  2. 11. Multiscale Modelling of Proximal Femur Growth : Importance of Geometry and Influence of Load

    Author : Priti Yadav; Elena Gutierrez Farewik; Marco Viceconti; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bone tissue modeling; deformity; biomechanics; osteogenic index; poroelastic material; octahedral shear stress; hydrostatic stress; fluid velocity; octahedral shear strain; MRI; walking; jumping; sedentation; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Longitudinal growth of long bone occurs at growth plates by a process called endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is affected by both biological and mechanical factors. READ MORE

  4. 12. Hyaluronan Derivatives and Injectable Gels for Tissue Engineering

    Author : Kristoffer Bergman; Tim Bowden; Jöns Hilborn; Jeffrey Hubbell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hyaluronan; Hydrogel; Tissue Engineering; Scaffold; Minimally invasive strategy; Bone morphogenetic protein; Hydroxyapatite; Bone; Cartilage; Tendon; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : The present work describes the preparation of hyaluronan derivatives and hydrogels with potential use in tissue engineering applications. A potentially injectable hydrogel consisting of hyaluronan and collagen was successfully used to grow neurons in vitro by encapsulation of neural stem and progenitor cells. READ MORE

  5. 13. Prospective Applications of Microwaves in Medicine : Microwave Sensors for Orthopedic Monitoring and Burn Depth Assessment

    Author : Syaiful Redzwan Mohd Shah; Robin Augustine; Taco Johan Blokhuis; Luca Roselli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microwave sensors; split ring resonator; biomedical application; orthopedics; lower extremity injuries; craniosynostosis; burn assessment; clinical measurements; tissue dielectric properties; phantom; Engineering Science with specialization in Microwave Technology; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrovågsteknik;

    Abstract : In recent years, the use of microwave techniques for medical diagnostics has experienced impressive developments. It has demonstrated excellent competencies in various modalities such as using non-ionizing electromagnetic waves, providing non-invasive diagnoses, and having the ability to penetrate human tissues within the GHz range.

  6. 14. Nanoscale Osseointegration : Characterization of Biomaterials and their Interfaces with Electron Tomography

    Author : Kathryn Grandfield; Håkan Engqvist; Peter Thomsen; Anders Palmquist; Alexandra Porter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electron tomography; transmission electron microscopy; hydroxyapatite; titanium; titania; bone; implant; osseointegration; interface; mesoporous; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : Bone response is one of the key determining factors in the overall success of biomaterials intended for bone regeneration and osseointegration. Understanding the formation of bone at an implant surface may lead to the improved design of biomaterials for the future. READ MORE

  7. 15. On the determination of diffusion coefficients in bone

    Author : Abdallah Shokry; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kalman filter; Mathematical model; Spatially dependent diffusion; Diffusion in bone; Diffusion coefficient; Conductivity; Elastic modulus; Porous materials;

    Abstract : Diffusion in bone is needed for bone remodeling and bone healing. Understanding the phenomenon is often important for comprehension bone diseases. Mathematical modeling of the diffusion processes is a required prerequisite in the study of this important physical process in living bone tissue. READ MORE
