Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a significant complication for wounded warriors with traumatic limb loss. Although this pathologic condition negatively impacts the general population, ectopic bone has been observed higher frequency service members injured in Iraq and Afghanistan due to blast injuries. Several factors, including insult, bioburden, tourniquet wound vacuum usage, fractures or fragments have associated increased HO members. A large combat-relevant animal model needed further...
ABSTRACT The skin/implant interface of osseointegrated (OI) implants is susceptible to infection, causing excess pain, increased morbidity, and possibly implant removal. Novel distal femoral OI with binary nitride coatings have been developed little physiological modeling collect microbiological evidence resistance bacterial attachment. This in vitro study evaluated a Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy coated TiNbN treated low plasticity burnishing (LPB) assess attachment biofilm formation...
Orthodontic retention has been proposed as a life-long commitment for patients who desire to maintain straight teeth. However, the presence of foreign material increases risk bacterial colonization and caries formation, which Streptococcus mutans is key contributor. Multiple studies have assessed ability silver be added base plate resist attachment S. mutans. it does not appear that long-term washout in connection with biofilm growth under physiologically relevant conditions taken into...
