Lead lines are characteristically seen in rapidly growing tubular bones including the distal femur and proximal tibula and fibula (knee joint), but the vertebral bodies and iliac wing can also be affected. This effect has been attributed to the action of lead on the remodeling of calcified ...
Typical clinical findings, including blue sclera, gray opalescent primary teeth (dentinogenesis imperfecta), short stature, and joint laxity, can aid in the diagnosis. Radiographic features commonly include vertebral fractures, generalized osteopenia, and gracile long bones with evidence of bowing (Fig. ...
development of DC-based ES therapy is largely limited by its disadvantages, such as thermal damage, formation of capacitive bilayers, toxicity of metal-based electrodes, pH alteration, and by-products from electrolysis [66]. In AC electrical stimuli, besides the level of voltage/current and stimul...
In OA research, vibrational spectroscopic imaging has been used to investigate the chemical and molecular composition of the joint tissue, including cartilage, bone, synovial, and adipose tissues. Several vibrational spectroscopic imaging techniques are available and include near-infrared (NIR) imaging, m...
Veterinary bone grafts and substitutes are commonly used in orthopedic treatments compared to other indications due to their critical role in addressing fractures, bone defects, and joint problems, which are prevalent in animals. These materials provide structural support and facilitate bone healing, ...
with abnormal tissue. The bone weakens and might break. A bone tumor can lead to disability or death. Symptoms often include progressive pain that gets worse at night and swelling, especially near a joint. Certain bone tumors are painless. With other types, weakness or fatigue may be present...
Second, we describe the joint trajectories in all pair-wise combinations of these factors (that is, concurrent change in grip strength-ALM/ht2; grip strength-total hip BMD; grip strength-walking speed; ALM/ht2-total hip BMD; ALM/ht2-walking speed; and total hip BMD-walking speed.) We ...
joint pain; upset stomach; depressed mood; sleep problems (insomnia); or increased sweating. SG and her family came to our centre. She brought along a medical report which said, “Right thigh soft tissue tumour.” She was okay but her daily life was not comfortable — it could be better...
Increased remodeling is known to occur in a number of clinical conditions in horses, including degenerative joint disease and navicular syndrome, in addition to stress fractures. Despite the significant focus in the literature on the concept that bone repair and replacement is site-coupled to prior ...
Synthesis and characterization PCL is widely used to fabricate scaffolds, drug carriers, and medical devices due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties.36 It has also been approved by the FDA and is currently used in clinics. PCL is a biodegradable material and is favorable for...
