Lisa Grant-McDonald DPM, AACFAS, William Grant DPM, FACFAS, in Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2022 Physiologic bone signaling Much like the rest of the body, the peripheral nervous system is what relays stimuli between the central nervous system (CNS) and the bone. The nerves of...
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...
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...
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.Cancer:Most bone tumors are non-cancerous (benign), but some are cancerous (malignant). Benign tumors ...
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...
Collapse of the disc space can cause instability of the spine, abnormal joint mechanics, premature development of arthritis or nerve damage, in addition to severe pain. Pain relief via discectomy and arthrodesis requires preservation of the disc space and eventual fusion of the affected motion ...
Traumatic, tumoral, and infectious bone defects are common in clinics, and create a big burden on patient’s families and society. Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based biomaterials have superior properties and have been widely used for bone defect repair, due to their similarities to the inorganic compon...
In the present study, a PCL/PLGA/β-TCP membrane prepared using a 3D printing system was subjected to in vitro mechanical and cellular tests, applied in vivo in a clinical setting, and compared with a titanium membrane commonly used in clinics. Implants were placed in the extracted mandibles...
When the developed crystals are very small (near or smaller than the wavelength of light) and the crystalline phase and glass have close refractive index values, the resultant GC can appear to be transparent or slightly translucent. This is an important feature for materials that require specific...
