Abstract: |
This document is a preface to a special section in the Journal of Mechanics in Medicine & Biology that focuses on the application and progress of biomechanics in medicine. It highlights 29 papers that cover a wide range of topics, including aortic response to blunt side impacts, acupuncture treatment for depressive insomnia, blood flow in carotid arteries, consumer sentiment analysis in e-commerce, epilepsy diagnosis using EEG signals, disability grading in the elderly, medical image retrieval, emotion recognition using EEG signals, tongue region segmentation in traditional Chinese medicine, human posture recognition, EEG-based emotion recognition, human bone movement identification in ice sports, hypertension-related gene expression analysis, acupuncture for lipid reduction in obese rats, epilepsy EEG recognition, bladder wall segmentation and cancer assessment, artificial intelligence in thyroid cancer diagnosis, aerobic fitness and brain-limb synchronization, MR image denoising, early warning model for mental illnesses, mind-body activation in stroke rehabilitation, EEG-based emotion recognition using deep learning, biomedical image segmentation, motion-stimulated EEG signal recognition, joint dynamics in speed skating, center of gravity manipulation in running shoes, gait pattern reconstruction, surgical navigation system for oral and maxillofacial procedures, lower limb kinematics during squatting, and the latest findings and methodologies in biomechanics research. The preface concludes by emphasizing the importance of collaboration and translation of scientific discoveries for improving human health. [Extracted from the article] |
