Are we ready for virtually planned, 3D printed titanium plates for zygoma fractures? - A feasibility study of 16 post-mortem fractures.

The state-of-the-art approach to open reduction and fixation (ORIF) of zygoma fracture fragments is based on manual skills. Achieving high accuracy can be challenging. Our feasibility study on deceased body donors with artificial zygomatic fractures investigated whether virtual repositioning of the fractures and the use of customised 3D-printed titanium osteosynthesis plates was similar in accuracy to the conventional manual procedure, and whether the method was applicable in a clinical setting.

Development of Behçet's disease on maintenance therapy for autoimmune hepatitis.

Behçet's disease is a clinical diagnosis with variable presentations. Liver involvement is rare in the absence of vascular complications. We describe a patient diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and autoimmune hepatitis on azathioprine who developed extensive aphthous ulcers approximately 10 years later.

Estimating Demographic Parameters for Bearded Seals, , in Alaska Using Close-Kin Mark-Recapture Methods.

Reliable estimates of population abundance and demographics are essential for managing harvested species. Ice-associated phocids, "ice seals," are a vital resource for subsistence-dependent coastal Native communities in western and northern Alaska, USA. In 2012, the Beringia distinct population segment of the bearded seal, , was listed as "threatened" under the US Endangered Species Act requiring greater scrutiny for management assessments.

Isotopically Enriched Lithium Fluoride Crystals for Detection of Neutrons with the Fluorescent Track Technique.

In this work, the properties of LiF crystals grown using Li of different isotopic compositions are described from the standpoint of their application as fluorescent nuclear track detectors used in measurements in the neutron radiation fields. The crystals were grown using two techniques: the Czochralski method and the micro-pulling-down method. Three isotopic compositions of Li were studied: natural, highly enriched in Li, and highly enriched in Li.

Neuro-Behçet's Syndrome Without Genital Ulcers: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Behçet's disease is a rare multisystemic vasculitis characterized by oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and skin and ocular lesions. Neuro-Behçet's syndrome is a condition in which individuals with Behçet's disease experience neurological symptoms that cannot be attributed to other neurological diseases. We present a rare case of neuro-Behçet's syndrome with acute internuclear ophthalmoplegia and deteriorating neurological function with a prior history of recurrent oral ulcers with pathergy-like features, acneiform papulopustular rash, retinal hemorrhages, and recurrent epididymitis without genital ulcers.
