Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Kardiyovasküler Aldatma-Salgını: Kardiyovasküler Tedavilerde Kandırma ve Yanlış Bilgilendirme Epidemisinin Yaygınlaşması(Baycınar Medical Publishing - Baycınar Tıbbi Yayıncılık, 2024) Demirkılıç, Ufuk; Tosun, BurcuSon zamanlarda, bazı kalp damar cerrahları sıklıkla yanıltıcı terimler kullanarak pazarlama amacıyla sosyal medyayı giderek daha fazla kullanmaktadır. “Kardiyovasküler aldatma- salgını” olarak adlandırdığımız bu eğilim, kardiyovasküler tedaviler için yanıltıcı reklamların salgın benzeri bir şekilde yayılmasını içeren bir durumu yansıtmaktadır. Bu tür yanlış bilgilere maruz kalmanın, profesyonel kaynaklardan gelen bilgiye doğal olarak güvenen hastaları tehlikeye atmakla kalmayıp, aynı zamanda tıbbi etik ve bilimsel doğruluğa olan kamu güvenini de zedelemektedir. Ayrıca, bu durum tedavi reddine ve olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarına da katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu sorunları değerlendiren kapsamlı küresel düzenlemelerin yetersizliği, acilen daha etkili uygulama önlemlerine gereksinim olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering for Regenerative Repair of Articular Cartilage Defects(Turkish League Against Rheumatism, 2009) Tur, Kazim; Department of Metallurgical and Materials EngineeringArticular cartilage defects heal very poorly and lead to degenerative arthritis. Existing medications cannot promote healing process; cartilage defects eventually require surgical replacements with autografts. As there is not enough source of articular cartilage that can be donated for autografting, materials that promote cartilage regeneration are important in both research and clinical applications. Tissue engineering involves cell growth on biomaterial scaffolds in vitro. These cells are then injected into cartilage defects for biological in vivo regeneration of the cartilage tissue. This review aims first to provide a brief introduction to the types of materials in medicine (biomaterials), to their roles in treatment of diseases, and to design factors and general requirements of biomaterials. Then, it attempts to sum up the recent advances in engineering articular cartilage; one of the most challenging area of study in biomaterials based tissue engineering, as an example to the research on regenerative solutions to musculoskeletal problems with an emphasis on the biomaterials that have been developed as scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. The definitive goal on cartilage regeneration is to develop a system using biomimetic approach to produce cartilage tissue that mimics native tissue properties, provides rapid restoration of tissue function, and is clinically translatable. This is obviously an ambitious goal; however, significant progress have been made in recent years; and further advances in materials design and technology will pave the way for creating significantly custom-made cellular environment for cartilage regeneration.
