Is sonic Hedgehog involved in human fracture healing? --a prospective study on local and systemic concentrations of SHH. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) is a new signalling pathway in bone repair. Evidence exist that SHH pathway plays a significant role in vasculogenesis and limb development during embryogenesis.

Intact Glucocorticoid Receptor Dimerization Is Deleterious in Trauma-Induced Impaired Fracture Healing

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Following severe trauma, fracture healing is impaired because of overwhelming systemic and local inflammation. Glucocorticoids (GCs), acting via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), influence fracture healing by modulating the trauma-induced immune response.

Assessment of tibial fracture healing with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry: influence of metallic implants at the fracture site [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Evaluation of the progress of fracture healing traditionally combines manual fracture manipulation with a visual radiographic assessment. This approach can lead to satisfactory healing, but trouble can ensue when the type of fixation compromises the ...

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors in Children and Adolescents—The European Standard Clinical Practice Recommendations

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours initiative, we developed standard clinical practice guidelines for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors, based on comprehensive national and international cohort analyses, literature review, and a final expert consensus conference.

Longitudinal weight and plantar pressure distribution while standing after tibial or malleolar fractures in patients with or without fracture union

open access: yesScientific Reports
Fracture healing is usually monitored by clinical impressions and radiographs. Objective and easy methods for assessing fracture healing without radiation would be beneficial. The aim of this study was to analyse whether weight and plantar pressure while

New Parameters Based on Ground Reaction Forces for Monitoring Rehabilitation Following Tibial Fractures and Assessment of Heavily Altered Gait

open access: yesSensors
Instrumented insoles have created opportunities for patient monitoring via long-term recordings of ground reaction forces (GRFs). As the GRF curve is altered in patients after lower-extremity fracture, parameters defined on established curve landmarks ...

Biomechanical Characteristics of Osteoporotic Fracture Healing in Ovariectomized Rats: A Systematic Review.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Biomechanical tests are widely used in animal studies on osteoporotic fracture healing. However, the biomechanical recovery process is still unknown, leading to difficulty in choosing time points for biomechanical tests and in correctly assessing ...

NPY and CGRP Inhibitor Influence on ERK Pathway and Macrophage Aggregation during Fracture Healing

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Aim: The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of neurotransmitters NPY and CGRP on ERK signaling in fracture healing, and to identify the correlation between macrophage aggregation and fracture healing. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were

Effect of Teriparatide in Fracture Healing in Elderly. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Orthop Case Rep
Introduction: Teriparatide (TPTD), a recombinant form of the biologically active Parathyroid hormone, has been shown to increase bone mass and prevent fractures by increasing serum calcium levels in response to systemic hypocalcemia.

Fracture testing of a self-healing polymer composite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Inspired by biological systems in which damage triggers an autonomic healing response, we have developed a polymer composite materials that can heal itself when cracked. This paper summarizes the self-healing concept for polymeric composite materials and
