Hydroxyapatite, a mineral form of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) that gives bones their rigidity, is the major and essential component of bones and teeth in the human and animal body. A suitable rati…
The accumulation of lead in several bones of Wistar rats with time was determined and compared for the different types of bones. Two groups were studied: a control group (n = 20), not exposed to lead …
We created three-part unstable intertrochanteric fractures in 6 pairs of aged, osteopenic, human, cadaveric femora. Fractures were reduced and fixed with a Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) (Synthes, Paoli, PA)…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of daily movements on weight gain, serum leptin, and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in premature infants.STUDY DESIGN: Twenty very-low-birth-weight premature infa…
Improvements of ultrasound technology with knew equipments allowed enormous advances in all fields of medicine during the last years. Several conditions concerning technical equipment and training of …
Stereology applied on histological sections is the 'gold standard' for obtaining quantitative information on cancellous bone structure. Recent advances in micro computed tomography (microCT) have made…
The quantitative relationships between the position of the mastoid segment of the facial nerve, mastoid pneumatization and the positions of neighbouring structures are undetermined. Using high resolut…
The cleaning of fresh bones to remove their soft tissues while maintaining their structural integrity is a basic and essential part of bone studies. The primary issue is how the cleaning process influ…
In this chapter, we describe a method for engineering bone grafts in vitro with the specific geometry of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condyle. The anatomical geometry of the bone grafts was segme…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate sequences that are established at lower magnetic field strengths for lumbar spine imaging at 7 Tesla (7 T) MR imaging.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The lumbar…
The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between gentamicin concentration in Palacos R bone cement (in the mass fraction range of 0-9.4%) and various properties of the cement. The result…
We developed a powerful and highly reliable cascade functionalization technique for constructing sophisticated macromolecular architectures. Central to the technique are the ambident agents having com…
Ridge resorption following edentulation has been documented clinically, but the effects of tooth loss on the material properties of mandibular cortical bone have received little study. Material proper…
Breast milk is the best form of nutrition for infants. However, it places infants born to HIV infected women at risk of acquiring HIV infection. Total avoidance of breastfeeding is the only way of com…
Neural mechanisms that integrate posture with movement are widespread throughout the central nervous system (CNS), and they are recruited in patterns that are both task- and context-dependent. Scienti…
OBJECTIVE: To develop a three-dimensional virtual model of a human temporal bone based on serial histologic sections.BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional anatomy of the human temporal bone is complex, an…
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of progressive labral and bone loss on the articular contact area and pressures across the glenohumeral joint under compressive loads of 220 and…
Early markers of neurological outcome in the absence of overt brain damage are scarce in extreme prematurity. The aim of this study was to compare spectral EEG values of infants born near term with th…
Oxidation of the acetate-bridged half-lantern platinum(II) complex cis-[Pt(II)(NH(3))(2)(ì-OAc)(2)Pt(II)(NH(3))(2)](NO(3))(2), [1](NO(3))(2), with iodobenzene dichloride or bromine generates the halid…
UNLABELLED: Adults with intellectual disabilities (IDs) have poor lifestyle-related health compared with the general population. Our aim was to study whether such differences are present already in ad…
