Internal lung surface area (ISA) is a critical criterion for assessing lung morphology and physiology in lung diseases and injury-induced alveolar regeneration. We describe here a standardized method that can minimize the measurement bias for ISA in both lung pneumonectomy and prosthesis implantation mouse models.

Body segmental inertial properties are required for inverse dynamics modeling. Using an oscillation and reaction board technique, inertial properties of below-knee prostheses were measured. Using direct measures of prosthesis inertia in the inverse dynamics model of the prosthetic leg resulted in lower magnitudes of resultant joint forces and moments.

Neural-machine interfaces (NMI) have been developed to identify the user's locomotion mode. These NMIs are potentially useful for neural control of powered artificial legs, but have not been fully demonstrated. This paper presented (1) our designed engineering platform for easy implementation and development of neural control for powered lower limb prostheses and (2) an experimental setup and protocol in a laboratory environment to evaluate neurally-controlled artificial legs on patients with...
FAQs
The anchoring strategy depends on the prosthesis design and the anatomical structure being treated. Surgeons may fix the device to bone, attach it to soft tissue, or use another design-specific method to maintain its position. Reliable stabilization helps the artificial structure function with surrounding anatomy and supports structural stability during recovery and later use.
Device design influences how well a prosthesis matches and supports the surrounding anatomy, while the biological response reflects how the body reacts to the implanted material and structure. These factors can affect stability, comfort, function, and durability. Their interaction helps explain why successful placement alone does not determine long-term results.
Protecting surrounding tissue and reducing infection risk are important because implantation alters the local anatomical environment. Excessive tissue injury may interfere with the intended support or function of the device, while infection can compromise the procedure and subsequent recovery. Surgical approaches therefore aim to place and secure the prosthesis while minimizing avoidable biological disruption.
Positioning must correspond to the patient’s surrounding anatomy and the prosthesis’s intended role. The device should replace, support, or restore the affected structure while remaining compatible with the tissues that provide fixation or attachment. Appropriate alignment and stabilization are relevant to the expected effects, including mobility, structural stability, comfort, or functional restoration.
Medical applications include joint replacement, dental restoration, limb reconstruction, and other reconstructive procedures. The choice reflects the type of anatomical structure that is damaged or missing and the function that needs support or restoration. Depending on the application, implantation may aim to improve movement, replace structural support, restore appearance or function, or enhance comfort.
Successful implantation can improve mobility, structural stability, comfort, and quality of life, but these benefits depend on more than the operation itself. Device design, the body’s biological response, and postoperative care all influence long-term outcomes. Evaluating the procedure therefore requires attention to both immediate restoration of function and the prosthesis’s continuing relationship with the body.
