Studies in the Area of Orthopedic Implant Reported from State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo (In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of Extended Duration Cathodic Voltage-controlled Electrical Stimulation for Treatment of Orthopedic...).

A study conducted at the State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo evaluated the effectiveness of cathodic voltage-controlled electrical stimulation (CVCES) in treating orthopedic implant-associated infections (IAIs) caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The research found that combining vancomycin therapy with CVCES resulted in significant reductions in MRSA colony-forming units both in vitro and in vivo. The study concluded that extended duration CVCES therapy could be an effective adjunctive treatment for eradicating IAIs. [Extracted from the article]
