“…The ethic of words 29 relates both to dignity in relationships and existence. Badly chosen words can cause suffering, humiliation and loss of dignity.…”

“…The words bear witness of the ethos of caring when the caregiver dedicates the ethical words to the fellow human being in a dialogue. 29 As seen in the findings, words have the potential to cause ‘suffering of care’ 10 and violation of dignity, and probably this is due to that the caregivers have not appropriated the ethos of caring, and that there may be a lack of ethos in the (caring) culture. To be aware of the words of caring is also a clear example of dignity in relationships, based on ontological interdependency where people form their lives together.…”

“…Eriksson says that ethos leads the words from the heart via thoughts to the hand (c.f. the head-heart-hand model for caring), 29 and this seems evident if you look at the content in appropriation of ground values . Examples in the data are to see everyone as unique with specific resources, and to allow oneself to show love towards another person.…”

Introduction: Expressions of dignity as a clinical phenomenon in nursing homes as expressed by caregivers were investigated. A coherence could be detected between the concepts and phenomena of existence and dignity in relationships and caring culture as a context. A caring culture is interpreted by caregivers as the meaning-making of what is accepted or not in the ward culture. Background: The rationale for the connection between existence and dignity in relationships and caring culture is that suffering is a part of existence, as well as compassion in relieving suffering, and ontological interdependency. Aim: To describe different expressions of dignity in relationships and existence in context of caring cultures from the perspective of the caregivers. Research design: The methodology and method are hermeneutic. The method used was to merge the theoretical preunderstanding as one horizon of understanding with empirical data. Participants and research context: Focus group interviews with caregivers in nursing homes. Ethical considerations: The principles of the Helsinki Declaration have been followed to, for example, preserve self-determination, integrity, dignity, confidentiality and privacy of the research persons. Findings: Data interpretation resulted in four themes: Encountering existential needs that promote dignity in a caring culture; To amplify dignity in relationships by the creative art of caring in a caring culture; Violation of dignity by ignorance or neglect in a non-caring culture and The ethic of words and appropriated ground values in a caring culture. Discussion: Dignity-promoting acts of caring, or dignity-depriving acts of non-caring are adequate to see from the perspective of dignity in relationships and existence and the caring culture. Conclusions: Dignity in relationships seems to touch the innermost existential life, as the existential life is dependent on confirmation from others.

“…The work presented here falls within the first stage of bone formation and aims to evaluate how different scaffold morphologies influence osteoblast activity and collagen assembly. Collagen organization and callus formation play fundamental roles as a gap filler and blueprint for subsequent ECM maturation and mineralization (Eriksson et al, 2007). The ECM of cancellous bone is characterized by irregularly arranged collagen fibres and prior callus formation is fundamental for angiogenesis and final tissue formation (Owen et al, 1990).…”

Bone tissue regeneration involves different healing stages and the resulting final hard tissue is formed from natural templates such as fibrous collagen, soft and hard callus and capillary bed. This work aims to evaluate the efficiency of different scaffold geometries with a novel approach: exploring the relationships among scaffold morphologies, cell activity and collagen 3D organization, which serves as a natural template for subsequent mineralization. Among the possible systems to fabricate scaffolds, solvent casting with particulate leaching and microfabrication were used to produce random vs ordered structures from poly(D,L-lactic acid). In vitro biological testing was carried out by culturing a human osteosarcoma-derived osteoblast cell line (MG63) and measuring material cytotoxicity, cell proliferation and migration. Assemblage of collagen fibres was evaluated. A preliminary study of collagen distribution over the two different matrices was performed by confocal laser microscopy after direct red 80 staining. Both of the scaffolds were seen to be a good substrate for cell attachment, growth and proliferation. However, it seems that random, rather than regular, well-ordered porosity induces a more proper collagen fibre distribution and organization, similar to the natural one formed in the early stages of bone repair.
