The production of acrylic/casein nanocomposites constitutes a promising alternative for developing new materials from renewable resources and with an important substitution of petroleum based monomers. Unfortunately, a low ...

A large number of carboxylic groups were introduced onto chitosan by grafting with poly(acrylic acid) as an efficient way of modification. The reactions were carried out in a homogeneous aqueous phase by using potassium ...

The aim of this work was to study the performance of chitosan (CB) grafted with acrylamide (CB-g-A) as prolonged drug release matrix as compared with unmodified chitosan. A non-pH dependent swelling behaviour for the matrix ...

Objective: In previous studies cholesterol-rich nanoemulsions (LDE) resembling low-density lipoprotein were shown to concentrate in atherosclerotic lesions of rabbits. Lesions were pronouncedly reduced by treatment with ...

Textile vascular grafts are biomedical devices that serve as partial replacement of damaged arterial vessels, prevent aneurysms rupture and restore normal blood flow -- It is believed that the success of a textile vascular ...

Objective: To assess sensory deficits and their effects on proprioceptive and motor function in patients who had undergone unilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Design: Four evaluations were conducted: ...

Moderate and controlled loading environments support or enhance osteogenesis, and, consequently, a high degree of bone-to-implant contact can be acquired. This is because when osteoprogenitor cells are exposed to limited ...
