Modeling retinal prosthesis mechanics
2015Degenerative retinal diseases such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Age-Related Macular Degeneration are, together, one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. Retinal prostheses bypass the degenerated cells and apply electrical stimulation directly to the visual neural pathway, creating an artificial sensation of sight in subjects with ...

Mechanical failure of a St. Jude Medical prosthesis
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991Abstract The St. Jude Medical (SJM) prosthetic cardiac valve is a low-profile, bileaflet mechanical valve with an excellent record of durability and a low overall complication rate.1–3 Mechanical failure is a rare occurrence with this valve.4 We report a case of mechanical failure of a SJM prosthesis due to leaflet fracture with subsequent ...

Cellular events in the mechanisms of prosthesis loosening
Clinical Materials, 1991The functional restoration of a joint damaged by trauma or disease is obtained by prosthetic surgery. In particular the implantation of hip prostheses is regarded as routine in orthopedic surgery and thorough research has been developed in this field.

Mechanical complications associated with mentor inflatable penile prosthesis
Urology, 1991The Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis was developed in an attempt to decrease the mechanical failure rate of the various prostheses' components. We herein report on the reliability of the device in 46 men implanted with the Mentor device from December 1982 to June 1987.

Mechanical Failure of the Repiphysis Expandable Prosthesis
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2010The current treatment of osteosarcoma includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by wide resection of the tumor and postoperative chemotherapy. While amputation of the extremity was once the mainstay of treatment, medical and surgical developments over the last several decades have led to the success of limb-salvage surgery1,2.

[Mechanical fatigue of an arterial prosthesis].
Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 1984This case study reports the analysis of a knitted polyester arterial prosthesis that was implanted in an 18-year old patient for five years following a bicycle accident which injured the left external iliac artery. In spite of the prosthesis, the patient continued to participate in competitive cycling.

Mentor inflatable penile prosthesis: A reliable mechanical device
Urology, 1986Forty-six patients have undergone implantation of a penile prosthesis using the Mentor inflatable device. All patients are at least six months postimplantation, with the average follow-up being twenty-one months. Six patients have required reoperation due to technical problems, but there have been no mechanical failures.

Mechanical and systems approach facilitating facial prosthesis production
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1979A method of facilitating facial prosthesis production using specially designed equipment and a color notation record has been described. Application to facial and auricular prosthesis production has been discussed. Advantages in time saved and staff utilization have been realized through the use of this approach.
