The present review will cover the recent patents involving citric acid derived biodegradable biomaterials within the field of biomedical engineering including poly (diol citrates) and their composites, crosslinked urethane-doped polyesters (CUPEs), poly (alkylene maleate citrates) (PAMCs), poly (xylitol-co-citrates) (PXC), and aliphatic biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (BPLPs). The synthesis, development, and applications of these novel polymers will be discussed along with the current trends and future developments in the biomaterials field.","PeriodicalId":89473,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on biomedical engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"216-227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88088001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These disorders, with a cause associated with work, have heavy economic consequences, cause suffering, and often lead to permanent disability. WRMD are the main occupational diseases, affecting over 1/3 of the workers in Europe. WRMD have a multifactorial nature, meaning that multiple risk factors contribute to their onset, like posture, force, repetition, cold, vibration, or stress. The ergonomic workplace analysis is a process that comprehends several steps, including data collection, ergonomic risk assessment and advice regarding the interventions required to eliminate or at least reduce the risk factors that contribute to the development of WRMD. The present article presents a review of patents related with workstation ergonomic risk assessment to WRMD risk factors, which have been filed worldwide in the last ten years. After the search performed using the search engines of the US Patent Office and of the European Patent Office, a screening resulted in the selection of 18 patents or patent applications. The patents presented were analyzed and categorized considering the functionalities of data collection, ergonomic risk assessment and advice that these systems and methods offer to their users.","PeriodicalId":89473,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on biomedical engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":"121-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73128532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The premise is that mechanical stimulation during the culturing process is necessary to reach this aim. Therefore, mechanical stimulation systems have been integrated in aseptic bioreactors for in vitro cultivation of tissue engineered cartilage. These vary from simple unconfined compression systems to advanced bioreactors in which deformation and loading are fully controlled. Fluid handling in these devices is another decisive parameter for the success of cartilage tissue engineering. Over the last decades bioreactor developments have resulted in the filing of many patents. The aim of this paper is to review these patents, categorize them according to their possibilities for mechanical stimulation and fluid handling systems and finally to discuss them in the context of the demands of a functional tissue engineered cartilage from a mechanical perspective.","PeriodicalId":89473,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on biomedical engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81616120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
