When recognized, prompt revision could be needed to preserve the function of the implant; however, this is not always the case.
We have developed a dual-component cochlear implant coating to improve both the electrical function of the implant and the biological stability of the inner ear, thereby facilitating the long-term perception of sound through a cochlear implant.
While the former is merely a function of the implant physical and chemical characteristics, the latter is governed by both the implant and by its bioenvironment.
Whether the operation is defined as a replacement, arthroplasty, reconstruction or even resurfacing is a matter of semantics; the importance lies in the mechanical characteristics and the function of the implant in vivo.
Compound action potential (CAP) thresholds were examined during electrocochleography (ECochG) intraoperatively to determine the best site of the FMT placement as well as to evaluate the function of the implant system.
This is seen in artificial ligaments [ 8, 9], implanted biosensors [ 10, 11], joint implants [ 12, 13], breast implants [ 14, 15], encapsulated tissues/cells [ 16, 17], drug delivery systems [ 18] and eye implants [ 19, 20], and regularly impairs the proper function of the implant.
The primary goal of this investigation is to optimize the function of the implants to serve for immediate loading.
As expected, the higher CaSi implants appreciably enhanced the biological functions of the ZrO2 implant.
Secondly, we also accepted that there was variation in the reported definition of adverse events (a second main outcome measure) but we attempted to standardize this definition by not including adverse events that appeared not to result from complications arising from the surgery itself or from the function of the tibial implant.
The man's kidneys, which were failing at the time of the implant, are functioning normally, Dr. Gray said.
