Phase Stability in Rare‐Earth‐Doped Apatites: A Machine Learning Approach

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The thermal behavior and phase stability of rare‐earth‐doped apatites are investigated using high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. A machine learning decision tree model predicts decomposition products and stability regimes with ≈86% accuracy.

Electrical stimulation to promote osseointegration of bone anchoring implants: a topical review

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Electrical stimulation has shown to be a promising approach for promoting osseointegration in bone anchoring implants, where osseointegration defines the biological bonding between the implant surface and bone tissue.

Biocompatibility and healing patterns in experimentally induced canine tibial fractures using Pedicle screw‐Rod external fixation

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that using a Pedicle screw‐Rod configuration for the external fixation of non‐articular tibial osteotomy aligns well with the principles of biological osteosynthesis, resulting in secondary bone healing characterized by callus formation and neovascularization.

Sustainable Walnut Shell‐Filled Polylactic Acid–Hydroxyapatite Hybrid Coatings for Enhanced Corrosion Resistance and Bioactivity of Magnesium Biomaterials

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to the high corrosion rate and limited biocompatibility of commonly used magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, current studies have focused on surface modification techniques. In this study, which is aimed at overcoming these obstacles in biomedical applications, hybrid coatings of PLA‐HA‐Walnut shell (Wshell) were successfully applied to Mg ...

Application of Polymer Nanocomposites in the Design of Prosthetic Sockets That Feature Auxetic Meta‐Structures

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Lightweight prosthetic sockets constructed using auxetic meta‐structures can help reduce physical discomfort when compared to a similar lightweight socket featuring a nonauxetic meta‐structure. The chiral auxetic meta‐structured sockets demonstrated better contact pressure profiles at the interface between the socket and the residual limb.
