How to...mechanically erupt a palatal canine.
(2010-12)
Management of ectopic permanent maxillary canines represents one of the greatest challenges to orthodontists. This paper outlines a variety of techniques and mechanics which may facilitate expedient, predictable and safe ...
Failure mechanisms in denture adhesives.
(2016-05)
OBJECTIVE: The mechanical properties of bio adhesives in oral care application are expected to be critical in defining the stability and release of devices such as dentures from the oral tissue. A multiscale experimental ...
In vitro quantification of lactate in Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS) samples.
(2019-07)
Continuous measurement of lactate levels in the blood is a prerequisite in intensive care patients who are susceptible to sepsis due to their suppressed immune system and increased metabolic demand. Currently, there exists ...
Core-independent approach for polymer brush-functionalised nanomaterials with a fluorescent tag for RNA delivery.
(2019-12-07)
Here we describe a core-independent approach enabling the grafting of polymer brushes from the surface of nanomaterials and microparticles for oligonucleotide delivery. This method is based on the adsorption of a polyelectrolyte ...
Weight-bearing in ankle fractures: An audit of UK practice.
(2019-06)
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this national study was to audit the weight-bearing practice of orthopaedic services in the National Health Service (NHS) in the treatment of operatively and non-operatively treated ankle ...
Comparison between direct and reverse electroporation of cells in situ: a simulation study.
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-03)
The discovery of the human genome has unveiled new fields of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, which has produced paradigm shifts on how to study disease mechanisms, wherein a current central focus is the understanding ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Magnetization: Magnetic Multilayer Microcapsule Uptake, Toxicity, Impact on Functional Properties, and Perspectives for Magnetic Delivery.
(2016-12)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in cell therapy due to their convenience, multiline differentiation potential, reproducible protocols, and biological properties. The potential of MSCs to impregnate magnetic ...
Analysis of tenodesis techniques for treatment of scapholunate instability using the finite element method.
(2017-12)
Chronic scapholunate ligament (SL) injury is a common disorder affecting the wrist. Despite advances in surgical techniques used to treat this injury, SL gap re-emergence may occur postoperatively. This paper presents an ...
Physico-chemical characterization of Antheraea mylitta silk mats for wound healing applications.
(2017-09-04)
In the field of plastic reconstructive surgery, development of new innovative matrices for skin repair is in demand. The ideal biomaterial should promote attachment, proliferation and growth of cells. Additionally, it ...
