A comparison of mechanical properties of materials used in aortic arch reconstruction.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Differences in the mechanical properties of aortic tissues and replacement materials can have unwanted hemodynamic effects leading to graft failure. The aim of this experimental study was to compare the mechanical properties of different ... Read more...

Platelet-rich plasma and resorbable membrane for prevention of periodontal defects after deeply impacted lower third molar extraction.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The extraction of deeply included third molars may cause multiple periodontal defects at the distal root of the second molar. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a material containing autologous growth factors, which may be used in repairing and ... Read more...

Efficient near-IR hyperthermia and intense nonlinear optical imaging contrast on the gold nanorod-in-shell nanostructures.

12 Oct 2009 New gold nanorod (Au NR)-in-shell nanostructures were developed to be more efficacious than Au NRs in near-IR (NIR) hyperthermia and nonlinear optical imaging contrast. Au NR-in-shell nanostructures are composed of an intact Au NR in a Au/Ag ... Read more...
