Cardiac prostheses: toward permanent implantation
Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1984 The pneumatically actuated total artificial heart (TAH) can maintain normal physiology in man and in experimental animals for several months with extracorporeal pneumatic actuation through the skin. The ultimate goal is the development of a totally implantable cardiac prosthesis that functions for a minimum of two years. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation’

Cortical Response to Acute Implantation of the Utah Optrode Array in Macaque Cortex
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Delivering light deep into the brain over a large volume while causing minimal tissue damage is a major challenge for non‐human primate optogenetics. This study evaluates Utah Optrode Array designs in vivo, revealing how changes in shank geometry, surface texture, and insertion parameters minimize acute damage—offering a path toward high‐precision ...

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Patient satisfaction concerning implant-supported prostheses: an observational study
Brazilian Oral Research, 2015 The aim of this observational study was to assess the degree of patient satisfaction toward implant-supported prostheses. A questionnaire was used with two scales (one consisting of detailed adjectival and the other of numerical responses) regarding ...

Oral health related quality of life in cleft lip and palate patients rehabilitated with conventional prostheses or dental implants [PDF]
, 2015 Cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) is the most common congenital craniofacial abnormality, with a prevalence of 9.92 per 10,000 live births. In treating patients with CLP, oral rehabilitation is definitely a very important phase of the treatment in order to ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The foreign body response (FBR) to biomaterials is primarily driven by macrophages, which often fuse into destructive foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). To address the limited understanding of FBGC formation, a novel microscale core–shell hydrogel 3D model is developed using heterogeneous alginate‐collagen microcapsules with varying stiffness, offering ...

Nickel sensitivity and the implantation of orthopaedic prostheses [PDF]
Contact Dermatitis, 1993 There is no evidence that nickel‐sensitive patients, when given a modern plastic‐to‐steel hip replacement, develop cutaneous reactions or loosening of their prostheses. However, eczema I occasionally seen with static metal prostheses and eruptions sometimes accompanied the use of the older types of joint prosthesis.

In silico evaluation of the thermal stress induced by MRI switched gradient fields in patients with metallic hip implant [PDF]
, 2019 This work focuses on the in silico evaluation of the energy deposed by MRI switched gradient fields in bulk metallic implants and the consequent temperature increase in the surrounding tissues. An original computational strategy, based on the subdivision
