How to Safely Use Neodymium Countersunk Magnets
Neodymium countersunk magnets are magnets shaped like rings with a hole in the middle. Their magnetic force is very strong despite the size of the magnet. They are known to be five to seven times stronger than ceramic (hard ferrite) magnets. The countersunk neodymium magnets have many domestic and commercial uses. They can only work with countersunk screws as they are very brittle and fragile ...

Programmed Drug Release of rhBMP-2 for Bone Healing
Summary: Non-union of bone fractures can cause pain and disabilities. Amongst certain fracture types, in specific age groups, the incidence of non-union is over 8% in the United States and over 3.6% of all fractures in the UK. Fracture non-unions have lifelong consequences and a debilitating impact in patients' life. Bone-grafts, allografts and xenograft are currently used to treat bone ...

The development of nanoparticulate materials for biodegradable bone fracture plates: (I)
A cost effective route for the production of nanoparticulate calcium carbonate with high phase purity, a narrow particle size range and low tendency for agglomeration represents a crucial stage in the development of degradable nanocomposite materials for the manufacture of fracture fixation plates. In this study, the size, morphology and zeta potential of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitated ...

Application of Orthopedic Insoles in Sports Football
Mechanical disorders of the foot are very common among professional football players. The common foot injury is plantar fasciitis caused by excessive pronation. Another common injury of professional football players is sesamoid osteitis. Because the injured part is below the first plantar column, it has a great impact on football players. The main causes of sesamoid osteitis are excessive ...

Diabetes: Medications, Treatments, and Remedies
Lifestyle can have a big impact on how your body handles blood glucose and sometimes a change in habits and activities is all that’s needed to prevent or better manage diabetes. But if changes in lifestyle aren’t enough to keep blood sugar levels normal, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower insulin levels or insulin therapy. We’ll discuss here the most often ...

Polysaccharides Function as Backbone for Embryonic Osteogenesis
Osteogenesis, or new bone formation, begins in the early stages of embryonic development and continues postnatally until skeletal maturity is reached in early adulthood. Osteogenesis reoccurs in the event of bone trauma, such as a fracture or surgically created defect. Bone mass can also increase in response to chronic weight bearing from daily use or decrease due to a lack of movement or applied ...

Huateng Pharma Develops Intermediates of Carfilzomib For Multiple Myeloma
Carfilzomib, a proteasome inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma (multiple myeloma, MM) is a malignant tumor originating from the B cell lineage, characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow microenvironment, causing fractures and bone marrow failure, and is the second most common blood system ...

Effects of supervised high-intensity resistance and impact training or machine-based isometric training on regional bone geometry and strength in middle-aged and older men with low bone mass: The LIFTMOR-M semi-randomised controlled trial
Abstract Introduction: Few data exist on the effects of bone-targeted exercise on geometric and biomechanical indices of bone strength in men. The Lifting Intervention For Training Muscle and Osteoporosis Rehabilitation for Men (LIFTMOR-M) trial was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two novel, supervised, twice-weekly, high-intensity exercise programs in middle-aged and older ...

The influence of coating technology on the mechanical performance of montmorillonite nanoclay reinforced acrylic bone cement
One of the primary reasons for joint replacement failure is fracture of the bone cement mantle. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of improving the dispersion of montmorillonite nanoclay in acrylic bone cement (by using coating technology) on the mechanical properties of the cured nanocomposite bone cement. Statistically significant improvements were found in the fracture ...

Field Orthopaedics gets FDA approval for world’s smallest orthopaedic screw
The Brisbane-based designer of the world’s smallest orthopaedic screw has invoiced US hospital suppliers $900,000 in the three weeks since the device gained Food & Drug Administration approval, and he hopes it can soon be made in Brisbane too. Field Orthopaedics, founded in 2016 by former Army doctor Chris Jeffery alongside a team of doctors and engineers including hand surgeon Greg ...

Peptides for Osteoporosis Research
Introduction to OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is a systemic multi-causal skeletal disease that is prone to fractures due to changes in systemic bone mass and microstructure of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility. Osteoporosis is a type of disease that is difficult to cure. According to the etiology, it can be divided into primary osteoporosis, secondary osteoporosis and idiopathic ...

HBOT for Complementary Therapy
If you’re considering HBOT, it’s important to understand the benefits and risks this therapy entails. The treatment should be discussed with a certified healthcare professional to develop a plan of action based on scientific evidence and tailored to your exact condition. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used as complementary therapy to address several medical problems. The theory ...

An autonomically-healed PMMA bone cement: influence of the crystal size of Grubbs' catalyst on fracture toughness and polymerisation rate
In this study, it was shown that the concept of autonomic healing of a neat polymeric material, which was introduced by White et al. (2001) could be applied to poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement. The bone cement brand used – Surgical Simplex®P – is one that is widely used in cemented arthroplasties; the healing agent used was 2.0 wt.% dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), encapsulated in poly ...
