Progress in medicine and psychology are dismissed, and an entirely new brand of science is substituted based on the hallowed pillars of "common sense".
As unit costs are only available for medication with a pharmaceutical identification number, missing data were substituted based on the documented medication name.
For those who filled in only five or six items on the HADS-A and -D subscales, missing scores were substituted based on the sum of completed items multiplied by 7/5 or 7/6, respectively.
This paper presents the reconstruction of surface epithelia for the treatment of pathological conditions of skin and cornea and the development of 3D tissue-engineered substitutes based on a collagen GAG chitosan matrix for the regeneration of skin and cornea.
Dokmak et al. summarized the features of these substitutes based on six characteristics: availability, difficulty of harvesting, necessity of additional incision, risk of infection, need for long-term anticoagulation, and cost [8].
Advances in biomedical science have allowed the development of engineered skin tissue substitutes based on data published more than 30 years ago [ 60- 62].
This study investigated the effect of six lab-produced saliva substitutes based on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) differing in octacalciumphosphate saturations (OCP-s) on mineralisation of bovine dentin in vitro.
Several Silicon Valley scientists are producing edibles of the truly bizarre inside their labs or mixing up animal substitutes based on some interesting ingredients.
The types of cartilage ranged from artificial, cell-free matrix substitutes based on collagen/peptide matrices [ 9] or extracted cartilage components (reconstituted from milled cartilage) [ 10] to in vitro generated, cell-containing matrices (derived from the three-dimensional (3D) culture of chondrocytes) [ 11].
Although recently introduced substitutes based on 0.55% ortho-phthaldehyde (OPA), 7% to 14% hydrogen peroxide, and 0.1% to 0.3% peracids are considered less toxic than glutaraldehyde, OPA can be a potential respiratory sensitizer, and the materials compatibility profile of peroxide/peracids at effective concentrations remains an issue.
