Microwave assisted synthesis and characterisation of a zinc oxide/tobacco mosaic virus hybrid material. An active hybrid semiconductor in a field-effect transistor device

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been employed as a robust functional template for the fabrication of a TMV/zinc oxide field effect transistor (FET). A microwave based approach, under mild conditions was employed to synthesize stable zinc oxi...

Transcutaneous permeation enhancer complex for polymer-based transdermal patches

Selecting a permeation enhancer complex (PEC) for inclusion in a matrix-type transdermal patch (TP) is a primary task in creating a new dosage form with percutaneous administration. Objective: to develop a biologically safe PEC capable of r...

Study of the corrosion properties of powder rolled Ti–6Al–4V alloy applied in the biomedical implants

Great efforts have been made in fabricating Ti–6Al–4V alloys that can be used in the biomedical implants industry. The increasing interest in using fabricated Ti–6Al–4V alloys in industrial applications is mainly due to the properties of al...

Quality Monitoring of Porous Zein Scaffolds: A Novel Biomaterial

Our previous studies have shown that zein has good biocompatibility and good mechanical properties. The first product from a porous scaffold of zein, a resorbable bone substitute, has passed the biological evaluation of medical devices (ISO...

Antibacterial effects of nano-imprinted moth-eye film in practical settings.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies report that surfaces displaying micrometer- or nanometer-sized undulating structures exhibit antibacterial effects. In previous work, we described the use of an advanced nanofabrication technique to generate an art...

Hybrid Coatings Based on Polyvinylpyrrolidone/Polyethylene Glycol Enriched with Collagen and Hydroxyapatite: Incubation Studies and Evaluation of Mechanical and Physiochemical Properties

Coating materials offers an intriguing solution for imparting inert implants with additional bioactive characteristics without changing underlying parameters such as mechanical strength. Metallic implants like endoprostheses or polymeric im...

A biomechanical comparison of su5ture with a lateral plate and cerclage wire and suture constructs for lesser tuberosity osteotomy repair in stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.

Impacts of wild blueberries on weight regulation, appetite, and cardiometabolic biomarkers of adults: A randomized clinical trial.

Design and characterize of kirigami-inspired springs and the application in vertebrae exoskeleton for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis brace treatment

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common condition that affects children between the age of 10 and young adulthood. Rigid brace treatment is an effective treatment to control the progression of spinal deformity. However, it limits mobili...

Guidelines for information about therapy experiments: a proposal on best practice for recording experimental data on cancer therapy

Abstract Background Biology, biomedicine and healthcare have become data-driven enterprises, where scientists and clinicians need to generate, access, validate, interpret and integrate different kinds of experimental and patient-related dat...

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at the Sociedad de Cirugía de Bogotá - Hospital de San José, Bogotá, 2023-2025.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy and antiphospholipid syndrome: a rare association revealed by a right ventricular thrombus. A case report.

Long-term salinity is associated with deteriorated soil properties, rhizosphere microbiome restructuring, and elevated wheat crown rot: evidence from a 19-year gradient experiment and a 3-year remediation verification.

Generation Scotland: Linking all the records we can

Objectives We started a family-based genetic epidemiology study in 2006-11 which recruited ~24,000 adult volunteers from ~7000 families across Scotland with consent for follow-up through medical record linkage and re-contact. In 2022-23 we ...

Chemosensory-Related Genes in Marine Copepods

Living organisms deeply rely on the acquisition of chemical signals in any aspect of their life, from searching for food, mating and defending themselves from stressors. Copepods, the most abundant and ubiquitous metazoans on Earth, possess...
