“Our data support early resistance rehabilitation as a promising treatment to increase bone formation, bone healing strength, and promote full restoration of mechanical properties to pre-injury levels,” said Dr. Bob Guldberg.


How can implantable sensors help patients during their recovery? This is what a recent study published in npj Regenerative Medicine hopes to address as a team of researchers led by the University of Oregon investigated the use of implantable strain sensors to aid bone healing during rehabilitation from bone defect injuries. This study holds the potential to help provide patients with improved options regarding bone defect injuries while significantly reducing their rehabilitation time.

When it comes to rehabilitation, patients and doctors have always tried to find a middle-ground regarding the amount of strain needed to achieve the most desired outcomes, commonly called the “Goldilocks” principle. Therefore, this new study developed implantable sensors designed to monitor bone healing and determine if resistance training is a sufficient rehabilitation tool for patients. The researchers conducted an 8-week trial with laboratory rats split into three groups: resistance-trained, sedentary (inactive), and non-resistance.

In the end, the researchers found that while all three groups exhibited bone healing after the trial, the resistance-trained rats not only exhibited early signs of bone healing, but also exhibited increased tissue density, as well.

Tiny sensors offer new hope for faster bone injury recovery https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/tiny-sensors-offer-new-hope-for-faster-bone-injury-recovery https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/tiny-sensors-offer-new-hope-for-faster-bone-injury-recovery#respond Thu, 12 Dec 2024 17:54:30 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/tiny-sensors-offer-new-hope-for-faster-bone-injury-recovery

Tiny implantable sensors are helping University of Oregon researchers optimize the process of recovery from severe bone injuries.

Scientists at the UO’s Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact have developed miniature that transmit about what’s happening at an injury site. In a new study, they use the technology to show that a resistance-training rehabilitation program can significantly improve femur injuries in rats in just eight weeks.

The sensors provide a window into the mechanical properties of the , giving scientists detailed ongoing data about the process of . If someday applied in humans, these sensors could allow doctors to better tailor a rehabilitation program to an individual patient, monitoring their progress and adjusting the exercises along the way.

Shaking felt across Central California following magnitude 5.5 earthquake in Nevada https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/shaking-felt-across-central-california-following-magnitude-5-5-earthquake-in-nevada https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/shaking-felt-across-central-california-following-magnitude-5-5-earthquake-in-nevada#respond Tue, 10 Dec 2024 15:06:42 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/shaking-felt-across-central-california-following-magnitude-5-5-earthquake-in-nevada

SACRAMENTO — A magnitude 5.5 earthquake that struck in a remote area of Nevada on Monday afternoon sent shaking throughout Central California, including the Sacramento area.

In Sacramento, one person saw ornaments on a Christmas tree sway, as did some blinds for less than a minute. Water sloshed in a swimming pool, another person said. In Davis, a computer swayed for just a few seconds and a desk chair was jolted, while a young man reported feeling his bed sway and an unnerved poodle sought comfort.

In Reno, about 50 miles northwest of the quake’s epicenter, someone at KTVN-TV captured a video of the star on the newsroom’s Christmas tree still quivering — barely — as staffers scrambled to cover the earthquake. One person could be heard saying they hadn’t felt anything.

Antiferromagnetic spin-torque diode effect in a kagome Weyl semimetal https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/antiferromagnetic-spin-torque-diode-effect-in-a-kagome-weyl-semimetal https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/antiferromagnetic-spin-torque-diode-effect-in-a-kagome-weyl-semimetal#respond Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:09:20 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/antiferromagnetic-spin-torque-diode-effect-in-a-kagome-weyl-semimetal

In a Mn3Sn/W epitaxial bilayer, spin–orbit torque induces the coherent rotation of spins, which can couple to microwave currents. Unlike in ferromagnets, the resulting conversion of AC current to DC voltage remains robust at higher frequencies, which may facilitate the development of high-speed electronic devices.
