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 ...

The role of uncertainty in dam failure frequency estimates: a conceptual case study

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

The return period of combinations of events that are relevant to dam risk analysis is very high. It falls in a range of hundreds to millions of years, but remains hard to quantify with precision. Deterministic approaches to dam safety assessment typically ...

Shapeable scaffold material and uses thereof

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Amélie Barbara Hildegarde Béduer, Giorgio Pietramaggiori

The invention relates to a scaffold material comprising a plurality of particles of a highly porous polymeric material, characterized in that said scaffold material becomes a shapeable paste once hydrated. The specific features of the particle material imp ...

Alignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair

Weiliang Shen, Ting Zhu, Jiayun Huang

Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, whi ...

Efficient Preconditioning of hp-FEM Matrices by Hierarchical Low-Rank Approximations

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Paolo Gatto

We introduce a preconditioner based on a hierarchical low-rank compression scheme of Schur complements. The construction is inspired by standard nested dissection, and relies on the assumption that the Schur complements can be approximated, to high precisi ...

Ectopic tissue engineered ligament with silk collagen scaffold for ACL regeneration: A preliminary study

Wei Zhang, Weiliang Shen, Jiayun Huang

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains a formidable clinical challenge because of the lack of vascularization and adequate cell numbers in the joint cavity. In this study, we developed a novel strategy to mimic the early stage of repair in ...

Device and methods for shell phase removal of core-shell capsules

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

A device and method for the mechanical (partial or total) removal of the liquid phase of the external shell of a core-shell capsule is disclosed. The device comprises a main channel having at least one inlet, one outlet and a tubular element in between, ad ...

Efficient preconditioning of hp-FEM matrices arising from time-varying problems: an application to topology optimization

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Paolo Gatto

We previously introduced a preconditioner that has proven effective for hp-FEM dis- cretizations of various challenging elliptic and hyperbolic problems. The construc- tion is inspired by standard nested dissection, and relies on the assumption that the Sc ...
