DSM Headquarters in Heerlen, the Netherlands, pictured in 2011. Koninklijke DSM N.V. ( Royal DSM, commonly known as DSM, which is the acronym for Dutch State Mines ), [2] was a Dutch multinational corporation active in the fields of health, nutrition and materials. Headquartered in Heerlen, at the end of 2017 DSM employed 21,054 people in ...
A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose – either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair, or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one. The corresponding field of study, called biomaterials science or biomaterials engineering, is about fifty years old.
Strength of biomaterials (bioceramics) is an important mechanical property because they are brittle. In brittle materials like bioceramics, cracks easily propagate when the material is subject to tensile loading, unlike compressive loading. A number of methods are available for determining the tensile strength of materials, such as the bending ...
Bio-based material. A bio-based material is a material intentionally made from substances derived from living (or once-living) organisms. [1] These materials are sometimes referred to as biomaterials, but this word also has another meaning. Strictly the definition could include many common materials such as wood and leather, but it typically ...
The 9-item PHQ-9 asks questions based on the diagnostic criteria for depression in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR). Each item is ...
Biomimetic materials in tissue engineering are materials that have been designed such that they elicit specified cellular responses mediated by interactions with scaffold-tethered peptides from extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins; essentially, the incorporation of cell-binding peptides into biomaterials via chemical or physical modification. [3 ...
Text. DSM-5 online. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition ( DSM-5 ), is the 2013 update to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the taxonomic and diagnostic tool published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). In 2022, a revised version (DSM-5-TR) was published. [1]
Bioceramic. A porous bioceramic granule of an orthobiologic calcium composition manufactured by Cam Bioceramics. Bioceramics and bioglasses are ceramic materials that are biocompatible. [1] Bioceramics are an important subset of biomaterials. [2] [3] Bioceramics range in biocompatibility from the ceramic oxides, which are inert in the body, to ...
