Background: Although impairments in dorso-lumbar spine mobility have been previously reported in patients with low back pain, its exact mechanism is not yet clear. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate and compare spinal kinematics between subjects with and without low back pain and identify appropriate tools to evaluate it.
Methods: The PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant literature.
Background: The present study aimed to classify the relative contributions of four biomechanical factors-the root-end filling , the apical , the root , and the -on the root stresses of the resected premolar.
Methods: A design of experiments approach based on a defined subset of factor combinations was conducted to calculate the influence of each factor and their interactions. Sixteen finite element models were created and analyzed using the von Mises stress criterion.
Skin irritation is a common phenomenon that becomes a real concern when caused by the use of medical devices. Because the materials used for the design of these devices are usually carefully selected for chemical compatibility with the skin, it is reasonable to assume that the irritations result from the mechanical interaction between the devices and the skin. The aim of this work was to develop a new device to study both the shear strains in the layers of the skin, using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and the friction behaviour of ex vivo skin interacting with objects.

After national lockdowns, many patients were also concerned about their safety at school. We evaluated the impact of the pandemic on the optimal continuation of treatment and on the return to school in JIA patients.

- Surgeries for children with idiopathic uveitis and juvenile arthritis are risky due to potential inflammatory issues post-operation, and there's no agreed approach to managing treatments during this time.
- A study was conducted in six French hospitals from 2006 to 2018 involving 76 surgeries on 37 children, examining the impact of continuing or stopping immunosuppressive therapies.
- Results indicated that stopping immunotherapy before surgery led to a 100% relapse rate within three months, while only 25% experienced relapse when therapies were maintained, suggesting it's safer to continue treatment.*
