Abstract

Implants of porous calcium sulphate dihydrate with a surface coating of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate were studied in circular defects in the skulls of rabbits to determine the extent of their replacement by new bone and to examine the reaction of the surrounding tissue. The defects were compared with control cavities that were allowed to fill with blood clot. The material was well tolerated by the tissues and did not slow bony healing. The pattern of ingrowth of bone in the skulls with implants was different than that of the controls. Further investigations are being undertaken to strengthen the implants and to adjust the rate of biodegradation. Possible future clinical applications are discussed.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
