Clinical outcome of cemented implants to revision total hip replacement (THR) is not as satisfactory as primary THR, due to the loss of bone stock and normal trabecular pattern. This study evaluated a bioactive bone cement, strontium-containing hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) bone cement, in a goat revision hip hemi-arthroplasty model, and compared outcomes with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement...

The effects of ash and slag from a biomass power plant on the compressive strength, setting time fluidity pastes Portland cement (P.O) sulfoaluminate (SAC) were studied, hydration products microstructure at age 7 days analyzed via XRD, SEM other test methods. results show that strength composite cementitious material decreases, prolongs increases with increase in content plant. microscopic anal...

OBJECTIVES Favourable results for collarless polished tapered stems have been reported, and cement creep due to taper slip may be a contributing factor. However, the ideal cement thickness around polished stems remains unknown. We investigated the influence of cement thickness on stem subsidence and cement creep. METHODS We cemented six collarless polished tapered (CPT) stems (two stems each ...

OBJECTIVE To compare biomechanical strength, interface quality, and effects of bone healing in bone-implant interfaces that were untreated or treated with calcium phosphate cement (Ca-cement), magnesium phosphate cement (Mg-cement), or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in horses. ANIMALS 6 adult horses. PROCEDURES 4 screw holes were created (day 0) in each third metacarpal and third metatarsal ...

The climatic change such as the global warming is one of important international problem. On field construction materials, environmental-conscious concrete which are CO2 reduction from materials advance development and practical application. Mostly these techniques use equivalent for type C blended cement that used a large amount mineral admixtures substitution cement. However, only underground...

This study compared the mechanical strength of commercially prepared antibiotic bone cement (Simplex With Tobramycin; Stryker, Mahwah, NJ), cement with generic tobramycin (Pharma-Tek, Huntington, NY) blended in by the orthopedic nursing staff, and standard nonantibiotic bone cement. The results showed an approximate 36% decrease in the strength of the cement with hand-mixed generic tobramycin, ...

Some Problems on High Strength Concrete for Prestressing by Kanji YAMAZAKI (Research Laboratory of Nihon Cement Co., Ltd., Tokyo) This paper describes some problems on high strength concrete studied in our laboratory in recent years. Summary of this report is as follows: (1) In order to make high strength concrete for prestressing, it is necessary to lower the water-cement ratio. But, in the ca...

The major drawback of cement-retained restorations is the extrusion of the excess cement into the peri-implant sulcus, with subsequent complications. Insufficient removal of the excess cement may initiate a local inflammatory process, which may lead to implant failure. This article presents a method of controlling cement flow on implant abutments, minimizing the excess cement around implant-ret...

in order to study of the effects of hydro-osmo priming, bio-priming (biological fertilizer (barvar-2) and inoculation with rhizobium japonicum bacteria) on growth & yield of dpx cultivar of soybean (glycine max l.), an experiment was carried out as factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in agriculture research station of shahrood university of technolog...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cement PE represents a potentially serious complication following vertebroplasty. To determine the frequency and extent of cement PE during percutaneous vertebroplasty, we performed a retrospective review of chest CT scans obtained in patients who had previously undergone ≥1 vertebroplasty procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS After approval by our local institutional review...
