Editorial : Materials Science of Bioceramic Coatings: An Editorial

نویسنده

  • Robert B. Heimann
چکیده

Presently, the development of novel ceramic materials with improved biomedical functions is at the forefront of health-related issues in many countries. Arguably, research into bioceramics including coatings for endoprosthetic implants has reached a level of involvement and sophistication comparable only to developments ongoing in the realm of electronic ceramics [1]. Despite the fact that calcium phosphate-based coatings deposited on hip, knee and dental implants as well as bone screws and osteosynthetic devices have an impressive history of clinical success, the quest for improving the longevity of implants and to impart them with better physiological properties is high up on the agenda of numerous research groups around the world. The contributions in this topical issue of The Open Biomedical Engineering Journal attest to these developments.

Osseoconductive and Corrosion-Inhibiting Plasma-Sprayed Calcium Phosphate Coatings for Metallic Medical Implants

During the last several decades, research into bioceramic coatings for medical implants has emerged as a hot topic among materials scientists and clinical practitioners alike. In particular, today, calcium phosphate-based bioceramic materials are ubiquitously used in clinical applications to coat the stems of metallic endoprosthetic hips as well as the surfaces of dental root implants. Such imp...

JALDA, therefore, would like to show inclination towards the view that the reality of the world is not a fixed entity standing out there to be measured by our pre-fabricated ‘scientific’ instruments. In line with Haghshenas’ argumentation, not only can theories and instruments shrink to ornamental entities but also they can turn into what Karl Popper calls pseudo-science, knowledge of an ‘ideol...

Handing the Microphone to Women: Changes in Gender Representation in Editorial Contributions Across Medical and Health Journals 2008-2018

The editorial materials in top medical and public health journals are opportunities for experts to offer thoughts that might influence the trajectory of the field. To date, while some studies have examined gender bias in the publication of editorial materials in medical journals, none have studied public health journals. In this perspective, we studied the gender ratio ...
