Is physical function at the time of dialysis initiation associated with subsequent mortality?
Physical function assessed by BI at the time of dialysis initiation was found to be associated with subsequent mortality.
Hydroxyapatite and Dahllite bone cements showed evidence of osseointegration with ossicular bone in the guinea pig model. Further studies are under way to determine the osseointegrative capacity of Dahllite cement between the guinea pig malleus and a partial prosthesis, and any ototoxic effects with use in the middle ear.
