Background: Many patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) find it difficult to undergo dental care due to challenges caused by their condition, previous temporomandibular joint surgery or invasive dental procedures, and the impact of comorbid conditions. Managing routine dental care for some patients with TMD can be seen as challenging by some dental practitioners.
Objective: The objective of this study was to work with patients experiencing TMD and clinicians to co-produce recommendations aimed at helping general dentists to provide routine dental care for patients with TMD.
Virtual fencing technology uses on-animal devices to communicate boundaries via a warning audio tone and electrical pulse signals. There is currently limited validation work on sheep. This study used modified cattle eShepherd virtual fencing neckbands on reduced-wool sheep with clipped necks to enable automated trials with small groups across both day and night.

- Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) is a rare and typically benign kidney neoplasm, primarily affecting menopausal women, with few cases of malignancy reported.
- A case study highlights an 18-year-old male who had a cystic kidney tumor found incidentally during heart imaging and subsequently underwent an uneventful partial nephrectomy.
- After one year of follow-up, there have been no signs of local recurrence or disease progression, suggesting this case may contribute to guidelines for managing benign renal masses.
