Musculoskeletal models (MSKMs) are used to estimate the muscle and joint forces involved in human locomotion, often associated with onset of degenerative musculoskeletal pathologies (e.g., osteoarthritis). Subject-specific MSKMs offer more accurate predictions than their scaled-generic counterparts. This accuracy is achieved through time-consuming personalisation manual tuning procedures that s...

Abstract 3D printing is a widely used technology for automating the fabrication of prototypes. The benefits are wide reaching, and include low required expertise, accurate geometric form processibility many materials. However, production certain forms – especially large can be slow. From review sub-systems, hotend commonly found to limiting factor. To improve this, modified nozzle design consid...

Excessive weight gain after tonsillectomy has been described by a handful of studies since as early as 1988 and, in recent years, mostly with variable study design, methods, and baseline weight of the subjects. Although most otolaryngologists have likely been asked whether tonsillectomy may lead to weight gain by parents and caretakers, there has been very limited research on this issue, and ce...
