Fixation failure of glenoid components is the main cause unsuccessful total shoulder arthroplasties. The characteristics these failures are still not well understood, hence, attempts at improving implant fixation somewhat blind and rate remains high. This lack understanding largely due to fundamental problem that direct observations impossible as inherently embedded within bone. Twenty custom made implants, reflecting various common designs, a specimen set-up was prepared enable observation...
The integration of ethics in engineering education has largely been focused at the curriculum design level. authors posit that this be done accreditation level and investigate how may more extensively incorporated documentation a particular body’s qualification standards. paper proceeds, by means narrative review, to justify an expanded conception teaching within education. It builds synthesis contrasting conceptual approaches proposes framework guide both regulators educators identify...
External fixation is an essential surgical technique for treating trauma, limb lengthening and deformity correction, however infection common, with rates ranging from 4.5 to 100% of cases. Throughout the literature researchers clinicians have highlighted a relationship between excessive movement pin skin increase in patient’s risk infection, however, currently no studies addressed this role pin-movement on pin-site wounds. This preliminary study describes novel vitro model, developed using...
Abstract Purpose Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s are debilitating conditions resulting from a progressive degeneration of nerve cells that is attributed to oxidative stress. Given the role hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S), an endogenously produced signalling molecule involved in regulating stress, exogenous administration H S has been proposed potential treatment strategy. This research study investigation into mechanical properties microneedles loaded AP39 (a...
Abstract Human skin equivalents (HSEs) are three‐dimensional living models of human that prepared in vitro by seeding cells onto an appropriate scaffold. They recreate the structure and biological behaviour real skin, allowing investigation processes such as keratinocyte differentiation interactions between dermal epidermal layers. However, for wider applications, their optical mechanical properties should also replicate those skin. We therefore conducted a pilot study to investigate HSEs....
In this study we have realized the need for an organ culture tooth in situ model to simulate structure especially attachment apparatus. The importance of such a is open avenues investigating regeneration complex and tissues reduce experimental animals dental materials treatments future. aim was develop porcine novel bioreactor suitable future studies periodontal regeneration, including application appropriate physiological loading. Objectives establish tissue viability, maintenance...
Introduction: Flatfoot is a condition commonly seen in children; however, there general disagreement over its incidence, characterization and correction. Painful flatfoot accompanied with musculoskeletal soft tissue problems requires surgery to avoid arthritis adulthood, the most common surgical approach being two osteotomies calcaneus medial cuneiform bones of foot. Objectives: This study focuses on parametrization these understand their bone morphology differences population sample among...
Abstract Integrating ethics in engineering education has now become a recurring item at educational forums and discussions is still growing urgency. It no longer question of whether should be integral to curriculum design but how, who, what why. How can it incorporated? Who teaching ethics? What we teaching? And, more fundamentally, why are teach? The aim this paper present how an internationally curated open source 'Engineering Ethics Toolkit' was developed by educators, for educators embed...
Manufacturing significantly contributes to global warming due its substantial carbon emissions. United Nations sustainable development goals support the reduction of emissions in manufacturing sector, which can be accomplished by making process with a minimal footprint. This is also appropriate for novel processes such as additive manufacturing. study introduces investigation additively manufactured specimen. Prior research delves into examining impact on energy consumption solid specimens...
Migration of an implanted prosthesis due to aseptic loosening is difficult detect without regular imaging. In this paper, a low-cost, non-radiographic, robust diagnostic technique presented, which can the migration humeral component elbow prosthesis. The system consists single magnet sensor configuration and data are based on variation in magnetic field. was enclosed titanium alloy embedded at reference point bone ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). A layer cement then placed...
Definite glenoid implant loosening is identifiable on radiographs, however, identifying early still eludes clinicians. Methods to monitor in vitro have not been validated clinical imaging. This study investigates the correlation between measures and CT images. Ten cadaveric scapulae were implanted with a pegged fatigue tested failure. Each cyclically loaded superiorly scanned every 20,000 cycles until failure progressive radiolucent lines. Superior inferior rim displacements also measured. A...
The majority of orthopaedic screws are designed, tested and manufactured by existing orthopaedics companies predominantly developed with healthy bone in mind. timescales costs involved the development a new screw design, for example, osteoporotic bone, high. In this study, standard wood were used to analyse concept using three-dimensional printing, or rapid prototyping, as viable stage design screw. Six reverse engineered printed polymeric material stereolithography. Three designs also...
Due to the complexity of structure tooth periodontium, regeneration full attachment is not a trivial task. There also gap in models that can represent human vitro and vivo. The aim this study was develop bilayered construct simulated periodontal ligament attached alveolar bone, for purpose tissue investigation physiological orthodontic loading. Two types materials were used construct: sol-gel 60S10Mg derived scaffold, representing hard component commercially available Geistlich Bio-Gide®...
