The Endocannabinoid System, A Physician`s Perspective
Most physicians are constantly learning not only for their benefit but, more importantly, for the benefit of their patients. It is not surprising therefore that there is considerable interest in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) as this system has only been recently recognized and appreciated. I think it is fair to say that over the last decade there has been more interest in the ECS than any ...

Gene of the Week: SOD2 (Skin Protection)
There are around 30,000 genes in the human genome. In this weekly series, we’ll write about a new gene featured in Orig3n DNA tests so you can discover the kinds of information genetic assessments can offer you. Have you ever wondered why some people’s skin ages differently than others? There’s a gene for that™! Here at Orig3n, we’ve been dreaming of a winter ...

Pain and the Endocannabinoid System, A Physicians Perspective
The topic of pain and pain control is a very complex one with many different areas of concern and consideration. I will try to outline this complex topic as it applies to the endocannabinoid system. In my last article I briefly outlined this system and described it as an internal “buffer” the main function of which is to create homeostasis within our body. When considering the ...

How are evolving standards improving MV installations?
Standards must evolve to ensure safer and efficient MV installations Almost all products people use in their daily lives - such as electronics, cars, medical devices, and home energy systems - were designed to meet designated industry standards. For the consumer, this means that these products meet both the safety and performance requirements. This even more true for MV installations ...

Titanium but not just titanium
Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of ...

Silk Fibroin Enhances Tendon Repair and Tissue Regeneration
Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have used silk protein, which is produced by silkworms, as a biomaterial for tendon repair. The researchers report that their approach has made significant progress in tendon regeneration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). SF is a promising biomaterial for tendon repair, but its relatively rigid mechanical properties and low cell ...

The Most Commonly Seen Organic and Inorganic Photochromic Materials You Should Know
Photochromic materials refer to a class of materials that can change color after being excited by a light source. The first successful commercial application of photochromic materials began in the 1960s. Subsequently, a lot of research was done on its mechanism and application. Later on, color-changing glasses were developed. Photochromic compounds can generally be divided into two types: organic ...

OLED Inkjet Printing
The OLED inkjet printing uses solvents to melt OLED organic materials and subsequently prints materials on the surface of substrates to form R (red), G (green), and B (blue) organic light-emitting layers. Inkjet Printing Polymer Materials Due to the greater molecular weight of polymers, solution processing was mainly used to form films, such as spin coating or printing, while inkjet printing ...

What Are Heparins?
Heparin, also known as standard heparin or unfractionated heparin, is a linear polysaccharide consisting of 1-4 linked disaccharide repeat units of uronic acid and glucosamine residues. Heparin was discovered nearly 100 years ago and has been used clinically as a blood anticoagulant since 1935. This is due to its ability to bind to the antithrombin(serine protease inhibitor), causing the ...

Development of a Bioartificial Vascular Pancreas
Abstract Transplantation of pancreatic islets has been shown to be effective, in some patients, for the long-term treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, transplantation of islets into either the portal vein or the subcutaneous space can be limited by insufficient oxygen transfer, leading to islet loss. Furthermore, oxygen diffusion limitations can be magnified when islet numbers are increased ...

Clinical implementation of the Humacyte human acellular vessel: Implications for military and civilian trauma care
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...

Susceptibility of ePTFE vascular grafts and bioengineered human acellular vessels to infection
Background: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts are routinely used for vascular repair and reconstruction but prone to sustained bacterial infections. Investigational bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) have shown clinical success and may confer lower susceptibility to infection. Here we directly compared the susceptibility of ePTFE grafts and HAV to bacterial ...
