Synoyial joints articulate in a lubricating environment, the system providing for smooth articulation. The articular cartilage overlying the bone consists of a network of collagen fibres. This network is essential to cartilage integrity, suffering damage i ...
Micro Proton Induced X-ray Emission (mu-PIXE) analysis has been employed herein in investigating and quantifying the distribution of a number of essential elements in thin human diseased articular cartilage sections affected by osteoarthritis (OA). Various ...
A novel MR-guided brain therapy device operating at 1 MHz has been designed and constructed. The system has been installed and tested in a clinical 1.5 T Philips Achieva MRI. Skull bone distortions induced on the ultrasonic beam are corrected using the con ...
Metabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid has been shown to be temperature- dependent in cartilage explants, with optimal anabolic effects between 36 1C and 38 1C. At rest, the temperature of human knee has a value of around 33 1C. We aim to show in ...
With an ever-growing amount of data generated on the web, aggregating information from the crowd into meaningful knowledge has become crucial to companies in order to create a competitive edge. Not only companies, but also organizations and governments can ...
Mechanobiology is the analysis of the role of mechanical forces in educing a molecular response in cells. Nowadays, mechanobiology may contribute to clinical progress. In particular, mechanical stimulation has been proposed to induce chondrogenesis in engi ...
The aim of this study is to compare the difference in µ-motion between a custom stem implant and a sps standard stem and assess the importance of patient specificity. A surgeon would implant 3 sps-standar stems and 3 custom stems in 6 cadaveric femurs. The ...
Reversed shoulder prostheses are used for the treatment for glenohumeral arthritis associated to rotator cuff muscle deficiency. The glenoid component is fixed with peripheral screws, which provide the primary stability that is crucial for the long-term os ...
Computed Tomography (CT) represents the standard imaging modality for tumor volume delineation for radiotherapy treatment planning of retinoblastoma despite some inherent limitations. CT scan is very useful in providing information on physical density for ...
