Utility of ultrasound imaging in monitoring fracture healing in rat femur: Comparison with other imaging modalities [PDF]
Bone ReportsObjective: Fractures are common injuries and various imaging modalities are employed to diagnose and monitor bone union. However, the follow-up of fracture healing using ultrasound imaging (US) remains a topic of debate.

A novel strain-based bone-fracture healing algorithm is able to predict a range of healing outcomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyFracture healing is a complex process which sometimes results in non-unions, leading to prolonged disability and high morbidity. Traditional methods of optimising fracture treatments, such as in vitro benchtop testing and in vivo randomised controlled ...

Measurement of the dynamic axial load-share ratio in vivo could indicate sufficient callus healing in external fixators [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground Fracture healing is commonly evaluated through physical examination and radiographic results. However, these methods rely on the surgeons’ subjective experience, without including the objective biomechanical properties of the bony callus. This

Association of fracture configuration and callus formation with a concentration of proinflammatory cytokines in children with long bone fractures [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2021 Background/Aim. The inflammatory response is of utmost importance in bone healing, but the precise role of cells and cytokines remains unclear. In our study, we examined the as-sociation between interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis fac-tors alpha (TNF ...

Cumulative generation of maximal entanglement between spectrally distinct qubits using squeezed light [PDF]
Phys. Rev. A 104, 052407 (2021), 2021 We demonstrate how to create maximal entanglement between two qubits that are encoded in two spectrally distinct solid-state quantum emitters embedded in a waveguide interferometer. The optical probe is provided by readily accessible squeezed light, generated by parametric down-conversion.

Association of bone fracture type and degree of callus formation with leptin concentration in children with long bone fractures [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2021 Background/Aim. Recent studies indicate that adipokines have an important role in bone physiology and pathology. Recent data indicate that adipokine leptin functions as a regulator of bone growth at multiple levels, systemically and locally.
