We describe a discrete event simulation model of the national liver allocation system. This model differs from previous modeling efforts in that it considers the natural history of the disease ...independently of any particular patient priority scheme, thus allowing an unbiased appraisal of various allocation schemes. We provide the basic structure of the model, which consists of patient and organ generators, a survival module, and a disease progression module. The model provides various outputs such as patient survival, financial cost, and the number of wasted organs. We describe our model of patient survival with and without a transplant. We discuss some difficulties estimating model parameters due to a lack of appropriate medical data, and how these difficulties were overcome. We close with conclusions and directions for further research.
Accident injury studies have clearly shown that skeletal ankle injuries are a significant cause of temporary and permanent impairment and can lead to long term morbidity. In this paper the use of a ...driving simulator to present car drivers with situations requiring emergency braking is reported. The mean peak force applied to the brake pedal was 750N (σ 327) with the foot plantar flexed by 18° (σ 11.5). This plantar flexing force was applied through the achilles tendon in a series of post mortem human surrogate tests, to evaluate the effect of bracing on lower leg behaviour in dynamic impacts. Significant effects on axial loading, movement of the foot at the ankle and mean impactor force were demonstrated. There was no significant effect on peak bending moments in the tibia.
