Sculpting the Future of Bone: The Evolution of Absorbable Materials in Orthopedics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the current status of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic absorbable materials in orthopedic applications, and highlights several innovative strategies designed to enhance mechanical performance, control degradation, and promote bioactivity. We also discuss the progress and translational potential of absorbable materials in treating

Peptide‐Induced Ferroelectricity in Charge‐Transfer Supramolecular Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired supramolecular charge‐transfer amphiphiles self‐assemble into nanoribbons in water, where peptide chirality‐induced symmetry breaking generates robust ferroelectricity across multiple systems. These water‐processable organic ferroelectrics also enhance neuronal outgrowth and electrophysiological maturity, offering a versatile strategy for ...

Detecting patients with low skeletal bone mass

Journal of Dentistry, 2002
The object of this study was to determine the relative usefulness of clinical and radiographic indices in the diagnosis of patients with low skeletal bone mass amongst 135 healthy perimenopausal women, aged 45-55 years, attending for routine dental treatment.Bone mineral density was measured for the spine and femoral neck, using dual energy X-ray ...

The Association Between Cysteine, Bone Turnover, and Low Bone Mass

Calcified Tissue International, 2007
With the identification of hyperhomocysteinemia as a risk factor for developing osteoporosis, the contribution of thiols metabolically linked with homocysteine (tHcy) may be of importance. Cysteine (Cys) is formed from tHcy and is involved in bone metabolism via incorporation into collagen and cysteine protease enzymes.We investigated the association ...

Differential Diagnosis: Low Bone Mass

1998
Low bone mass is necessary but not sufficient for osteoporosis and fracture. It is the major contributor to the risk of fracture in an individual patient, but other factors also come into play. These include age, previous fracture, family history of fracture, and frequency of falls.

LOW BONE MASS IN CHILDREN WITH MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA

Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, 2007
The aim of this work was to study the effect of disease process on bone mass and calcium homeo-stasis in children with malignant lymphoma at diagnosis, 3 months after starting chemotherapy, and after 1 year. Evaluation of lumber vertebrae (L2-L4) bone mineral density using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and calcium homeostasis parameters and bone ...

Drug Treatment of Low Bone Mass and Other Bone Conditions in Pediatric Patients

Pediatric Drugs, 2022
Osteoporosis may affect young individuals, albeit infrequently. In childhood, bone mass increases, reaching its peak between the second and third decades; then, after a period of stability, it gradually declines. Several conditions, including genetic disorders, chronic diseases, and some medications, can have an impact on bone homeostasis. Diagnosis in
