Comparison of standard automotive industry injury predictors and actual injury sustained during significant whiplash events (2021)
Journal Article
Smotrova, E., Morris, L., & McNally, D. (2021). Comparison of standard automotive industry injury predictors and actual injury sustained during significant whiplash events. European Spine Journal, 30(10), 3043-3058. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00586-021-06851-y

Purpose: We present a unique opportunity to compare standard neck injury criteria (used by the automotive industry to predict injury) with real-life injuries. The injuries sustained during, and the overall kinematics of, a television demonstration of...

Canine collars: an investigation of collar type and the forces applied to a simulated neck model (2020)
Journal Article
Carter, A. J., Roshier, A. L., & McNally, D. S. (2020). Canine collars: an investigation of collar type and the forces applied to a simulated neck model. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105681

Background Dog collars have the potential to cause harm when the dog pulls on the lead. This study aimed to determine the effects of collar type and force applied using the lead, on the pressure on a simulated neck model. Methods Seven collars and a...

Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miller, K., Brown, L. P., & McNally, D. (2018, March). Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics. Paper presented at 8th World Conference on 3D Fabrics and Their Applications, Manchester, UK

Fabric sensors are made from knitted conductive yarn and can be used to measure extension in wearable technologies and composite structures. Wearable technologies have considerable potential in sport and medical applications, for example recording li... Read More about Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics.

X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review (2017)
Journal Article
Thompson, A., McNally, D., Maskery, I., & Leach, R. K. (in press). X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review. International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 8, Article 17. https://doi.org/10.1051/ijmqe/2017015

The use of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) with additive manufacture (AM) within a medical context is examined in this review. The seven AM process families and various XCT scanning techniques are explained in brief, and the use of these technologies...

Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation (2014)
Journal Article
Dixon, J. E., Shah, D. A., Rogers, C., Hall, S., Weston, N., Parmenter, C. D., …Shakesheff, K. M. (2014). Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(15), 5580-5585. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1319685111

The ability of materials to define the architecture and microenvironment experienced by cells provides new opportunities to direct the fate of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) [Robinton DA, Daley GQ (2012) Nature 481(7381):295-305]. However, the... Read More about Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation.

Finite element investigation of the effect of spina bifida on loading of the vertebral isthmus (2013)
Journal Article
Quah, C., Yeoman, M. S., Cizinauskas, A., Cooper, K., McNally, D., & Boszczyk, B. (2014). Finite element investigation of the effect of spina bifida on loading of the vertebral isthmus. Spine Journal, 14(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spinee.2013.08.040

Background: Spondylolysis (SL) of the lower lumbar spine is frequently associated with spina bifida occulta (SBO). There has not been any study that has demonstrated biomechanical or genetic predispositions to explain the coexistence of these two pat...
