AN IRRIGATOR REGULATOR.

Analysis of Osteoactivin in Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA) Wastewater as an Osteogenic Factor for Bone Regeneration

Safe Irrigator Syringe: One Step Forward in Wound Cleansing

Background: Wound healing process includes complex phases. Many studies have highlighted the importance of sterile wound washing in the healing process. Non-sterile wound cleansing could delay its healing and result in heavy costs for the health system. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and applicability of a new designed device, Safe Irrigator Syringe, in wound w...

DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF A HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR

In this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. To analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. Because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

Treatment of large segmental bone defects with reamer-irrigator-aspirator bone graft: technique and case series.

Treatment of large segmental defects using conventional autogenous iliac crest bone graft can be limited by volume of cancellous bone and donor site morbidity. The reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) technique allows access to a large volume of cancellous bone graft containing growth factors with potency equal to or greater than autograft material from the iliac crest. The purpose of this study wa...

WTX: an unexpected regulator for p53.

The WTX gene is frequently lost or mutated in Wilms tumor. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Kim et al. (2012) identify WTX modulation of p53 tumor-suppressor activity through regulation of p53 acetylation. Therefore, WTX differentially regulates the oncogenic β-catenin pathway and the tumor-suppressing p53 pathway.
