Hutchinson, K. (author), van Zandwijk, Jan Peter (author), Vester, Marloes E.M. (author), Seth, A. (author), Bilo, Rob A.C. (author), van Rijn, Rick R. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author)Inflicted shaking trauma can cause injury in infants, but exact injury mechanisms remain unclear. Controversy exists, particularly in courts, whether additional causes such as impact are required to produce injuries found in cases of (suspected) shaking. Publication rates of studies on animal and biomechanical models of inflicted head injury...review 2024

(author), Hamprecht, Axel (author), Voss, Andreas (author), Lokate, Mariëtte (author)Contamination of duodenoscopes is a significant concern due to the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) among patients who undergo endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), resulting in outbreaks worldwide. In July 2020, it was determined that three different patients, all had undergone ERCP with the same...journal article 2024

(author)In photographs of evidence in forensic investigations, physical size references (e.g., rulers or stickers) are often placed next to a trace to allow us to take measurements from photos. However, this is laborious and introduces contamination risks. The FreeRef-1 system is a contactless size reference system that allows us to take forensic...journal article 2023

Gholinejad, M. (author), Edwin, Bjørn (author), Elle, Ole Jakob (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author)Background: Surgical process model (SPM) analysis is a great means to predict the surgical steps in a procedure as well as to predict the potential impact of new technologies. Especially in complicated and high-volume treatments, such as parenchyma sparing laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), profound process knowledge is essential for...journal article 2023

Schiks, L.A.H. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author)Inflicted head injury by shaking trauma (IHI-ST) in infants is a type of abusive head trauma often simulated computationally to investigate causalities between violent shaking and injury. This is commonly done with the head’s rotation center kept fixed over time. However, due to the flexibility of the infant’s neck and the external shaking...journal article 2023

Bilo, Rob A.C. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author), Robben, Simon G.F. (author), Van Rijn, Rick R. (author)A fracture is a partial or complete disruption of the continuity of bone or cartilage, due to mechanical forces exceeding the strength of the bone or cartilage to withstand these forces.Fractures are common in children. In a large Swedish study, the overall annual incidence of fractures in children was 2.1% (2.6 for boys; 1.7 for girls). Most...book chapter 2023

Bilo, Rob A.C. (author), Vester, Marloes E.M. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author), Teeuw, Rian A.H. (author)Child abuse, irrespective of the type of child abuse, probably is the most prevalent risk factor for the development of children. Physical abuse is the type of abuse with the highest risk of infliction of injuries. The most injured organ due to physical abuse is the skin, with bruises being the most prevalent cutaneous injury. Other cutaneous...book chapter 2023

(author), van Veen, R. L.P. (author), Karakullukcu, M. B. (author)Image-to-patient registration in navigated mandibular surgery is complex due to the mobile nature of the mandible compared with other craniofacial bones. As a result, surgical navigation is rarely employed in the mandibular region.

Schiks, L.A.H. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Loeve, A.J. (author)In order to investigate potential causal relations between the shaking of infants and injuries, biomechanical studies compare brain and skull dynamic behavior during shaking to injury thresholds. However, performing shaking tolerance research on infants, either in vivo or ex vivo, is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, infant...journal article 2020
