We report the synthesis and characterization of tantalum-boronate trimetallic clusters of general formula {[Cp*Ta](3)(μ(2)-RB(O)(2))(3)(μ(2)-OH)(μ(2)-O)(2)(μ(3)-OH)} (R= 4-(C(6)H(5))(C(6)H(4)) (Ta(3)-4Ph), 4-(C(6)H(5)O)(C(6)H(4)) (Ta(3)-4OPh), 4-(C(7)H(7)O)(C(6)H(4)) (Ta(3)-4OBn),
A waveguide laser in an ytterbium-doped tantalum pentoxide film is reported. The waveguide is formed of a rib of sputtered tantalum pentoxide on top of oxidized silicon with an over-cladding of silica. Emission at a wavelength of 1025 nm was achieved with an absorbed pump power threshold and slope
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a porous tantalum rod implant for the treatment of early femoral head necrosis. From April 2007 to June 2009, a total of 35 femoral head necrosis patients (with 49 hips) were treated with core decompression in combination with the insertion of a
We have studied how the hysteretic voltage-induced torsional strain, associated with charge-density-wave (CDW) depinning, in orthorhombic tantalum trisulfide depends on square-wave and triangle-wave voltages of different frequencies and amplitudes. The strains are measured by placing the sample,
Two cases of blow out fracture of the medial orbital wall were reported. The one was a 14 year-old boy and the other was a 32 year-old man. After hitting the eye against another man or a hard object, the patients felt diplopia, especially on lateral gaze toward the injured side. The blow out
Porous tantalum trabecular metal (PTTM) has long been used in orthopedics to enhance neovascularization, wound healing, and osteogenesis; recently, it has been incorporated into titanium alloy dental implants. However, little is known about the biological responses to PTTM in the human oral cavity.
A retrospective review of patient records was conducted in a single private practice to evaluate the efficacy of immediately placing a novel implant design in posterior jaw locations using a flapless technique. Forty-two patients (22 males, 20 females) with a mean (SD) age of 60.2 (7.6) years (range
The reaction of Ta with an in situ formed polythiophosphate melt of Cs2S3, P2S5, and S yields the two new quaternary tantalum thiophosphates Cs2Ta2P2S12 (I) and Cs4Ta4P4S24 (II). Both compounds were obtained with the same stoichiometric ratio but at different reaction temperatures. Compound I was
BACKGROUND
Interbody fusion requires a structural member to carry load while the autograft or osteoinductive agent stimulates bone formation. In the present study, we evaluated the potential use of extracted nucleated cells from bone marrow mixed in hyaluronic acid gel as an osteoinductive agent, in
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to develop an aortic stent graft phantom to simulate endoleak treatment and to find a tantalum content (TC) of ethylene-vinyl-alcohol-copolymer that causes fewer computed tomography (CT) beam hardening artefacts, but still allows for fluoroscopic
Advanced engineered surfaces can be used to direct cell behavior. These behaviors are typically characterized using either optical, atomic force, confocal, or electron microscopy; however, most microscopic techniques are generally restricted to observing what's happening on the "top" side
By embedding a thin layer of tantalum in an x-ray cavity, we observe a change in the spectral characteristics of an inner-shell transition of the metal. The interaction between the cavity mode vacuum and the L_{III}-edge transition is enhanced, permitting the observation of the collective Lamb
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 novel cervical interbody fusion devices in the treatment of single-level degenerative cervical disk disease. Both devices were fabricated from a porous tantalum material. The high overall porosity of the devices was
