S53P4 was used as a bone graft substitute for its antibacterial properties in treating osteomyelitis, particularly when the bone quality of the vertebrae was reduced by bacterial infection (usually Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Candida tropicalis) [ 40, 52, 114, 115, 119, 121, 133]. In spite of a mean follow-up of only 24 months (from 10 to 38 months), the primary results obtained by Lindfors et al. [ 133] show that this BG was well-tolerated: all the patients achieved good bone formation and only two suffered an infection caused by vascular problems in the muscle flap and by a deep hematoma, respectively. In [ 114], a short study demonstrated the success of S53P4 in concurrence with antibiotic therapy applied to treat three patients affected by chronic osteomyelitis. The results from the short follow-up of 14–21 months suggested that this glass could have significant potential in the treatment of osteomyelitis by virtue of its ability in the replacement of bone defects and potent antimicrobial properties. Romanò et al. [ 115] showed that patients treated only with S53P4 achieved infection eradication and less drainage, similar to those treated with calcium-based antibiotics.

Arstila H, Zhang D, Vedel E et al (2005) Bioactive glass compositions suitable for repeated heat-treatments. In: Key engineering materials, pp 925–928Much like Apple's AR glasses, there isn't much information about Facebook's glasses. Still, they are part of the company's long-term effort to capture the next big computing platform after the smartphone. They align with Facebook's philosophy around AR, which is to make technology peripheral to human interactions to enhance "presence."
