First in vivo MRI assessment of a self-assembled metallostar compound endowed with a remarkable high field relaxivity

André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Eva Jakab Toth, Joao Bruno Livramento Fig.

{Fe[Gd2bpy(DTTA)2(H2O)4]3}4- is a self-assembled, metallostar-structured potential MRI contrast agent, with six efficiently relaxing Gd3+ centers confined into a small mol. space. Its proton relaxivity is particularly remarkable at very high magnetic field ...

Laser Doppler blood-flow imaging combined with topographical imaging of the sample

Theo Lasser, Roland Michaely

We present a combination of topography measurements based on digital fringe projection and blood flow imaging based on Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI). Both techniques are optical, non-contact and high-speed whole-field methods well suited for in-vivo measurem ...

Peri-implant bone remodeling after total hip replacement combined with systemic alendronate treatment: a finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo, Bastian Peter

In order to decrease the peri-implant bone loss during the life-time of the implant, oral use of anti-osteoporosis drugs (like bisphosphonates) has been suggested. In this study, bone remodeling parameters identified from clinical trials of alendronate wer ...

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 ...
