An In Vitro Electrochemical Corrosion Study of Coupled Surgical Implant Materials.
The use of surgical implants in the human body is common and increasing in frequency. The materials used in biological applications vary widely according to the specific conditions of use. In cases requiring high strength, resistance to fatigue and wear, the chosen material is often a metallic …

An Investigation on the Corrosion Susceptibilities of Multi-Alloy Total Hip Replacements.
… use of dissimilar alloys for the construction of surgical implants has been strongly discouraged because of the opinion that the combinations of alloys was likely to provoke more rapid corrosion of one alloy. With the advent of electrochemical corrosion analyses, accurate predictions can now be …

Characterization of metal artifacts in diffusion tensor imaging for spinal cord applications
… metal artifact in DTI images for several spinal surgical implants via imaging of phantoms constructed with implements suspended in agar gel to provide a homogeneous surrounding medium for analysis. A cervical spine phantom implanted with pedicle screws was also used to simulate in-vivo imaging. …

Biofilm formation in clinical and laboratory strains of Escherichia Coli and Campylobacter Jejuni
… of catheter lines, artificial joints and other surgical implants is of major medical concern. As many laboratory strains have become accustomed to standardised conditions, they are not necessarily representative of clinical strains. This study investigated the effect of horse blood, human blood …

Two strategies to deepen knowledge the antibiotic resistance related traits in Italian MDR Staphylococci: comparative transcriptomic of two DAP-R/DAP-S MRSA isogenic couples and CRISPR system characterization of pathogenic S. epidermidis
… implicated in endocarditis and infections of surgical implants and it seems to be the source for antibiotic resistance related gene acquisition by S. aureus. A comparative transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq and bioinformatic of two Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus isogenic pairs, the …

Biology, Captive Propagation, and Feasibility of Pearl Culture in the Pink Heelsplitter (Potamilus Alatus) (Say, 1817) (Bivalvia: Unionidae)
… feasibility of pearl production by using two surgical implants (non-nucleated implant = NNI, and image pearl implant = IPI) in two ponds of different nutrient levels (FMCC pond and Duck pond). NNI and IPI pearls with purple or purplish luster were successfully produced in P. alatus. Pearl …

Engineering and evaluation of yeast strains for the production of lactic acid from cellulosic sugars
… industrial uses including as a feedstock for surgical implants, 3D printing, and renewable polyesters. The production of lactic acid from xylose was first achieved by cloning and introduction of a heterologous lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldhA) from the filamentous fungus Rhizopus oryzae into …

Retrieval Analysis of Necropsy Total Hip Replacements: Considerations Beyond the Implant
… The testing for this group of well-functioning implants will be useful as a baseline when comparing the same types of testing for failed implants. </p> <p>Methods. A total of nineteen cadaveric total hip implants were obtained from two sources, the Medical Education and Research Institute …
