The aim of our study was to compare the use of the Orthopilot Navigation system with conventional non-navigation technique for medial UKA with respect to the intraoperative mechanical limb alignment measurements and correlation with the postoperative radiological measurements. The postoperative mechanical limb alignment axes of 51 consecutive medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty performed by a single surgeon over a 12-month period were measured. The cases were randomly assigned to two groups of which 21 cases were performed using conventional non-navigation based technique and 30 cases were performed using the Orthopilot Navigation System. Computed tomography (CT) scanogram was performed for all cases within the same hospitalization stay to assess the postoperative mechanical limb alignment. Our results showed that the non-navigated group had a more neutral mechanical axis with a narrower range compared to the navigation assisted group. The difference in the mean mechanical axis between the two groups was statistically not significant. There was poor correlation between the intraoperative navigation system measurements and the postoperative radiological measurements. In conclusion, the use of computer navigation in UKA is not as well validated as compared to TKA. We did not demonstrate any improvement in postoperative axial limb alignment measurement in using a computer navigation system compared to conventional non-navigation technique.

Objective: The production of 3-dimensional models and materials according to preoperative virtual surgical planning is a time-consuming process and causes high costs. We aimed to demonstrate the navigation mediated reconstruction of the patients who underwent the removal of a tumoral mass in midfacial region according to their preoperatively prepared surgical plannings.
Study Design: Patients who underwent the removal of tumoral mass and reconstruction in their midfacial region were included in the study.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of cavity designs on instrumentation, obturation and fracture resistance for mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal.
Methods: Mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal were scanned with micro-CT. 20 teeth with moderately curved canal were prepared with conservative endodontic cavity (CEC/M) or traditional endodontic cavity (TEC/M), and 30 with severely curved canal were prepared with CEC (CEC/S), modified CEC (MCEC/S) or TEC (TEC/S).

In today's technologically advanced landscape, precision in navigation and positioning holds paramount importance across various applications, from robotics to autonomous vehicles. A common predicament in location-based systems is the reliance on Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, which may exhibit diminished accuracy and reliability under certain conditions. Moreover, when integrated with the Inertial Navigation System (INS), the GPS/INS system could not provide a long-term solution for outage problems due to its accumulated errors.

As electric vehicles gain popularity, there has been a lot of interest in supporting their continued development with the aim of enhancing their dependability, environmental advantages, and charging efficiency. The scheduling of navigation and charging for electric vehicles is among the most well-known research topics. For optimal navigation and charging scheduling, the coupled network state between the transportation and power networks must be met; moreover, the scheduling outcomes might significantly impact these networks.
