Phonon Hall effect (PHE) has attracted a lot of attention in recent years with many theoretical and experimental explorations published. While experiments work on complicated materials, studies are still hovering around the phenomenon-based models. Moreover, previous microscopic theory was found unable to explain large thermal conductivity obtained by strontium titanate (STO). Therefore, an att...

The clinical experiences with strontium ranelate (Osseor) in osteoporosis treatment are presented. Strontium ranelate (Osseor) has proven efficacy at the vertebral and nonvertebral levels including patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis regardless of patients age.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) involves a lengthy consolidation phase where complications can occur. Strontium is an element that has been shown to improve bone healing. The objective of this study was to determine whether strontium citrate can be used to enhance bone healing during MDO in a rabbit model. STUDY DESIGN Prospective animal model study. METHODS ...

BACKGROUND Intestinal strontium absorption is becoming accepted as a clinical and diagnostic tool for assessing intestinal calcium absorption in humans. However, little is known about whether intestinal strontium absorption, like that of calcium, is stimulated by calcitriol in healthy humans. METHODS The effect of calcitriol on intestinal strontium absorption was measured in eight healthy men...

This paper describes some physical, structural, and biological properties of gypsum bioceramics doped with various amounts of strontium ions (0.19-2.23 wt%) and compares these properties with those of a pure gypsum as control. Strontium-doped gypsum (gypsum:Sr) was obtained by mixing calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder and solutions of strontium nitrate followed by washing the specimens with dis...
