Abstract Bone graft procedures‚ in particular maxillofacial repair‚ account for half of the orthopedic procedures done in the US each year. Infection is a major issue in surgery‚ and should be of primary concern when engineering biomaterials. Silver is of renewed importance today‚ as it has the ability to potentiate antibiotics against resistant bacterial strains. In order to reduce long term infection risks‚ it is necessary for the scaffold to maintain a silver ion release for the length of the

what determines a living thing? The organism or object has to be cellular. Without cells an object can’t be living. The object has to have a way to convert energy and rid itself of waste. This is what separates a living thing from a non living thing. If you take an object like a rock it isn’t a livign thing. It does not have cells‚ it does not produce energy or convert energy in any way. It also doesn’t grow or procreate or replicate. Delving farther‚ if you look into the respiration of

The purpose of this experiment was to identify four synthetic blood samples through a process called blood typing. According to Fredrick H. Martin‚ PhD.‚ et.al‚ blood typing is a test that determines a person’s blood type by checking the blood for the presence or absence of specific glycoprotein called antigens found on the surface of the red blood cells. The two clinically relevant antigens are the A antigen and B antigen. The blood type is named based upon which antigen is present on the surface
