Contribution of Genetic Background and Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Drugs (D:A:D) Clinical Risk Score to Chronic Kidney Disease in Swiss HIV-infected Persons With Normal Baseline Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Background. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the relative contribution of genetic background, clinical risk factors, and antiretrovirals to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. Methods. We applied a case-control design and performed genome-wide g ...

Non-setting, injectable biomaterials containing particulate hydroxyapatite can increase primary stability of bone screws in cancellous bone

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger, Jorge Solana Munoz

BACKGROUND: Fracture fixation in weak bone is still a clinical challenge. Screw augmentation was shown to successfully increase their primary stability. The currently used calcium phosphate or polymeric bone cements, however, present important drawbacks su ...

Cement stress predictions after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty are correlated with preoperative glenoid bone quality

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Raphaël Rodolphe Obrist

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that biomechanical parameters typically associated with glenoid implant failure after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) would be correlated with preoperative glenoid bone quality. Methods: We developed an objective aut ...

Two mutations in human BICC1 resulting in Wnt pathway hyperactivity associated with cystic renal dysplasia

Daniel Constam, Marine Marie Kraus, Anne Grapin-Botton

Bicaudal C homologue 1 (Bicc1) knockout in mice causes polycystic kidney disease and pancreas development defects, including a reduction in insulin-producing β-cells and ensuing diabetes. We therefore screened 137 patients with renal abnormalities or assoc ...

Effects of Tissue-Level Ductility on Trabecular Bone Strength

Frédéric Edouard Juillard

Osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases that lead to an accelerated bone loss due to an imbalance in bone turnover. This low bone mass and degraded bone microarchitecture cause a reduction in mechanical properties and an associated increas ...

Bioresorbable Nanocomposite Foams for Bone Tissue Engineering

Claire Diane Delabarde

The present work forms part of an ongoing effort at the Laboratory of Polymer and Composite Technology (LTC) to develop novel solvent-free processing methods for next generation resorbable porous scaffolds for bone replacement, based on supercritical carbo ...

Effect of calcification on agarose gel stiffness and integration strength with Bone

Jérôme Hollenstein

The zone of calcified cartilage (ZCC) is critical for the normal attachment of articular cartilage to bone as well as to the biomimetic bioengineering of osteochondral tissue constructs. However, relatively few osteochondral tissue engineering approaches h ...

Can the increase of bone mineral density following bisphosphonates treatments be explained by biomechanical considerations?

Dominique Pioletti, Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo

OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that bone mineral density increase following bisphosphonates treatments may be explained by the influence of the drug on the mechanical bone remodeling parameters. BACKGROUND: Patients treated with bisphosphonates continuously in ...

Mechanical characterization of bone from the tissue down to the lamellar level by means of nanoindentation

Osteoporosis has become an important health and economic problem of our aging western society. This metabolic illness leads to a net bone loss and to a deterioration of trabecular architecture. Motivated by the fact that osteoporosis may also result in a d ...

The subtype 2 of angiotensin II receptors and pressure-natriuresis in adult rat kidneys

1 The present work examined the effects of the subtype 2 of angiotensin II (AT(2)) receptors on the pressure-natriuresis using a new peptide agonist, and the possible involvement of cyclic guanosine 3', 5' monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in these effects. 2 In ...
