Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleBone Microarchitecture by Dentistry Digital X-Ray (BµA-DDX) Software: A Pilot Study of the Analysis of Bone Density using Digital Dental X-RaysAdriane Yaeko Togashi, Adair Santa Catarina, Lucas Renato Piana Batistussi, Guilherme CoelhoThe Bone Microarchitecture by Dentistry Digital X-Ray (BµA-DDX) software was designed to determine jaw bone quality using digital dental X-rays. In order to identify patients with a suspicion of low bone density, a system was developed to evaluate bone microarchitecture through the analysis of samples collected in digital panoramic X-rays. The samples were collectedat two sites of the mandible: alveolar … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2016 · 7,471 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationship of Body Composition Parameters with Hip and Fore Arm Bone Mineral Density: An Indian PerspectiveK.B. Kishore Mohan, V. Sapthagirivasan, M. AnburajanProblem statement: The relationship between obesity and osteoporosis has been widely studied and epidemiological evidence shows that obesity is correlated with increased bone mass. Anthropometric factors such as body height and body weight which are related to body mass index should be considered. Approach: We measured whole body fat mass, fat free mass, muscle mass, Body water, percentage fat mass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Bone Adhesive to Produce Particleboards from Stems of Cotton Plant at the Pressing Temperature of 140°CKomi Kadja, Magolmeena Banna, Kokou Esso Atcholi, Komla SandaProblem statement: To value agricultural residues, a study was carried out to investigate mechanical and physical properties of particleboards produced from stems of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) by using bone adhesive. Approach: In order to obtain particleboards with minimum physical and mechanical properties as required in the conventional standards for general purpose particleboards, the optimum pressure temperature and the optimum … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,270 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth of Bone Marrow Derived Osteoblast-Like Cells into Coral Implant Scaffold: Preliminary Study on Malaysian CoralK. A. AL-SalihiProblem statement: Biomaterial fabrication in Malaysia started as a consequence of the demand for cheaper implant materials. Various biomaterials have been developed utilizing local resources like Malaysian coral. Locally processed Malaysian coral need to be complemented with proper evaluation and testing including toxicology, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, physicochemical characterization and in vivo testing. The present study was carried out to assess … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,590 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimultaneous Presence of Growth and Remodeling in the Bone Adaptation TheorySeyyed Amir Hooshiar Ahmedi, Gholamreza Rouhi, Hamidreza Katouzian, Seyyed Ali Hooshiar AhmediMechanical forces acting on bone during growth affect their final shape and strength. Mechanoregulation of bone growth is maybe recognized in embryogenesis, and also in the adaptation of the adult skeleton to changes in mechanical loading. By combining equations describing bone remodeling and growth with an iterative finite element analysis, a computational model to simulate the simultaneous effects of bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,166 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Microcracking Affects Osteoblast Attachment on Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Tissue EngineeringIan O. Smith, Melissa J. Baumann, Eldon D. CaseBone microdamage caused by routine activity plays an important role in triggering targeted and nontargeted bone remodeling. Targeted remodeling occurs near localized areas of microdamage[1-4]. We hypothesize that bone remodeling may be directly and positively influenced by inducing microcracks in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. A study by Case et al. showed microcracking in HA discs having >98% … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,557 accessesView PDF Cite
