediment loss: a field rainfall simulation study Ghent University
Genetic effects on total phenolics, condensed tannins and non-structural carbohydrates in loblolly pine (**Pinus taeda** L.) needles University of Antwerp
Carbon allocation to soluble phenolics (total phenolics, proanthocyanidins (PA)) and total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC; starch and soluble sugars) in needles of widely planted, highly productive loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genotypes could impact stand resistance to herbivory, and biogeochemical cycling in the southeastern USA. However, genetic and growth-related effects on loblolly pine needle chemistry are not well characterized. ...
The Effects of Different Femoral Component Materials on Bone and Implant Response in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Finite Element Analysis KU Leuven
Due to the high stiffness of the biomaterials used in total knee arthroplasty, stress shielding can lead to decreased periprosthetic bone mineral density and bone resorption. As different materials and 3D-printed highly porous surfaces are available for knee femoral components from the industry nowadays, this study aimed to compare the effects of two same-design cruciate-retaining femoral components, made with CoCr and titanium alloy, ...
The effects of task complexity on brake response time before and after primary right total knee arthroplasty Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objective: To study the effects of an increase in task complexity on brake response time in patients
undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Design: A prospective repeated measures design was used. The
measurements took place one day before and ten and thirty days after surgery. Setting: On each
measurement day the patients performed five practice and ten test trials for two tasks (one simple and one complex) in a car simulator. ...

Operative vectors, anatomic distortion, fluid dynamics and the inherent effects of pneumatic insufflation encountered during transanal total mesorectal excision Hasselt University
Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an altogether different approach to rectal cancer surgery, and the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) on this dissection remain poorly described. This article critically examines the effect of carbon dioxide insufflation and the workspace it creates during the process of taTME. The unique aspects of insulation with this approach are governed by the laws of physics, especially the principles of fluid ...
