Abstract Background Non-vascularized bone grafting (NVBG) has demonstrated to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).There are a number of articles updating the use of NVBG to treat the ONFH, but the percentage of patients subsequently undergoing a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is controversial.Methods Several electronic databases, including
Antibiotics are used for disease therapeutic or preventative effects in humans and animals, as well as for enhanced feed conversion efficiency in livestock.Antibiotics can also cause undesirable effects in microbial populations, including selection for antibiotic resistance, enhanced pathogen invasion, and stimulation of horizontal gene transfer.Ca
nail oil Additive manufacturing technologies have allowed the production of complex geometries that are typically obtained by applying topology optimization techniques.The outcome of the optimization process is a tessellated geometry, which has reduced aesthetic quality and unwanted spikes and cusps.Filters can be applied to improve the surface qua
