Mechanically Tunable Bone Scaffolds: In Vivo Hardening of 3D‐Printed Calcium Phosphate/Polycaprolactone Inks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D bone scaffold with osteogenic properties and capable of hardening in vivo is developed. The scaffold is implanted in a ductile state, and a phase transformation of the ceramic induces the stiffening and strengthening of the scaffold in vivo. Abstract Calcium phosphate 3D printing has revolutionized customized bone grafting.

Defining and improving postoperative care [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014
Although much is known regarding the importance of postoperative care, the surveillance of patients after 30 days from the surgical procedure can be improved. It must be recognized that mortality between 30 and 90 days exceeds what is commonly considered "operative mortality"—death within 30 days of surgery.
