Bone graft expanders: filling the void.
Approximately 500,000 bone graft procedures are performed each year in the United States. The surge in the demand for graft material is largely the result of an increase in the number of spinal fusion procedures being performed. In 2001, only 22,000 bone donors existed worldwide, suggesting a shortage of available allograft in the future. This has led to the growing demand for bone graft substi...
متن کاملGenotype-phenotype correlations: filling the void.
C lassical Mendelian genetics often conjure the image of a well-defined mutation in the DNA sequence that causes a disruption in gene function and characteristic phenotype. However, Mendelian traits can often behave like complex disease traits. One level of complexity is that even a specific mutation may be associated with a wide spectrum of symptoms, with expression perhaps modified by the eff...
متن کاملNeuronal nicotinic receptors: filling the void?
EFFORTS DURING THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS have enabled an enhanced level of understanding of urinary bladder physiology and pathophysiology, with continued exploitation of muscarinic receptors as drug targets, and the identification of novel molecular underpinnings of pathways such as C fiber afferents and the vanilloid TrpV1 receptors, the noncholinergic nonadrenergic mechanisms and P2X receptors ...
متن کاملQuantizing the Void: Extending Web3D for Space-Filling Haptic Meshes
In this paper we summarize the progress of the Web3D scene graph model, and associated standards, specifically Extensible 3D (X3D) in the domain of medical simulation. Historically, the Web3D nodesets have focused on the representation and rendering of point, line or surface geometry. More recently, significant progress in X3D Volume rendering has been made available through the co-operative DI...
متن کاملFilling the Silent Void: Genetic Therapies for Hearing Impairment
The inner ear cytoarchitecture forms one of the most intricate and delicate organs in the human body and is vulnerable to the effects of genetic disorders, aging, and environmental damage. Owing to the inability of the mammalian cochlea to regenerate sensory hair cells, the loss of hair cells is a leading cause of deafness in humans. Millions of individuals worldwide are affected by the emotion...
