The next morning she woke up naked in a hotel room just outside Manhattan, covered in bruises and scratches. Seven naked men slept on the floor around her. The men paid Tebow's friend to drug and bring her to the hotel. Her friend set her up for a night she would never forget. She turned into a victim of sex trafficking that night. All she wanted to do was have a
Kristen Tebow, a woman from Manhattan, just wanted to make friends her freshman year at Kansas State University. On a typical weekend night, she made plans with a new friend from marching band. She and her newly found friend visited a typical bar on the outskirts of Manhattan. Tebow's friend got her a drink; a few moments later she felt like the "world went crazy" and passed out in the bar's bathroom.

Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment
N
Lisa Fris, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of.
For every 1.000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment.

University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model
"Unfortunately, a 75-year-old
A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded.
"It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the physiological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said.
male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl', but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Friis said.
"The spine is a series of connected joints", Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better."

"The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics," Friis said. "Some spinal surgery procedures still
Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent.
The lab has successfully created a model of an adult lumbar spine, which has enabled researchers to now begin creating a pediatric model spine.
These kinds of surgeries include spinal implants and fusions, which are used to treat scoliosis.
Erin Lewis, a graduate student in bioengineering from Fort Scott, said medical device companies rely on a scaled-down model of an adult spine, which can lead to error and confusion.
"Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that."
Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City,
