The Center for Devices and Radiological Health is committed to advancing regulatory science with computational modeling. This presentation will cover the new standard from the ASME Verification and Validation (V&V 40) subcommittee on Computational Modeling for Medical Devices. Computational modeling can be used throughout the product life cycle to provide information about the technical performance, safety, and effectiveness of medical devices. Computational models can also be used to assess aspects of in vivo performance without subjecting patients to potential harm or unnecessary risk. Establishing the credibility of a computational model to assess in vivo performance is important because of the inherent risk. Model credibility can be established through verification and validation (V&V) activities. Although methods for V&V are well-established, guidance is lacking on assessing the adequacy of the V&V activities for computational models used to support medical device development and evaluation. Given the inherent risk of using a computational model as a basis for predicting medical device performance, a risk-informed credibility assessment framework has been developed. The framework centers on establishing that model credibility is commensurate with the risk associated with decisions influenced by the computational model. Thus, the intent of this standard is to provide guidance on how to establish risk-informed credibility goals, which are used in the development of the V&V plan, and then determine and communicate the credibility of computational models used in the evaluation of medical devices.

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health is committed to advancing regulatory science with computational modeling. Specifically, there is a role for modeling and simulation in the evaluation of medical devices, from the research and development stage to supporting the approval/clearances of devices on the market. Numerous challenges remain before we can fully realize the potential for modeling and simulation. One of the key challenges is being able to review the computational model and evaluate the evidence available to support its use in regulatory submissions. To overcome this challenge, FDA has recently published a guidance document for Reporting Computational Modeling Studies in Medical Device Submissions. In this document, we outline our recommendations on the format and organization of the report. Better reporting will improve our consistency in decision making and foster broader acceptance of modeling and simulation. Moreover, another key challenge is know what level of evidence is needed to support using a computational model to make regulatory decisions. On this front, FDA is working closely with industry to develop a risk-informed credibility assessment framework. Finally, to tackle scientific and technical challenges, CDRH continues its research endeavors in modeling and simulation. The webinar will focus on these key aspects: the guidance on reporting, the standard on credibility evidence, and scientific research projects.

Navigating the research field is as much about career management as it is about scientific training and ability. Although doctoral study primarily focuses on research, new independent investigators are expected to obtain extramural grants, publish, advise students, and provide service to scientific societies in addition to research, teaching, and administrative responsibilities. The goal of this webinar is to provide insight into how new investigators can prepare for and meet these tasks effectively.

Mechanically assisted corrosion of metallic biomaterials has been a major concern in Orthopaedics as issues have arisen with metal-metal junctions, modular tapers and a range of other applications where metal-metal contacts are present under high cyclic loads and corrosion conditions. Much of the field has focused on the mechanical (tribological) aspects of surface damage, and the direct consequences of particles and ions on the local biological system. While these continue to be significant and important areas of study, there are several aspects of corrosion and the corrosion-biology interaction that are not well understood or studied that have significant impact on the nature of the corrosion observed and the nature of the biological reactions possible. This presentation will discuss the electrochemistry of corrosion, the importance of surface oxides in this process and the role of the reduction reactions that are part of corrosion. In addition, the interactions of the local biological system and inflammatory processes with the corroding metal surface will be discussed. Examples of new concepts to be described include the effect of reduction reactions on cell viability and the role of inflammatory cells and inflammatory chemistry (Reactive Oxygen Species) on corrosion of CoCrMo and Ti alloy surfaces. The new paradigm of “Biology causes corrosion and corrosion causes biology” will be described.

The webinar will cover the use of different in vitro culture conditions for intervertebral disc cells and tissues. From monolayer cultures of isolated disc cells, to the 3D culture systems routinely used to re-differentiate IVD cells towards the in vivo phenotype. The use of co-culture systems to mimic the native cellular interactions within the disc will also be discussed. In addition, we will review tissue cultures from explants to whole organ culture, with discussion of the media requirements and the use of loading and loading systems to maintain disc phenotype and viability during prolonged culture. The advantages and disadvantages of the systems will also be included as well as some of their uses to date.

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression without alterations in the underlying DNA sequence. Thus, epigenetics represents a change in phenotype without a change in genotype, suggesting that gene function could be altered by more than just changes in nuclear sequences. Epigenetics controls normal tissue development as well as disease processes, but exact mechanisms of this control in different tissues and under different disease conditions are poorly understood. In this webinar, we aim to focus on understanding how epigenetics controls tissue development and homeostasis, and how it plays a critical role in diseases, particularly in the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis.

Stem cells are an attractive but enigmatic cell type which have enormous potential, but present many challenges. This potential can be revealed and unleashed based on systematic studies on understanding the nature of the stem cells, developing strategies for steering their fate and functions, as well as carrying out well-designed and controlled in vivo models.
Endogenous tendon stem cells have been researched from different angles for over a decade now. Prof. Docheva will provide experimental examples from her own research on biochemical and biomechanical factors regulating endogenous tendon stem cell functions as well as discovering intriguing molecular pathways behind accumulated stem cell dysfunctions during age-associated tendinopathy. Prof Roger Smith will provide advancements and shortfalls of animal models for tendon repair and regeneration.

Polytrauma commonly accompanies orthopaedic injury due to accidents with automobiles, industrial and construction worksite accidents, war and blast injuries, and injuries caused by natural disasters. Orthopaedic aspects of polytrauma include open fractures, multiple fractures, and extensive soft tissue damage including loss or damage to surrounding muscle and vascular compromise. Injuries to other sites including head or spinal cord, internal organs, and dermal burns have their own effects on orthopaedic outcomes and post-operative complications. This webinar will provide an overview of how each of these accompanying injuries effect orthopaedic treatments and outcomes. Also, speakers will provide an overview of the most pressing clinical problems that need to be addressed by research and define human and animal research approaches and models that address these clinical needs.

There are currently no effective treatments for chronically degenerated torn tendons. In particular, surgical repair of the complex tendon enthesis does not lead to healing with restoration of the native structure or function. This webinar will feature the perspectives of a clinician, Dr. Joseph Iannotti, and a basic scientist, Dr. Helen Lu, on current metrics of success for tendon healing and therapeutics. The discussion will aim to build bridges between basic science and clinical need. Topics covered will include: tissue engineering approaches, and the clinical definition for success. We will also discuss approaches to translation of clinical need to basic science studies.

The non-invasive imaging technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is capable of generating high resolution and high contrast images without the need for ionizing radiation. Results from MRI can guide the clinical management decision making process for patients affected with meniscal pathologies, and aid in the assessment of the performance of new technologies aimed at meniscal repair. In this webinar we will review state-of-art MRI methodologies that are being developed and used for visualizing the meniscus and assessing its biochemical composition. The basic physics underlying the acquisition methods and analysis will be reviewed, and the techniques of T1ρ, T2, T2* mapping will be reviewed.
The meniscus of the knee joint is one of the most commonly injured musculoskeletal tissues. Non-invasive imaging allows the type and extent of injury to be assessed, and as such helps guide the clinical management decision making process for patients affected with meniscal pathologies. At the ORS 2016 Annual Meeting, the membership of the Meniscus Section voiced the opinion that there was a need to disseminate more detailed information about meniscus imaging techniques. This webinar will provide an overview of MR techniques for those scientists not entirely familiar with MR physics, while also providing a more in-depth analysis of the physics underlying the acquisition analysis methods specific to T1ρ, T2, T2* mapping.
Participants will learn about: (i) the process of acquiring and analyzing images and data acquired from MR scans will be reviewed (ii) clinical Imaging & UTE techniques, and (iii) T2 & T1 rho mapping of meniscus.

Osteoarthritis, the leading cause of disability and a financial burden on the society, affects 50+ million Americans. There are no effective treatment options available for this clinical syndrome largely because the molecular mechanisms of disease development are poorly understood. Although articular cartilage degeneration is the hallmark of end stage osteoarthritis, it is no longer considered to be only a cartilage disease. It is now being recognized that osteoarthritis affects all knee joint tissues (meniscus, cartilage, ligament, bone) and should therefore be viewed as a total joint disease. ORS conducted a webinar to address the basic science, clinical and translational aspects of osteoarthritis as a total joint disease. Differences between mouse and human was discussed.
