Synchrotron radiation (SR), as a result of its high‐intensity, brilliant, monochromatic, and
collimated beams, is becoming one of the most crucial components of research in various …

Many biomedical materials used today for applications such as orthopedic, dental, and
cardiovascular implants and devices are made of corrosion-resistant,'inert', metallic …

Background Joint replacement implants are usually manufactured from cobalt-chromium or
titanium alloys. After the device is implanted, wear and corrosion generate metal particles …

Background Hip implants are usually manufactured from cobalt-chromium and titanium
alloys. As the implants wear and corrode, metal debris is released into the surrounding …

The presented work proposes a novel analytical ICP-MS-based approach for the accurate
and precise chromium speciation in biological tissues. The determination of total Cr (VI) and …

The chromium toxicity greatly depends on its oxidation state and therefore accurate
determination of all Cr species is essential to understand its potential health risk. Numerous …

Background The aims of this study were to determine the levels of cobalt (Co) and chromium
(Cr) ions generated in simulators from metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) and ceramic-on …

Biological exposures to micro-and nano-scale exogenous metal particles generated as a
consequence of in-service degradation of orthopaedic prosthetics can result in severe …

CoCrMo alloys are well‐established biomaterials used for orthopedic joint replacement
implants. However, such alloys have been associated with clinical problems related to wear …

The endoprosthetic care of hip and knee joints introduces multiple materials into the human
body. Metal containing implant surfaces release degradation products such as particulate …
