Overview

Arturo N. Natali is affiliated with the University of Padua in Italy and specializes in research at the intersection of medicine and engineering. Their work predominantly spans the fields of Medicine and Engineering, with a particular focus on subfields such as Urology, Surgery, Rheumatology, Biomedical Engineering, and Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism.

The scientific contributions of Natali cover key topics including pelvic floor disorders treatments, urological disorders and treatments, urinary bladder and prostate research, lower extremity biomechanics and pathologies, diabetic foot ulcer assessment and management, foot and ankle surgery, and knee injuries and reconstruction techniques.

Their recent papers demonstrate a focus on biomechanical and computational modeling applied to medical devices and physiological structures. Notable publications include:

  • Biomechanical analysis of the interaction phenomena between artificial urinary sphincter and urethral duct, 2020, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering
  • Investigation of interaction phenomena between lower urinary tract and artificial urinary sphincter in consideration of urethral tissues degeneration, 2020, Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology
  • Conformation and mechanics of the polymeric cuff of artificial urinary sphincter, 2020, Mathematical Biosciences & Engineering

Frequent collaborations involve several coauthors, with the most recurring being Chiara Giulia Fontanella and Emanuele Luigi Carniel, each contributing to seven joint publications. Other collaborators include Veronica Macchi, Andrea Porzionato, and Alessandro Arduino.

The Scholar has also published studies related to lower limb biomechanics and dental implant interactions, as evidenced by coauthored works appearing in diverse venues such as the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part H Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Applied Sciences.

Major publication venues where Natali's work appears include:

  • International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering
  • Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part H Journal of Engineering in Medicine
  • Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology
  • Mathematical Biosciences & Engineering
  • Applied Sciences

Overall, the research portfolio reflects an emphasis on combining engineering methodologies with clinical challenges in urology and musculoskeletal biomechanics, addressing both device-tissue interaction and pathological considerations in treatment development.
