THE SENSITIVITY OF BIOLOGICAL FINITE ELEMENT MODELS TO THE RESOLUTION OF SURFACE GEOMETRY: A CASE STUDY OF CROCODILIAN CRANIA

The sensitivity of biological finite element models to the resolution of surface geometry: a case study of crocodilian crania

The reliability of finite element analysis (FEA) in biomechanical investigations depends upon understanding the influence of model assumptions.In producing finite element models, surface mesh resolution is influenced by the resolution of input geometry, and influences the resolution of the ensuing solid mesh used for numerical analysis.Despite a la

The in-hospital tuberculosis diagnostic cascade and early clinical outcomes among people living with HIV before and during the COVID-19 pandemic - a prospective multisite cohort study from Ghana

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic had a disruptive impact on tuberculosis (TB) and HIV services.We assessed the in-hospital TB diagnostic care among people with HIV (PWH) overall and before and during the pandemic.Methods: In this prospective study, adult PWH admitted at three hospitals in Ghana were recruited if they had a positive World Health Or
