BMED - MEDITEC: Medical Engineering





Content


MEDITEC: Medical Engineering provides bibliographic citations, with
abstracts, to German and international literature on medical
engineering.

The citations in BMED contain the full range of biomedical
engineering information including biomedical measurements
(recording, plotting, processing and evaluation of physiological
parameters); medical imaging (e.g. computed tomography - CT,
magnetic resonance imaging - MRI); biomaterials and materials for
medical instrumentation; medical instruments for diagnostic and
therapeutic applications (electromedicine, radiological, nuclear and
ultrasonic medicine, intensive care); clinical laboratory technology
and dental technology; optometry and ophthalmological instruments;
clinical engineering, prostheses and rehabilitation engineering;
hospital management; and general aspects of medical engineering;
medicine, biophysicals, biomechanics, biochemistry, pharmaceutical
technology.

BMED covers both the scientific and economic aspects of this
subject. 70% of this database is in English with additional search
terms in German, 30% of the database is in German with additional
search terms in English. Geographic coverage is Eastern & Western
Europe and Asia.

Use BMED to answer a wide range of questions including:
- what are the minimum patient doses given in different screen-film
combinations that will not reduce the image quality?
- where to locate 3D medical image analysis?
- how to trace safety aspects in patient monitoring?
- what are the developmental trends in radiation therapy?

Sources
Information is taken from over 600 journals with additional
information from conference papers, books, reports and disserations.

AB - Abstract
While hydroxyapatite coatings have been shown to enhance
osseointegration of metal prostheses, the optimal extent of the
coating over the femoral stem component remains unclear.
In the study, the authors investigated the effect of the
application of hydroxyapatite to the proximal half of the
femoral stem vs full hydroxyapatite coating on the madreporic-
surfaced femoral stems in a canine model over time. Total hip
arthroplasties were performed on 22 dogs. Fifteen had half-HA
coated stems, and seven had fullly HA coated stems. The dogs
were followed for 3 weeks, 3 months, or 1 year postoperatively.
Micromotion near the femoral component was assessed at three
levels along the medial aspect of the stems. Percent bone
apposition, trabecular strut width, connectivity index, and
cortical porosity measurements were performed at five levels
and in four quadrants about the femoral stems. Micromotion was
greater adjacent to the half-coated stems at 3 weeks
postoperatively only. There was a trend to decreased
micromotion from proximal to distal in both stem types.
Both designs fixed proximally and tended to load share
laterally more than in the other three quadrants. Fully HA
coated stems induced greater percent bone apposition, wider
trabecular struts, and more connectivity compared to half-HA
coated stems.
