Caries experience in permanent teeth, but not in primary dentition, was associated with the type of the heart defect. Those with ASD and TOF had the most caries experience in permanent dentition. There was no significant difference in caries status in different age groups between the study group and general population. Those who had caries did not have more visits to oral hygienist or get more oral health promotion rather the opposite. | Dental caries and attendance to dental care in Finnish children with operated congenital heart disease.

026d2202-43a2-d199-2e6a-5ed87af69e1e | All the Sffxs in our study occurred as a result of low-energy trauma, as high-energy injured patients were excluded. Biomechanical studies and clinical experience suggest that the incidence of peri-implant fractures is affected by the modulus of elasticity of the implant [32]. The increased incidence of ipsilateral versus contralateral Sffxs in the shaft and distal metaphyseal area following the implantation of an IMN in this study may indicate a redistribution of forces in the event of a second trauma to the femur – protecting the proximal femur but yielding an increased risk of fractures distal to the nail. However, the protective effect of the IMN with regard to an ipsilateral proximal Sffx is far greater than the increased risk of an ipsilateral peri-implant fracture. Extracting an IMN increases the risk of sustaining an ipsilateral trochanteric fracture substantially compared with the risk of sustaining an ipsilateral peri-implant fracture with the implant in place. | Subsequent ipsi- and contralateral femoral fractures after intramedullary nailing of a trochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture: a cohort study on 2012 patients |

02734fc9-3247-f2ae-7129-d10700a4d649 | Like many other aspects in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, randomized controlled trials are difficult to be carried out. In addition, there is currently no randomized controlled trial comparing MDO with traditional sagittal split osteotomy or with mandibular advancement splint therapy. There were only 7 prospective studies on MDO for OSA patients but they were poorly reported and excluded in the selection process in this review.[ There was also no systematic review or meta-analysis on the effect of MDO for improvement in patients with OSA. There is clearly a research gap in the clinical effectiveness of MDO for the treatment of OSA. We managed to gather 12 retrospective studies regarding this aspect in the final round for further analysis and tried to generate the best evidence available in the literature. This systematic review showed that success rate of MDO in OSA patients is 90% to 100%. This is comparable to that of traditional orthognathic surgery for advancement of mandible in OSA patients, which has been showed to have a success rate of 86% in a recent systematic review.[ | Distraction osteogenesis as a treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome A systematic review |
027407ff-eaa0-ab21-3b8c-f7fe391103d0 | Using the CFRP/Al machining configuration and a coated tool resulted in a higher value of Ra surface roughness parameter on the aluminum alloy and the CFRP surfaces. However, the statistical analysis indicated that the machining configuration was the only variable that had a statistically significant impact on the value of Ra surface roughness parameter obtained for the metal layer. The statistically significant variables for the composite layer were the machining configuration and the tool type. The interaction of these factors was statistically insignificant for both materials. | Investigation of the Surface Roughness and Surface Uniformity of a Hybrid Sandwich Structure after Machining |

0275e0b2-3c9c-f1a9-2ea3-fbf61cdd01e7 | Our high success rates are probably due to a systematic surgical technique and the presence of an experienced preceptor during all of the procedures. We also attributed our success rate to the ease of this technique and the fact that complications are infrequent. This technique also offers an excellent view, which allows easy access to the borders of the tympanic perforation and middle ear structures, increasing the safety and facilitating removal of middle ear diseases, removing adhesions, accommodating the graft adequately, and rebuilding the ossicular chain, all of which are essential for surgical success. | Evaluation of the organic and functional results of tympanoplasties through a retro-auricular approach at a medical residency unit |
027697a6-3748-a6c8-8f06-288794c3ed35 | All patients with malignant cancer undergoing major surgical interventions should be given pharmacological prophylaxis with UFH or LMWH, unless contraindicated because of active bleeding or high potential risk of bleeding.17 , 18 Extended prophylaxis with LMWH for up to 4 weeks during the postoperative period is recommended for patients who undergo major open or laparoscopic abdominal or pelvic surgery for cancer.17 The most recent American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines recommend LMWH for up to 4 weeks during the postoperative period after major abdominal or pelvic surgery, in cancer patients who have the characteristics of high risk of VTE: restricted mobility, obesity, prior VTE, or additional risk factors. In lower risk situations the decision should be individualized.18 | Challenges of extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in medical and surgical patients |
027a59dc-fd42-8641-4370-7d5c27583a28 | Conclusion and recommendations Replacement of missing teeth with resin-bonded fixed partial dentures is a conservative alternative to conventional fixed partial dentures and should be included as a treatment option wherever possible. There are numerous factors that influence the longevity of RBBs. To achieve successful long-term survival, careful case selection and consideration of various variables is crucial. There is a clear and urgent need for well controlled studies to better understand the effects of these prognostic factors. | Predictability of resin bonded bridges – a systematic review |
027ade44-3bb0-0e3e-a76a-d25c28d5e8d2 | Arthroscopy of the TMJ was first introduced by Ohnishi22, and has been considered a safe and minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat TMJ ID. McCain et al.16 suggested that malocclusion after disc repositioning might be due to thickening of the retrodiscal tissue, producing an increase in the joint space and concomitant centering of the condyle in the fossa. It has been reported that the incidence of open bite at the posterior teeth on the operative side was 100% on the day of surgery and mostly recovered within 28 days after surgery18. In this study, we quantitatively measured the joint spaces changes in unilateral ADD patients who underwent arthroscopic disc repositioning. The results confirmed our hypothesis that the posterior and superior spaces of the affected sides would increase significantly after surgery, leading to condyle changing from a posterior position to an anterior position, but without influencing the joint spaces and condylar positions of the healthy sides. | Changes in temporomandibular joint spaces after arthroscopic disc repositioning: a self-control study |

028737b0-dcca-d428-a349-c865006d1471 | The timing of initiating chemoprophylaxis within 24 h postoperatively is not significantly associated with bleeding and clinical VTE after major abdominal surgery. Given the low risk of bleeding and clinical VTE associated with postoperative chemoprophylaxis, our findings advocate for standardization of chemoprophylaxis timing in the postoperative period to improve compliance with administration. | Postoperative Timing of Chemoprophylaxis and Its Impact on Thromboembolism and Bleeding Following Major Abdominal Surgery: A Multicenter Cohort Study |

This is accomplished by binning the flame edge images such that the final image resolution matches the sheet spacing of 0.2 mm, preventing biasing of the FSD calculation in the laser scan direction. The laser sheet orientation is very close to orthogonal with the voxel layers in the discretised volume, meaning a correction is not required to account for the divergence of adjacent laser sheets in different parts of the volume. | Large volume scanning laser induced fluorescence measurement of a bluff-body stabilised flame in an annular combustor |

0292848f-5fbe-b398-4b43-3637aa6d263b | Skeletal malocclusion affects the characteristics and dynamics of the smile in the anterior and lateral imaging angles. Gum width, maxillary incisor display, and the interlabial gap at the smile position were greater in patients with Class II division 1 in the anterior filming shots. There was no difference in the amount of coverage of the lower lip of the upper incisors between the studied groups. The normal inclination of the upper incisors was evident in patients with Class I malocclusion, while the proclination was evident in patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion, and the retroclination was found in patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion in the anterior imaging angle at the smile position. The orthodontist should always analyze patients’ facial expressions, including those related to the upper and lower lips at rest and when patients smile naturally. Accordingly, treatment planning could be built to improve the characteristics of the natural smile in patients with Class I and Class II malocclusions. | Characteristics and Dynamics of Smile in Patients With Skeletal Class II Malocclusion Versus Class I Malocclusion Using Still Digital Video Captures: A Three-Group, Cross-Sectional, Comparative Study |
029674e6-be04-dd7a-556f-5f480437f19a | Wallerian degeneration is minimized within 1 to 2 weeks after damage occurs, and it is important to promote nerve regeneration in an appropriate direction in order to obtain a good prognosis. Therefore, if the nerve is damaged, medical evaluation and treatment should be performed as soon as possible. Specialist attention should be sought within 1 to 2 weeks after damage occurring and treatment commenced. Figure 7 shows the difference in prognosis by treatment start date. The number of patients who achieved complete remission, meaning an almost complete recovery, increased the earlier treatment started, whereas the majority of those in whom treatment was commenced at 6 months or more after nerve injury occurred showed either no change or exacerbation. If the nerve is damaged, evaluation and treatment should be started within a month to obtain a good prognosis. | Pain Management for Nerve Injury following Dental Implant Surgery at Tokyo Dental College Hospital |

029d1bb0-40be-b0f6-f2f1-b1804949bfc7 | The scoping review on the implementation outcomes of digital surgical simulation implementation in LMICs revealed that participants, primarily medical students, and male residents rated surgical simulators and telecommunications devices highly for acceptability and usefulness, as they gained anatomical and procedural knowledge. However, image distortion, excessive light exposure, and video stream latency were commonly cited as shortcomings. The implementation cost varied by product, with the cost of development being a significant factor to consider. The study indicates that digital surgical simulation is a promising tool for medical education in LMICs, but further research is necessary to address some of the limitations and ensure successful implementation. In order to scale the use of these technologies in their respective environments, it is necessary to assign mentor-champions to promote their implementation. Acceptability and fidelity were rated quite highly in the majority of studies, and the reality of surgery and the virtual simulation were comparable; however, these are all technically feasible and there is a dearth of reporting on successful implementation. In addition, the use of low-cost 3D silicone models has been demonstrated, though they may not function as intended and require frequent updates and modifications. Therefore, it would be ideal to develop technology that is easily usable offline and pertinent to regional clinical practice. We urge more consistent reporting and understanding of implementation of science approaches in the development of digital surgical tools, as this is the critical factor that will determine whether we are able to meet the 2030 goals for surgical training in LMICs. Sustainability of implemented digital surgical tools are a pain point that must be focused on if we are to deliver digital surgical simulation tools to the populations that demand them the most. The limitations of the paper are that there was a high degree of inconsistency and vagueness in the reporting of implementation outcomes, a small sample size of papers, and a lack of inclusion of the gray literature. The suggested implication of our paper is to develop systems that prioritize local sustainability and health system capacity as opposed to traditional models of increasing surgical capacity in LMICs. We believe that digital surgical simulation can play a crucial role in training surgeons from these regions while allowing large foreign institutions to avoid implementation of unsustainable medical “voluntourism.” | Current Implementation Outcomes of Digital Surgical Simulation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Scoping Review |

This may limit the use of standard pre-contoured plates to mesaticephalic cats or possibly domestic mixed breed cats.

02b62b1d-4a7e-47ad-7f63-5fc8c7d3e114 | The limitation of this study as with other finite element studies of tooth movement was the assumption that the PDL possesses isotropic and elastic behaviors. Also, the virtual mechanical properties of the material differ from their actual properties. Furthermore, in the present study the neighboring teeth were not taken into account for the analysis, and it was assumed that brackets bonded on them were at the same level of the modeled tooth. Although this assumption can be justified by the fact that stainless steel archwires modeled in this study are usually inserted in the clinic once NiTi wires level the brackets. It is obvious that the position of the bracket on the adjacent teeth will have a significant effect on the results. Also, variations in the torque resulting from altered vertical bracket positions could negatively affect root resorption and debonding rate of orthodontic brackets. We suggest that future studies address the mentioned points and also analyze different wire sizes and archwire material. | The effect of vertical bracket positioning on torque and the resultant stress in the periodontal ligament—a finite element study |

02ba78f9-e811-4fcf-3dc5-77ab1481be04 | Deficits in neurologic function below the level of a SCI are thought to be mostly due to the loss of white matter in and around the injury site [4]. However, most SCIs are not complete and there are large differences in the amount of spared cord tissue. White matter injuries result in loss of long ascending and/or descending tracts reducing communication between brain and peripheral organs and between different levels of the spinal cord. These deficits affect systemic motor and sensory functions, but also frequently cause loss of bowel and bladder control making a normal lifestyle difficult. An attractive option of effective SCI treatment is therefore to reduce the damage to white matter tracts in order to preserve connections that had survived the initial injury, but are subsequently lost due to secondary injury processes. The present study follows on from our earlier one in which we compared the general loss of grey matter and white matter following a contusion injury [1]. The new study was undertaken to better our understanding of pathological events occurring in the white matter following injury and to test new methods for assessing damage to spinal white matter. | Pathological Changes in the White Matter after Spinal Contusion Injury in the Rat |

02d6dd27-cf15-4a30-a7cd-f58667a6662c | Human factors such as personality and experience were found to affect the perception of an AI system. Depending on the healthcare professional, their needs and the work environment, the acceptance of an AI system might differ. The same AI system might be perceived as helpful by a person and would therefore be accepted while another professional might find that the system could hold up their work and would therefore deem it as unacceptable. Moreover, as found in our review and supported by the literature, more experienced healthcare professionals tend to trust their knowledge and experience more than an AI system. Consequently, they might override the system’s recommendations and make their own decisions based on their personal judgement. This might be related to their fear of losing autonomy in a situation where the AI system is recommending something that is not in line with their critical thinking process. | An integrative review on the acceptance of artificial intelligence among healthcare professionals in hospitals |

02f1c771-fcda-2412-3823-f4e9d8bdbf24 | The functionally generated pathway is formed by engraving the functional wax medium by the opposing cusps with functional border movements of the mandible such as protrusive and lateral movements which are eccentric mandibular movements. The mandible translates in a forward and downward direction during protrusive movement. Lateral movement occurs when one condyle rotates within the temporomandibular fossa and the other condyle translates forward, inward and downward [11]. This FGP technique is contraindicated when the denture space is inadequate and when the desired jaw movements are difficult to achieve. All rehabilitation procedures in the opposing dental arch should be completed prior to the construction of the denture [12].

02f46035-433e-0fba-c762-fcf71df48a18 | In this experiment we only had one expert at our disposal, who generated a solution and provided details about his notion of quality. The experimental conditions were the same as in the office scenario. The orange lines in Figure 4 indicate the possible positions of cameras in this problem which is limited to two beams on the crane. To construct a set of possible viewpoints, we linearly subdivide each beam in 20 positions and defined 15 possible orientations, creating a set of 2 × 20 × 15 (600) configurations. The goal is to select 10 positions that maximize coverage over the area of interest, defined as the purple box in Figure 4 and a denser sampling between the containers. This denser sampling encodes the notion that areas in between containers are more important because they are more dangerous. This box is discretized in 30 k points and between the containers we uniformly sample another 16 k points to force the optimizer to focus on areas between the container. | Interactive Camera Network Design Using a Virtual Reality Interface |
02f4cebc-07ff-4c2e-92e3-1efa87a22d48 | There are limitations that need to be acknowledged and addressed regarding the present study. One limitation has to do with the extent to which the findings can be generalized beyond the cases studied. The number of cases is too limited for broad generalization. This study is a consecutive case series with a heterogenous patient population. There is no radiographic follow-up and consequently the development of osteoarthritis cannot be monitored. However, these limitations can be seen as fruitful avenues for future research under the same theme.

Thus, considering the calculation relationship of the cutting force that depends on the three factors mentioned above, it can be concluded that the cutting force together with the friction forces have a very large influence on the surface roughness [35]. In addition, the surface roughness of a part made of aluminum bronze materials can depend in particular on the combination of the material of the workpiece and of the tool, the geometry of the tool and the vibrations that may occur in the cutting process [36]. | Ecodesign of the Aluminum Bronze Cutting Process |

030a16bf-9e49-8c04-e54f-5f8613d20928 | All paired cadaver tibiae from left and right tibiae were randomly distributed into two groups with six pairs in each group, and the conventional anatomical locking plates and polyaxial self-locking anatomical plates with 9 holes were applied in each group, respectively. For polyaxial self-locking anatomical plates, three locking screws were inserted into the three separated most proximal polyaxial holes on the plate to fix the proximal fracture segment while another three locking screws were inserted into the three most distal polyaxial holes to fix the distal fracture segment with the screw trajectories being regulated far from the fracture line. For conventional anatomical locking plates, six locking screws were inserted into the corresponding holes on the plate to fix the fracture segments, respectively. Osteotomies were performed to produce a highly unstable type-A fracture with the implant alone transferring all loads. The osteotomy levels were designed at the transition of segments 42 and 43 according to AO classification and 10 mm above it to create a 10 mm sized bone defect. | Construction and Biomechanical Properties of PolyAxial Self-Locking Anatomical Plate Based on the Geometry of Distal Tibia |

0314884b-25e1-e462-404d-9b1af149b122 | A successful drilling procedure will leave meninges intact, shimmering opaque at the base of the burr hole. Removing them in a controlled way was done with a slightly nicked 23 G cannula tip. Twisting the cannula‘s now ridgy tip on the base of the hole and pulling it produces a noticeable rupture of the elastic dura mater. Severing the pia mater results in bleeding, which has to be flushed away until it stops. The repetition of this step along the boundary of the hole may be necessary until no more elastic resistance exists. If successfully performed, this step leaves no opaque meninges remaining in the burr hole.

0318a83d-38a3-9490-40d9-f6c9d749eae8 | The comparison of the screw length from preoperative planning and the screw length used in the bone models and cadavers in the guide group revealed that C1 right was the only statistically significant position. A difference of 2 mm can affect the choice of screw length, and it can also affect whether it is bicortical. This study revealed that the positions with an average difference of close to 2 mm were the C1 left, C1 right, and C2 caudal left positions. This value is an average, calculated regardless of the diameter of the dog and screw, thus errors are possible. However, the C2 cranial position was approximately the same length as the other three groups. These values suggest the possibility of differences between the length determined during preoperative planning and the length of the actual screw at the C1 and C2 caudal positions. This may be related to the determined length during preoperative planning that is calculated based on the CT cross-section. The angle may also differ from the preoperative plan due to residual soft tissues and guide contraction. The comparison of the C1 and C2 caudal positions revealed fewer differences between the bone models and the cadavers than that between the CT and the cadavers. Our study suggest that a more accurate screw length can be determined if a preoperative plan based on CT is developed and a simulated operation is applied to the bone model, and then applied to the patient. Additionally, the comparison was inaccurate possibly because data analysis was based on dogs of varying sizes. Therefore, further research on dogs of similar sizes is required. | Accuracy of a patient-specific 3D-printed drill guide for placement of bicortical screws in atlantoaxial ventral stabilization in dogs |

031ad062-275f-c946-d111-e8a7e9cc3faa | For some test points of conveying case 1b, it was observed that the pellet in the groove slides over the screw flight, although according to Bornemann the pellet diameter is larger than the groove depth and thus interlocking conveying should occur. Assuming that the pellet does not deform or shear off, the previous definition is insufficient from a theoretical point of view. The decisive factor for forced conveying is whether the pellet protrudes from the groove and the screw flight drives it positively. If, however, the screw clearance is greater than the protrusion of the pellets from the groove, the pellets will merely slide over the screw flight. Especially if the combination of pellet diameter and groove depth is on the limit between conveying cases 1 or 2, the screw clearance can have a decisive influence on the model. The definition of the conveying cases according to Bornemann is extended by the consideration of the screw clearance, shown in Figure 11. Here, the criterion for forced conveying in the grooves is instead of . For the test points defined here in the test plan; however, the assignment to the conveying cases does not change. | Numerical Simulation of Solids Conveying in Grooved Feed Sections of Single Screw Extruders |

Further improvements may be realized by working with primary care clinicians to ensure dental homes are established starting at an early age. Additionally, public health agencies should conduct outreach to Hispanic communities and target low-income families through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
