Bioplastics01:27

Bioplastics

15
Bioplastics derived from microbial processes present a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among these, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), particularly polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), have emerged as prominent candidates due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of bacteria, such as Cupriavidus necator and Pseudomonas putida, which naturally accumulate PHAs as intracellular carbon and energy reserves, especially under...

Bioremediation00:46

Bioremediation

22.8K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Biofilms01:29

Biofilms

1.8K
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular polysaccharide matrix attached to surfaces. These microbial consortia can include single or multiple species, providing enhanced survival benefits by forming organized, multilayered structures.The formation of biofilms occurs through four key stages: attachment, colonization, development, and dispersal.During attachment, free-swimming planktonic cells adhere to a surface, often facilitated by...

Bioequivalence: Overview01:16

Bioequivalence: Overview

2.2K
Pharmaceutical equivalents, by definition, are drug products with the same active ingredient in the same quantities, encapsulated in identical dosage forms, and intended for the same administration routes. These pharmaceutical equivalents are deemed bioequivalent if the bioavailability of the active entity in the drug preparations is similar. Moreover, pharmaceutical equivalents demonstrating bioequivalence are also regarded as therapeutically equivalent. This means that when used as directed,...

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

1.2K
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants01:22

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

2.3K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Medical device development

Background:

  • Biomaterials are integral to orthopaedic treatments, requiring surgeons to understand implant performance and patient effects.
  • Past implant improvements sometimes led to adverse biomaterial-related effects, such as wear and corrosion in metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty bearings.
  • Polymers and ceramics show enhanced durability, with improved manufacturing processes reducing fracture risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of understanding biomaterial properties and biological effects for orthopaedic surgeons.
  • To discuss advancements in biomaterials and manufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing.
  • To emphasize the need for rigorous preclinical and clinical evidence before adopting new orthopaedic materials or techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical performance and adverse effects of various orthopaedic biomaterials.
  • Analysis of improvements in polymer and ceramic implant materials.
  • Discussion of emerging technologies like additive manufacturing for custom implants.

Main Results:

  • Adverse effects like wear and corrosion have been observed with certain metal-on-metal implants.
  • Advanced polymers and ceramics demonstrate improved durability and reduced failure rates.
  • Radiation cross-linking and antioxidant doping enhance polyethylene durability for joint prostheses.
  • Additive manufacturing offers potential for patient-specific implants with optimized material properties.

Conclusions:

  • Orthopaedic surgeons must possess a thorough understanding of biomaterial properties and their biological interactions.
  • New or modified biomaterials and manufacturing processes require validation through superior preclinical data and high-quality clinical investigations.
  • Ensuring clear patient benefit is paramount before the clinical implementation of novel orthopaedic materials and technologies.
