Accurate calibration of finite element (FE) models is essential across various biomechanical applications, including human intervertebral discs (IVDs), to ensure their reliability and use in diagnosing and planning treatments. However, traditional calibration methods are computationally intensive, requiring iterative, derivative-free optimization algorithms that often take days to converge. This study addresses these challenges by introducing a novel, efficient, and effective calibration method demonstrated on a human L4-L5 IVD FE model as a case study using a neural network (NN) surrogate.

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) infections represent some of the most critical pediatric health challenges, characterized by high mortality rates and a notable risk of long-term complications. Despite their significance, standardized guidelines for endocrinological follow-up of CNS infection survivors are lacking, leading to reliance on the expertise of individual centers and clinicians.
Materials And Methods: Prospective monocentric observational study conducted at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli in Rome, Italy.

Background: Cavum Septum Pellucidum [CSP] is commonly observed on neuroimaging in individuals exposed to repetitive head impacts [RHI] and in post-mortem examination in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy [CTE]. A CSP is proposed as a potential biomarker for CTE, yet prevalence across neurodegenerative diseases and its clinical implications are largely unknown. We assessed CSP prevalence and clinical associations in RHI-exposed individuals in comparison to veterans with a history of traumatic brain injury [TBI], individuals with a neurodegenerative disease (i.

Background: In elite athletes, participation in sports associated with repetitive head injury exposure has been linked to an increased risk of neurodegeneration later in life. However, there has been limited study in more general populations. We aimed to investigate whether participation in such sports impacted outcomes relevant to brain health in a cohort of British-born older adults.
