Are Metal Ion Levels Elevated After Dual Mobility Acetabular Systems: Minimum Five-Year Analyses
CONCLUSION: The findings reveal that over a minimum of five years (average = six years; span, five to 10 years), cobalt and chromium concentrations in patients' systems remained within normal limits and were clinically insignificant, irrespective of the follow-up duration, head material, or implant specifications. This underscores the efficacy of dual mobility systems in ensuring minimal metal ion presence.PMID:38547433 (Source: Surgical Technology International)

What is the Long-term Wear of a 5-Mrad Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liner? A 14-year RSA Study
CONCLUSION: The proximal, 2D, and 3D wear of a highly crosslinked polyethylene liner produced using 5-Mrad radiation remains low in the longer-term. With the small numbers available in a long-term RSA study such as this, we confirmed that the wear rate did not decrease at longer-term follow-up, unlike previous RSA studies of more highly irradiated highly crosslinked polyethylene liners. Nevertheless, the wear rate remains very low and below the threshold typically associated with the development of osteolysis (0.1 mm/year of wear). This should provide assurance to orthopaedic surgeons monitoring patients with this 5-Mrad i...

The Syntheses of Chromium Aluminum Carbide (Cr < sub > 2 < /sub > AlC) MAX  Phase and Cr < sub > 2 < /sub > CTx MXene and Investigation of Their Antimicrobial Properties
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s12010-024-04910-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChromium aluminum carbide (Cr2AlC) MAX phase and Cr2CTx (MXene-Cr) were synthesized by the pressureless sintering method and hydrothermal method, respectively. In addition to this, the free radical scavenging activities (FRSA) of MAX-Cr phase and MXene-Cr compounds were tested and compared with ascorbic acid and trolox as standard compounds. The obtained FRSA results of MAX-Cr phase and MXene-Cr were 42.82 and 59.64%, respectively, at 100 mg/L concentration. MXene-Cr showed a 66.90% inhibitory effect on α-amylase at 200 mg...

Evaluating hydrogeochemistry and heavy metal contamination of groundwater at Ranipet environs: employing multivariate statistics, agricultural indices, and health risk assessment
This study assessed groundwater quality and its suitability for domestic, agricultural, and human health risk assessments. 40 groundwater samples (28 open wells and 12 bore wells) were collected during pre-monsoon 2022 and analyzed by employing multivariate statistics, standard scatter plots, irrigation indices, and health risk assessment. The results of hydrogeochemical analysis and multivariate statistics affirmed that electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) have controlled the hydrochemistry of RIE. Cadmium (Cd) at 46% and chromium (Cr) at 33% have contaminated th...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 406: Human Health Effects of Oral Exposure to Chromium: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
i The toxicity and carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium via the inhalation route is well established. However, a scientific debate has arisen about the potential effects of oral exposure to chromium on human health. Epidemiological studies evaluating the connection between ingested chromium and adverse health effects on the general population are limited. In recent years, a wealth of biomonitoring studies has emerged evaluating the associations between chromium levels in body fluids and tissues and health outcomes. This systematic review brings together epidemiological and biomonitoring evidence published over the pa...
