A Comparative Study of Temporalis Fascia Graft and Cartilage - Perichondrium Graft in Tympanoplasty

Objective The repair of the tympanic membrane has been attempted with large variety of synthetic, homologous and autologous tissue; however, temporalis fascia and cartilage-perichondrium are used most commonly today. Study Design This is a prospective study of patients confirmed to have CSOM and ope…

Differential of Antioxidant Ability, CD4+T Cells Count and Viral Load in HIV Infected Patients on cART in Yaounde, Cameroon

Background Decreased antioxidant ability is one of the worsening conditions in AIDS.We aimed to evaluate total antioxidant ability among others, and their variation in HIV infected patients following their CD4+T cells count and viral load, in a context of new ART scarcity in most LMICs. Material and…

Articular cartilage: Chemical, Physical, and Tribological Properties

The cartilage surface was characterized using wettability test fresh and depleted AC samples. In this work, we demonstrated experimentally that the cartilage smart biomaterial at varies pH is sensitive to friction and introduces a novel concept in joint lubrication on charged surfaces.The surface ch…

Increased Number of Megakaryocytes in the Synovium and Cartilage of Arthritic Mouse Joints

Bone remodeling processes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) depend mainly on the action of three types of cells. Osteoblasts are responsible for the formation of new bone, osteoclasts degrade mineralized bone and osteocytes regulate and maintain the bone homeostasis. Except, many other cell populations b…

RETRACTED: Fibrous Dysplasia of the Thyroid Cartilage – A Case Study and Review of the Literature

This article has been retracted on 25 March 2016. VIEW THE RETRACTION NOTICE (https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2379-8572.joa-25-5867) Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder of bone that is uncommon in the head and neck region. Herein, we present a rare case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the…

Retraction Note: Fibrous Dysplasia of the Thyroid Cartilage – A Case Study and Review of the Literature

Human Myxomatous Mitral Valves Exhibit Focal Expression of Cartilage-Related Proteins

Background: Heart valves share developmental signaling pathways with cartilage and bone. While calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) has been associated with valve calcification and stenosis, suggestive of osteogenesis, myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is characterized by net matrix degradation…

Electromagnetic Fields and Osteoarthritis 2025

This mini review examines the potential efficacy of applying electromagnetic field therapy for purposes of reducing osteoarthritis pain and other related disease features such as frailty, muscle sarcopenia, obesity, bone loss and fragility, and cartilage derangements and degradation in the older adu…

Exercises Pursued by Older Adults with Osteoarthritis and Their Structural Impacts are Hard to Uncover; a Scoping Review of Selected 1970-2024 Studies

Persons with osteoarthritis often have signs of reduced muscle strength. Some studies suggest that this strength could be improved with exercise. However, does this form of therapy improve the disease status as assessed by improvements in cartilage viability, a hallmark of the disease? This brief de…

Study of The ID3 and C4.5 Learning Algorithms

Data Mining is a process of exploring against large data to find patterns in decision-making. One of the techniques in decision-making is classification. Data classification is a form of data analysis used to extract models describing important data classes. There are many classification algorithms.…

Chondroplasty Efficacy of Bone Matrix

Aim To study the chondroplasty efficacy of the bone matrix obtained using an original technology in restoring cartilage defect of the knee joint. Material and Methods Marginal defects were modeled on the surface of the distal end of the femur in 40 adult male Wistar rats. The bone matrix obtained us…

Knowing, Proposing and Acting: Epistemological Aspects of Medical Practice in the New Millennium.

In this work, it is analysed how the medical practice is imbued with Cartesian rational thought as well as empiricist thought and it is stated that medicine is an art and is science. It is proposed that the object of knowledge of the medical practice is not the concept of disease but health. It is f…

Lysozyme-Induced Degradation of Chitosan: The Characterisation of Degraded Chitosan Scaffolds

Up till now, chitosan has confirmed its versatile application in skin, cartilage and bone tissue engineering, as well as in drug delivery applications. This study is focused on enzymatic degradation of porous chitosan structures usually designed for mentioned purposes. In vitro degradation was monit…
