ONE IN FIVE PATIENTS REQUIRE CONVERSION TO ARTHROPLASTY AFTER NON-VASCULARIZED BONE GRAFTS IN PATIENTS WITH OSTEONECROSIS OF THE FEMORAL HEAD: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

One in five patients require conversion to arthroplasty after non-vascularized bone grafts in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a systematic review

Abstract Background Non-vascularized bone grafting (NVBG) icon track bar f250 has demonstrated to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).There are a number of articles updating the use of NVBG to treat the ONFH, but the percentage of patients subsequently undergoing a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is controversial.Methods Several electronic

The swim-and-sink behaviour of copepods: a revisit to mechanical power requirement and a new hypothesis on function

Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show that upward swi
