Relationship between tissue stress during gait in healthy volunteers and patterns of urate deposition and bone erosion in gout: a biomechanical computational modelling study by Nicola Dalbeth, Gregory D Gamble, Michelle Deacon, Kumar Mithraratne, Justin Fernandez

“…Objectives To determine whether patterns of high internal tissue stress during gait are associated with patterns of monosodium urate crystal deposition and bone erosion in gout.Methods We compared patterns of foot von Mises stress predicted computationally during gait in volunteers of normal and high body mass index (BMI) with patterns of urate deposition in gout and asymptomatic hyperuricaemia, and bone erosion in gout using dual-energy and conventional CT data.Results The highest average and peak von Mises stress during gait was observed at the third metatarsal (MT) head. …”

Study of the Long-Term Deformation Characteristics of Municipal Sludge Solidified Soil under the Coupling Action of Dry-Wet Cycles and Initial Static Deviatoric Stress by Aiwu Yang, Shaokun Yang, Guofang Xu, Wei Zhang

“…On this basis, a creep model is proposed for the long-term deformation considering the effect of dry-wet cycle times and initial static deviatoric stress. The model is further validated by comparing the predictions with the test results under different deviatoric stresses; the good agreement between which shows the potential application of the model to relevant practical engineering.…”

A public health perspective on virtual reality interventions: exploring the impact of VR extreme sports on stress, anxiety, and depression in men with social anxiety disorder by Li Wang, Hossein Faridniya, Haiyang Yu

“…Normality of data distribution was confirmed using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (p &gt; 0.05), and Levene’s test also confirmed the homogeneity of variances (p &gt; 0.05), supporting the use of ANCOVA to compare adjusted post-test scores between groups.ResultsThe VR-based intervention led to significant reductions across all three measured domains. Depression (η2 = 0.916), anxiety (η2 = 0.901), and stress (η2 = 0.829) levels showed substantial improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group.ConclusionThese findings highlight the promise of VR-based extreme sports as a novel, non-pharmacological intervention for men with SAD. …”
