Modeling of the chest wall response to prolonged bracing in pectus carinatum
PLOS ONE, Aug 2023 Pectus carinatum is a chest wall deformity that is often treated through the wearing of an external brace. The treatment of the deformity could benefit from a greater understanding of chest wall characteristics under prolonged loading. These characteristics are difficult to model directly but empirical studies can be used to create statistical models. 185 patients from 2018-2020 received bracing treatment.

"An Origami-Based Medical Support System to Mitigate Flexible Shaft Buc" by Brandon Sargent, Jared Butler et al.
Keywords origami-based, medical support system, Flexible Shaft Buckling Abstract This paper presents the development of an origami-inspired support system (the OriGuide) that enables the insertion of flexible instruments using medical robots.
"Heat Set Creases in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Sheets to Enable " by Brandon Sargent, Nathan Brown et al.
Keywords heat set creases, polyethylene terephthalate, PET, origami-based Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheets show promise for application in origami-based engineering design. Origami-based engineering provides advantages that are not readily available in traditional engineering design methods. Several processing methods were examined to identify trends and determine the effect of processing of PET sheets on the crease properties of origami mechanisms in PET.

"Using Collapsible Systems to Mitigate Buckling in Thin Flexible Instru" by Brandon Scott Sargent
Abstract Robotic surgery procedures may include long, thin flexible instruments that are inserted by the robot into the patient. As the robot inserts these devices, due to their geometry, they are prone to buckling failure. To mitigate buckling failure, a support system is needed on the robot. This system supports the device but also adapts to the varying ex vivo length of the device as it is inserted.
Grandma's Dementia Made Her Forget Her Homophobia
The night of December 18, 2004, began as an ordinary evening for Blair Cobbs’s father, Eugene. At 33, the elder Cobbs was already a seasoned veteran of the drug trafficking trade. He was flying solo to his hometown of Philadelphia, having taken off from Compton Airport near Los Angeles. After a quick fuel-up in Missouri, it was somewhere over West Virginia that things began to go bad for the self-taught pilot.
Grandma’s Dementia Made Her Forget Her Homophobia
Illustrations by Erick M. Ramos I sat on the shag carpeting in my grandma’s basement near her vintage Pac-Man arcade game, watching my cousins whip the joystick around, trying to beat the record so they could leave the initials A-S-S on the system’s high-score board. When a ghost caught up with Pac-Man, my cousins screamed, but I was more invested in the yelling echoing from the floor above us. I quietly crept over to the basement staircase, trying my best to hear what was happening in the kitchen.
