Journal Article
Watson, P. J., Fagan, M. J., & Dobson, C. A. (2015). Sensitivity to model geometry in finite element analyses of reconstructed skeletal structures: Experience with a juvenile pelvis. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 229(1), 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411914564476

Biomechanical analysis of juvenile pelvic growth can be used in the evaluation of medical devices and investigation of hip joint disorders. This requires access to scan data of healthy juveniles, which are not always freely available. This article an...

Investigating the efficacy of bisphosphonates treatment against multiple myeloma induced bone disease using a computational model (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ji, B., Yang, Q., Genever, P. G., & Fagan, M. J. Investigating the efficacy of bisphosphonates treatment against multiple myeloma induced bone disease using a computational model

Multiple myeloma (MM)-induced bone disease is mortal for most MM patients. Bisphosphonates are first-line treatment for MM-induced bone disease, since it can inhibit osteoclast activity and the resultant bone resorption by suppressing the differentia...

This study presents a systematic comparison of different approaches to the automated selection of the principal components (PC) which optimise the detection of maternal and fetal heart beats from non-invasive maternal abdominal recordings. A public d... Read More about Extracting fetal heart beats from maternal abdominal recordings: Selection of the optimal principal components.

The biomechanical function of periodontal ligament fibres in orthodontic tooth movement (2014)
Journal Article
McCormack, S. W., Witzel, U., Watson, P. J., Fagan, M. J., & Gröning, F. (2014). The biomechanical function of periodontal ligament fibres in orthodontic tooth movement. PLoS ONE, 9(7), e102387. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0102387

Orthodontic tooth movement occurs as a result of resorption and formation of the alveolar bone due to an applied load, but the stimulus responsible for triggering orthodontic tooth movement remains the subject of debate. It has been suggested that th... Read More about The biomechanical function of periodontal ligament fibres in orthodontic tooth movement.

Recurring patterns in stationary intervals of abdominal uterine electromyograms during gestation (2014)
