Use of Conjunctival Grafts and Temporary Tube Implants for Treatment of Teat Sinus Mucosal Injuries
Objectives- Using conjunctival graft to replace experimental mucosal defects of teatsinus.Study- Experimental study.Animals- Five healthy, mature, lactating, Jersey cows.Methods- Conjunct ival mucosal gra fts with teat cannula were evaluated in the repair of experimentalteat sinusmucosal lesions. A 1.5xl em wide circumferential strip of mucosa was resected from each teat in five Jersey cows. Ea...
متن کاملInterface modified polylactic acid/starch/poly ε-caprolactone antibacterial nanocomposite blends for medical applications.
In this study, an optimized interface-modified ternary blend with antibacterial activity based on polylactic acid/starch/poly ε-caprolactone (PLASCL20), mixed with nano hydroxyapatite (nHA) via melt blending. This method results in a homogeneous nanocomposite blend in which the addition of 3% nHA improves the overall properties such as hydrolytic degradation, hydrophilicity, antibacterial activ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging and cochlear implants: compatibility and safety aspects.
With cochlear implants, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has until recently been contraindicated due to excessive magnetic and electromagnetic interference. The aim of this study was to determine the MRI compatibility of the Med-E1 Combi 40/40+ cochlear implant, within a wide range of clinical MRI applications. In vitro experiments on a 1.5 T MR scanner were performed. Torque, force, demagnetiz...
متن کاملSalvage penile prosthetic surgery utilizing temporary malleable implants
The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is an effective erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment modality when oral and injectable therapies fail to achieve satisfactory results. Unfortunately, infection of the prosthetic remains a dreaded complication occurring in a small fraction of patients despite advances in device design and surgical techniques. With a prosthetic infection or erosion, classic m...
متن کاملNovel docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles based on poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide-co-caprolactone) for prostate cancer treatment: formulation, characterization, and cytotoxicity studies
Docetaxel (Dtx) chemotherapy is the optional treatment in patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer, and Dtx-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have the potential to induce durable clinical responses. However, alternative formulations are needed to overcome the serious side effects, also due to the adjuvant used, and to improve the clinical efficacy of the drug.In the presen...
