Formation and mechanics of fire ant rafts as an active self-healing membrane [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The unique ability of fire ants to form a raft to survive flooding rain has enchanted biologists as well as researchers in other disciplines. It has been established during the last decade that an aggregation of fire ants exhibits viscoelasticity with respect to external compression and shearing among numerous unusual mechanical properties. In addition

Dynamic Stabilization with Active Locking Plates Delivers Faster, Stronger, and More Symmetric Fracture-Healing.

open access: yesJournal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2016
BACKGROUND Axial dynamization of fractures can promote healing, and overly stiff fixation can suppress healing. A novel technology, termed active plating, provides controlled axial dynamization by the elastic suspension of locking holes within the plate.

Structured functional regression models for high-dimensional spatial spectroscopy data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
Modeling and analysis of spectroscopy data is an active area of research with applications to chemistry and biology. This paper focuses on analyzing Raman spectra obtained from a bone fracture healing experiment, although the functional regression model for predicting a scalar response from high-dimensional tensors can be applied to any spectroscopy ...

The effectiveness and safety of parathyroid hormone in fracture healing: A meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The very large economic and social burdens of fracture-related complications make rapid fracture healing a major public health goal. The role of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in treating osteoporosis is generally accepted, but the effect of PTH on fracture ...

Self-healing in fractured GaAs nanowires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate a spontaneous self-healing process in fractured GaAs nanowires with a zinc blende structure. The results show that such self-healing can indeed occur via rebonding of Ga and As atoms across the ...

Effectiveness of Teriparatide on Fracture Healing: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Purpose Nowadays, the efficacy of teriparatide in treating osteoporosis was widely accepted, but the discussion about using teriparatide to enhance fracture healing hasn’t come to an agreement.

Accelerated fracture healing with teriparatide [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015
On December 2, 2013, it was called our attention that the case report () contained few paragraphs that bear a likeness to a further review (). This occurred inadvertently when we entrusted the literature and a draft of this review () to others co-authors. Although we were not aware of theses similarities between the case report and this review.

In the quest for the etiology of the delayed union of fractures: the inhibitory role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - a complex pharmacological phenomenon? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Failure of fracture healing is one of the problems that clinical orthopaedics face in practice. This review will examine the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in fracture healing. It is believed that they are inhibitors of the early stages of

Spontaneous healing of an osteochondroma fracture

open access: yesDiagnostic and Interventional Imaging, 2015
Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of bone, usually asymptomatic. Fracture of an osteochondroma is a rare complication and has been recognized as a cause of pain. Treatment of this fracture is controversial and some authors suggest fracture as an indication for surgical excision.
