BONE-SOFTENING IN GOATS.

A bone chamber study in goats

Optimization of bone-tissue engineering in goats.

Successful bone-tissue engineering (TE) has been reported for various strategies to combine cells with a porous scaffold. In particular, the period after seeding until implantation of the constructs may vary between hours and several weeks. Differences between these strategies can be reduced to (a) the presence of extracellular matrix, (b) the differentiation status of the cells, and (c) the pr...

Softening of Bone; Amputation below the Knee; Recovery

The patient, named J. K. Ram, aged 40, by caste a Goojur, was admitted into hospital with disease of the left ankle-joint. The peculiarities of the disease, not unfrequent in the North-Western Provinces and, I believe, in the Punjab, deserve description. It is confined to the wrist and ankle, and does not seem to invade the larger joints. It consists in softening of the bones, due to partial di...

Dietary Pseudopurpurin Improves Bone Geometry Architecture and Metabolism in Red-Bone Guishan Goats

Red-colored bones were found initially in some Guishan goats in the 1980s, and they were designated red-boned goats. However, it is not understood what causes the red color in the bone, or whether the red material changes the bone geometry, architecture, and metabolism of red-boned goats. Pseudopurpurin was identified in the red-colored material of the bone in red-boned goats by high-performanc...

Shear Localization due to Strain Softening in Side Pressed Cylinders

In this paper, shear localization due to strain softening in sidepressed cylinders, is inverstigated. Shear localization causes formation of macroscopic shear bands which can be obsserved in the metallographic cross-section. In this paper, for the first time a method is presented in which a simple two-slice model is used to study the formation of shear bands. The results obtained form this mode...
