Published: June 2007

An experimental study on samples from a fresh human femur highlighted the viscoelastic behaviour of bone. The memory aspect of the behaviour is weak compared to the elastic aspect. A theoretical and numerical approach based on the finite element method illustrates the existing bond between the structure and the micro behaviour on the one hand, and the macro behaviour on the other. The orthotropic elastic behaviour observed by various authors is shown numerically. The memory functions of compact and spongy bone are given. The numerical results illustrate the behaviour observed in the experiments.

Inducing to become tetraploid enhances horticultural traits and facilitates fertile intergeneric hybrids through crosses with other market-available tetraploid species. The experimental design involved the application of colchicine at varying concentrations-0.

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare heart muscle disease defined by the presence of prominent left ventricular trabeculation, deep intertrabecular recesses, and a thin compact layer. Several hypotheses have been proposed regarding its pathogenesis, with the most recently accepted one being that compact layer and trabeculated layers develop independently according to an "allometric growth". The current gold-standard diagnostic criteria (in particular, the Petersen index non-compaction/compaction ratio > 2.

The ventricle of the vertebrate heart is the main segment of the cardiac outflow region. Compared with other cardiac components, it shows remarkable histomorphological variation among different animal groups. This variation is especially apparent in the myocardium, which is generally classified into three main types: trabeculated, compact and mixed.

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is an unusual congenital heart disease that predominantly affects the heart's left ventricle. This disease is characterized by deep intertrabecular recesses and hypertrabeculations of the myocardial wall that link with the ventricle cavity. During embryogenesis, the fetal myocardium has to undergo a compaction process, wherein the trabeculated and spongy myocardial tissue compacts into a dense, solid form.

In recent years, the significance of maintaining the alveolar ridge following tooth extractions has markedly increased. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is a commonly utilized technique and a variety of bone substitute materials and biologics are applied in different combinations. For this purpose, a histological evaluation and the clinical necessity of subsequent guided bone regeneration (GBR) in delayed implantations were investigated in a prospective case series after ARP with a novel deproteinized bovine bone material (95%) in combination with a species-specific collagen (5%) (C-DBBM).
