Background: Treatment of hips with abnormal anatomy is challenging, and requires demanding surgical technique. We report the preoperative planning and the functional outcome of 38 patients with severe distorted anatomy who were treated with custom implants.
Patients And Methods: 38 consecutive patients (48 hips) were selected for customized femoral implants. The diagnosis was arthrosis due to congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH). We used plain radiographs, CT, and CAD-CAM analysis. The mean age was 47 (22-69) years and the mean preoperative D'Aubigne score was 10 (6-12). The mean follow-up time was 6 (4-8) years.
Results: All implants had optimal fit and fill. There were 2 revisions due to infection. No patients had thigh pain and no patients had aseptic loosening. There were 5 intraoperative and 6 postoperative complications. The mean postoperative D'Aubigne score was 17 (10-18).
Interpretation: Preoperative planning with modern technology and customized implants makes the procedure accurate, easier for the surgeon, and safer for the patient.

Objective: Time distortions characterise severe mental disorders, exhibiting different clinical and neurobiological manifestations. This systematic review aims to explore the existing literature encompassing experimental studies on time perception in patients with bipolar disorder (BD), considering psychopathological and cognitive correlates.
Methods: Studies using an experimental paradigm to objectively measure the capacity to judge time have been searched for.

Underwater images collected are often of low clarity and suffer from severe color distortion due to the marine environment and Illumination conditions. This directly impacts tasks such as marine ecological monitoring and underwater target detection, which rely on image processing. Therefore, enhancing Underwater images to improve their quality is necessary.

Avoiding severe structural distortion, irreversible phase transition, and realizing the stabilized multielectron redox are vital for promoting the development of high-performance NASICON-type cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a high-entropy NaVFeTiMnCr(PO) (HE-NaTMP) cathode material is prepared by ultrafast high-temperature shock, which inhibits the possibility of phase separation and achieves reversible and stable multielectron transfer of 2.4/2.

Background: Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) presentation includes gross distorted ramus, malposition temporomandibular joint, small glenoid fossa, distorted condyle and notch, malformed orbit, cupping ear or absent external ear, and facial nerve palsy. HFM is the second most prevalent congenital deformity of the face, with little literature from the South African population. This retrospective study elucidated the demographic characteristics and clinical presentations of HFM patients in a select South African population and compared it to the literature.

Intentional doping plays a pivotal role in customizing metal halides' electronic and optical features. This work manipulates the incorporation and distribution of Mn in Cu(I) halide by controlling the elemental steps involved in the growth-doping kinetics as well as investigates the localized lattice and electronic structures in different doping configurations. Complementary experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that a uniform and relatively high Mn doping level can be achieved by a step-tailored strategy that encompasses reducing the growth rate of the halide matrix, enhancing the surface adsorption of Mn, and facilitating the incorporation of the dopants.
