Antiadhesive and Antibacterial Coatings for Short-Term Titanium Implants.
Macromol Rapid Commun
March 2025
This study presents a novel approach for the development of antifouling and antibacterial hydrogel coatings for short-term titanium implants to treat bone defects. Such implants provide temporary stabilization during bone healing and are intended to be explanted within a period of 12 months. The novel surface modification prevents complications during implant removal, like injury to tissue, nerves, or tendons due to adhesion to the untreated titanium surface.

- A new variant in the SLC4A3 gene has been linked to short QT syndrome (SQTS), but its significance in sudden cardiac death is still unclear.
- This study examined genetic variants in SQTS patients, finding disease-causing variants in 26% of those tested, primarily in the SLC4A3 gene.
- Results indicate that SLC4A3 variants lead to changes in heart activity, confirming the need to screen for these variants in SQTS and sudden cardiac death cases.
