Improved femoral neck BMD in older Finnish women between 2002 and 2010.
2013
Abstract Purpose The number of hip fractures among Finns over 50-years of age rose constantly between 1970 and 1997, but since then, there has been a nationwide decline in incidence of hip fractures. One possible explanation, although not the only one, for the declining fracture rates, could be improved bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in femoral neck BMD between older Finnish women born about a decade apart. Methods We compared the baseline data of two population-based samples of home-dwelling 70–80-year-old women who were initially recruited in exercise intervention studies ( N = 216 in Cohort1, and N = 389 in Cohort 2). Femoral neck BMD was …
Dexrazoxane shows cytoprotective effects in zoledronic acid-treated human cells in vitro and in the rabbit tibia model in vivo
2012
Abstract Introduction Bisphosphonates are important and effective drugs in oncology and osteoporosis therapy. They accumulate in the bone matrix becoming released and active by bone resorption. This leads to effective inhibition of tumor cells and bone degradation. A side effect of bisphosphonates similar to other drugs like denosumab is osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). This problem mostly occurs after tooth extraction. We studied the cytoprotectant dexrazoxane known from anthracycline chemotherapy for cytoprotection in nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate treated cells and in the rabbit tibia model to evaluate a possible value in ONJ management. Materials & methods Human osteoblasts (HOB) P2…
Cement augmentation for trochanteric fracture in elderly: A systematic review()
2021
Abstract Background Cement augmentation of internal fixation of hip fracture has reported to improve fracture stability in osteoporotic hip fractures, reducing the risk of cut-out of the sliding screw through the femoral head. The purpose of present study was to perform a systematic literature review on the effects of augmentation technique in patients with osteoporotic hip fractures. Material and methods A comprehensive literature search was systematically performed to evaluate all papers published in English language included in the literature between January 2010 and July 2020, according to the PRISMA 2009 guidelines. In vivo and in vitro studies, case reports, review articles, cadaveric…
The rodent tibia fracture model: A critical review and comparison with the complex regional pain syndrome literature
2018
Abstract Distal limb fracture is the most common cause of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), thus the rodent tibia fracture model (TFM) was developed to study CRPS pathogenesis. This comprehensive review summarizes the published TFM research and compares these experimental results with the CRPS literature. The TFM generated spontaneous and evoked pain behaviors, inflammatory symptoms (edema, warmth), and trophic changes (skin thickening, osteoporosis) resembling symptoms in early CRPS. Neuropeptides, inflammatory cytokines, and nerve growth factor (NGF) have been linked to pain behaviors, inflammation, and trophic changes in the TFM model and proliferating keratinocytes were identified …

Evaluation of a lattice-Boltzmann method for mercury intrusion porosimetry simulations
2004
We have simulated intrusion of a non-wetting liquid into pores of varying shape and size. Simulations were based on the lattice-Boltzmann method and the Shan–Chen multiphase model. The liquid–solid contact angle for pores with circular cross-section was found to be equal to that for pores with square cross-section, and constant even for small pore sizes if the discretised shape of the circular cross-section was taken into account. For comparison, contact angle was also determined for a liquid column descending in a capillary tube, and the results were found to be consistent. Application of the method to mercury intrusion porosimetry is discussed.
Nanocomposites híbridos preparados a partir de soportes silíceos mesoporosos
2015
Esta tesis se ha desarrollado en el marco de la búsqueda de aplicaciones de Materiales Mesoporosos, como son los sólidos de sílice pura: MCM-41, UVM-7 y UVM-11 (xerogel). Estos tres materiales han sido sintetizados mediante el denominado Método de los Atranos. De forma independiente, estos materiales han sido sintetizados, y posteriormente caracterizados, para ser utilizados en tres áreas científicas diferentes, como son: - Como soporte como sistema de almacenamiento y liberación de fármacos (concretamente el Ibuprofeno). - Como soporte de composite de materiales magnéticos (complejo magnético de Niquel). - Como reactivo para la síntesis (junto con moléculas del disacárido sacarosa) de un m…
Optimizing Nanopore-based microbiome sequencing for characterizing biotechnologically-relevant ecosystems
2022
La secuenciación de siguiente generación (NGS) ha cambiado completamente la manera en la que estudiamos el mundo microbiano. A lo largo de los últimos años, las plataformas Illumina han sido las más usadas para secuenciar ADN. No obstante, la secuenciación por nanoporos, un nuevo método impulsado por Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), está incrementando gradualmente su popularidad dadas sus múltiples ventajas sobre las plataformas NGS. Estas ventajas incluyen la portabilidad y la capacidad para generar secuencias largas en tiempo real. A pesar de estos avances, la adopción de la secuenciación ONT se ha visto limitada por la elevada tasa de error asociada a esta tecnología en comparación co…
Modelling the effect of porosity on the mechanical properties of unidirectional composites. The case of thick-walled pressure vessels
2018
International audience; The present article highlights morphological features present in composite pressure vessels. The use of X-ray microtomography provides three-dimensional information about the voids in a large thick-walled type 3 pressure vessel at the mesoscopic scale. The observations show that the porosity structure depends strongly on composite thickness and orientation. A numerical approach is proposed to model realistically the damage phenomena in pressure vessels.
