Article Abstract

Background: This prospective experimental study evaluated the surgical procedure and results of modular hybrid total hip arthroplasty in dogs.

Methods: Ten skeletally mature healthy mongrel dogs with weights varying between 19 and 27 kg were used. Cemented modular femoral stems and uncemented porous-coated acetabular cups were employed. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed before surgery and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 360 days post-operation.

Results: Excellent weight bearing was noticed in the operated limb in seven dogs. Dislocation followed by loosening of the prosthesis was noticed in two dogs, which were therefore properly treated with a femoral head osteotomy. Femoral fracture occurred in one dog, which was promptly treated with full implant removal and femoral osteosynthesis.

Conclusions: The canine modular hybrid total hip arthroplasty provided excellent functionality of the operated limb.

Live bacterial therapeutics (LBT) represent a transformative modality for managing refractory chronic diseases. However, the absence of optimized microbial chassis systems is a significant barrier to clinical translation. To bridge this gap, we engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) into a versatile platform that meets the requirements for strain development and clinical application.

Rapid movements in animals depend on efficient energy transfer to overcome inertia. Among vertebrates, dense tissue and limited elastic storage are thought to impose profound constraints on power output, making extreme ballistic performance noteworthy. Here, we show that chameleons (Chamaeleonidae) and some lungless salamanders (Plethodontidae) have independently converged on a shared biomechanical solution: a sliding-based linear actuator that launches the tongue via muscular squeezing of a tapered skeletal rod.

Inter Laminar Shear Strength of Flax-Glass Hybrid Polymer Composites for Automotive Frame: Numerical Modelling and Experimental Analysis.

Materials (Basel)

August 2025

Department of Material Science and Manufacturing Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kamycka 129, Suchdol, 165 00 Prague, Czech Republic.

This study deals with the mechanical performance in the case of hybrid polymer composites developed from sandwiched reinforcements using natural fibre and glass fibre-based fabrics. The composites developed by using different combinations and arrangements of the glass and flax fabrics were tested for the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). Finite element analysis based on ANSYS was used to determine the ILSS for the hybrid composites.
