Relapse after Orthodontic-Surgical Treatment: A Retrospective Longitudinal Study ✏️ João Matos et al. 🔗 https://brnw.ch/21wX941 Viewed: 6819; Cited: 2 Long-term stability is a crucial point in order to keep the patient’s aesthetic and functional balance. The aim of this study was to evaluate dental and skeletal relapse in patients who underwent orthodontic-surgical treatment. This retrospective study included 25 patients who corrected their dentofacial deformity through orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. The dental casts and lateral cephalograms were evaluated prior to orthodontic treatment (T0), final of orthodontic-surgical treatment (T1) and long-term retention phase (T2). The Wilcoxon test with p-value corrected by the Benjamini–Hochberg method was used to assess differences between the groups. The influence of retention duration was assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis method... University of Coimbra #mdpisymmetry #orthodontics #osteotomy

Our new paper, led by Areli Munive as the first author, has been published in Biomedical Materials: “Particle stabilised high internal phase emulsion scaffolds with interconnected porosity facilitate cell migration.” https://lnkd.in/djRt_AEP The study investigates how pore interconnectivity in high internal phase emulsion (HIPE)-derived scaffolds influences cell migration and osteogenic differentiation. It is demonstrated that not only pore size but also the degree of interconnectivity plays a crucial role in scaffold design for bone tissue engineering.

A Brief Overview of the Evolution of Splints and Casts in Medical History, Specifically Persian Medicine https://lnkd.in/d2pxtBUg Conclusion: A careful study of ancient books will sometimes reveal traces of the use of today's techniques in the past. Although their report is focused on contemporary centuries and a new method has been introduced, their use has been recorded in past centuries. For instance, the delayed splint technique, named after George Keynes (1892-1979), and the application of Plaster of Paris, named after Antonius Mathijsen in 1852, was introduced in orthopedic science. This makes it necessary to search and analyze past medical books in various branches of modern medical knowledge to correctly teach the older ones and preserve the identity of medical schools.

Despite enormous progress in the past two decades, the intentional control of bionic prostheses remains a challenge and the subject of intensive research. Now, scientists at the Medical University of Vienna and Imperial College London have developed a new method for precisely detecting the nerve signals remaining after an arm amputation and utilizing them to control an artificial arm. The study results, published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, could form the basis for the development of the next generation of prostheses.

🧠 The Optic Nerve: One Topic, Three Different Exams 👀 Think you know the optic nerve? Each exam tests it in a very different way. Understanding the concept is far more powerful than rote memorization. 🔬 ICO Basic Sciences: The “What is it?” question. Focus on anatomy — structure, blood supply, and visual pathway. Expect diagrams, labels, and fundamental facts. 👁️ ICO Clinical: The “What do you see?” question. Now it’s about applying knowledge. A fundus photo of glaucomatous cupping, for example — you’ll need to recognize the signs and link them to diagnosis. 📈 FRCS Viva/OSCE: The “What does it mean?” question. Here you interpret. A visual field printout could appear, and you’ll need to explain the defect, its significance, and outline your management. ✨ Passing isn’t about memorizing one slide — it’s about understanding how they all connect. That’s why our courses are different. We don’t just teach topics; we teach you how to pass the exam in front of you. ✅ ICO Basic & Visual Sciences ✅ ICO Clinical Ophthalmology ✅ FRCSG Parts 1, 2 & 3 (Viva & OSCE) 📌 Stop studying endlessly.

Pleased to announce the publication of our next research in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials , titled: "Developing Models to Predict Mechanical Behavior of PCL/PHBV Composites for Tissue Engineering: A Response Surface Methodology Study ". Abstract A combination of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and Polycaprolactone (PCL) has always been recommended for bone tissue engineering; however, different polymer ratios and porosities exhibit distinct physicochemical and mechanical properties. Since bone tissues vary in mechanical demands, a reliable predictive model can guide scaffold design before laboratory fabrication, reducing both cost and time for researchers. This study proposes numerical models using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) alongside an experimental study to evaluate PHBV/PCL blends with varying porosities. https://lnkd.in/dhrKpfZn #Largis, #Biomedical_Engineering, #UQAC, #Tissue_Engineering

Proud to share our recently published collaborative research titled “Developing Models to Predict Mechanical Behavior of PCL/PHBV Composites for Tissue Engineering: A Response Surface Methodology Study.” It was a great experience working with such a talented team on this exciting project. Our study provides valuable insights into optimizing biodegradable polymer composites for tissue engineering applications.

Proud to share our new open-access publication: DED-LB manufactured Ti–6Al–4V–4Cu alloy: materials development, characterization, and in vivo biocompatibility. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dUzWjz3R In this interdisciplinary study, we explored how directed energy deposition (DED-LB) with an annular laser beam (ALB) can be used to fabricate a novel Ti–6Al–4V–4Cu alloy, a promising material for biomedical use due to its excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical stability, and in vivo biocompatibility. To evaluate its biological safety, disc-shaped implants were inserted subcutaneously in mice, and mice and their heamatological and other clinical signs were then monitored closely over 56 days, representing a chronic effect, translatable to humans. The results were remarkable: the alloy was well tolerated, showed no systemic metal release, and integrated seamlessly with surrounding tissues, confirming its biocompatibility and systemic safety. Our study highlights the strong potential of DED-LB–fabricated titanium alloys for future orthopaedic and biomedical implant applications. The research was a true team effort between Slovenian institutions: - University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering - Jožef Stefan Institute, Department of Physical and Organic Chemistry, and Department of Environmental Sciences - University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Animal Science - Valdoltra Orthopaedic Hospital A wonderful example of how engineering, materials science, and animal research come together to advance biomedical innovation. #Orthopaedics #Biomaterials #ImplantResearch #BiomedicalEngineering #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #TitaniumAlloy #OrthopaedicImplants #Biocompatibility #MaterialScience #InVivoStudy #TranslationalResearch #ScienceFromSlovenia #Collaboration #Innovation University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty University of Ljubljana, Faculty Of Mechanical Engineering Jožef Stefan Institute - Department of Physical and Organic Chemistry (K3) Jozef Stefan Institute Ortopedska bolnišnica Valdoltra Ankaran Slovenia
