Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroanatomy and Histochemistry of the Salt Glands of the Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrines (Aves, Charadriidae)Bashir M. JarrarProblem statement: Histological and histochemical investigations on the salt glands of birds are very limited. The present study was performed to characterize the microanatomy and histochemistry of the salt glands of the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrines). Approach: Salt glands of the bird under study were fixed, dehydrated, cleared, impregnated and blocked out by paraffin wax. Paraffin sections were utilized in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Truss-Inspired Model with the Uniform Strength Optimization Theory to Predict Spongy Bone Geometry in Proximal FemurHamed Pishdast, Farzam Farahmand, Gholamreza RouhiThis paper presents a new naïve approach for simulating bone remodeling process. It is based on the uniform strength theory of optimization and employs a truss-like model for bone. The truss was subjected to external loads including 5 point loads simulating the hip joint contact forces and 3 muscular forces at the attachment sites of the muscles to the bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Cell-Responsive Nanophase Hydroxyapatite for Tissue EngineeringR. Murugan, S. RamakrishnaScaffold plays a critical role in engineering bone tissues by providing necessary structural support for the cells to accommodate and guiding their growth in the three dimensional (3D) space. Therefore, designing scaffold that mimic composition and structural aspects of the bone is of great importance to promote cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, osteointegration, tissue formation and continued function. Nanophase hydroxyapatite (HA) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanocrystalline Powders of Alkaline-Earth Phosphates as Precursors for BioceramicsParhi Purnendu, A. Ramanan, Alok R. RayBone is a nanocomposite made of calcium phosphates and collagen. Collagen has a typical fibrous structure, with diameter ranging from 100 nm to 2 μm. It is suggested that calcium hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 in the size range 5-50 nm embedded in the collagen framework provides mechanical strength to bone. Among calcium phosphates, apatites are found to be the most suitable for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNano-Diamond Hybrid Materials for Structural Biomedical ApplicationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuThe development of new diamond based bio-mechanically active hybrid nano-structured scaffolds for cartilage cells tissue engineering are proposed in this study. Innovative tissue engineering biomimetic materials based on hydrogel have shown attractive physical, biological and mechanical properties in several biomedical applications. A highly biocompatible novel hybrid material based on nanodiamonds and hydrophilic poly-(hydroxyl-ethyl-methacrylate) (pHEMA) is proposed. The aim of this … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2017 · 9,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexible Stem Trabecular ProsthesesRaffaella Aversa, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaThe complex biomechanics and morphology of the femur proximal epiphysis are presented. This specific region in human femur is characterized by a high flexibility compared to that of other primates, since evolved lighter and longer due to the human verticalposition and more balanced loading. The nature and fine morphology of the femur head and its structural behavior have been investigated. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 7,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Manufacturing of a Custom Skull ImplantJuan Felipe Isaza Saldarriaga, Santiago Correa Vélez, M.D. Adolfo Cumplido Posada et al.Problem statement: Cranioplasty is defined as a neurosurgical procedure to cover an injured bone in the skull. This procedure is carried out in order to protect and restore intracranial structures and to restore the appearance and psychological stability of the patient. Advances in medical imaging, such as MRI and CT, have allowed the 3D reconstruction of anatomical structures for several … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2011 · 9,565 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMedical Service of RobotsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuToday, robots have not only penetrated to create microchips in electronics but also in medicine, where it helps to perform difficult operations, especially where precision is needed and the size is small and any human error could be fatal to the patient. Robots assist the doctor in heart, brain, kidney operations, not to mention bone implants and repair of damaged … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2019 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFabrication of 3-D Porous Mg/Zn doped Tricalcium Phosphate Bone-Scaffolds via the Fused Deposition ModellingSamar Jyoti Kalita, Melissa FergusonThree dimensionally interconnected porous resorbable beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramic scaffolds were developed using the indirect fused deposition modelling process. β-TCP was doped with Mg and Zn, separately, to improve its sintering kinetics and facilitate fabrication of viable porous scaffolds. Effects of Mg and Zn on sintering kinetics and densification of β-TCP were studied. Fabricated porous scaffolds were tested for their … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
