Mechano-rheological properties of the murine thrombus determined via nanoindentation and finite element modeling.

Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and abdominal aortic aneurysms are blood-related diseases that represent a major public health problem. These diseases are characterized by the formation of a thrombus (i.e.

Density and architecture have greater effects on the toughness of trabecular bone than damage.

Bone damage has been cited as an important aspect of bone quality. As such, understanding the effects of damage on the toughness of trabecular bone should provide insight into trabecular bone behavior during energy-limiting cases, such as falls. The effects of damage on the toughness of 35 bovine trabecular bone specimens were studied.
