Modern Definition of Bioactive Glasses and Glass-Ceramics [PDF]
Bioactive glasses (BGs) and glass-ceramics (BGCs) have become a diverse family of materials being applied for treatment of many medical conditions. The traditional understanding of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics pins them to bone-bonding capability without considering the other fields where they excel, such as soft tissue repair.

Progress in phototherapy [PDF]
The purpose of this article is to present a recent advance in phototherapy employed on newborn babies with jaundice. The efficacy of this treatment depends on the intensity of emitted light; it is believed that a dose between 6 -12 nm is necessary. The usefulness of phototherapy in healthy, full-term infants is currently being questioned.
