Recently, computer technology has made it possible to simulate implant placement, fabricate a precise surgical template based on the simulated implant locations, and fabricate a prosthesis prior to surgical placement of implants. Many successful patient treatments have been reported using this process, but little has been published regarding complications. This article reports on the misfit of an immediately loaded definitive fixed complete denture that had been fabricated prior to implant surgery. The prosthesis was designed and fabricated using computerized implant data. A surgical template was fabricated (Nobel Guide) from the computer data to guide implant placement using an "All-on-Four" design concept. Management of the prosthesis misfit is discussed along with subsequent clinical complications.

Left neck and right biceps muscle vibrations have similar effects on perceived body orientation.

Vibrating muscles to manipulate proprioceptive input creates the sensation of an apparent change in body position. This study investigates whether vibrating the right biceps muscle has similar effects as vibrating the left posterior neck muscles. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that both types of muscle vibration would shift the perception of healthy subjects' subjective straight-ahead (SSA) orientation in the horizontal plane to the left.

The granulate ambrosia beetle, Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky), and the black stem borer, Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) are important pests in ornamental nurseries in the eastern USA. These beetles are managed mainly using preventative trunk applications of pyrethroids, such as permethrin or bifenthrin when females typically fly out of woodlots and attack young trees in the spring. Verbenone and methyl salicylate are potential phytochemicals reported as repellants but not completely validated in ornamental nurseries for ambrosia beetle management as an alternative option.

Introduction: Transvaginal retropubic (TVT-R) and transobturator (TVT-O) midurethral slings are the main surgical options for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Surgical indications for each of them are defined by clinical and history presentation. These techniques play a particular role in SUI recurrence after a previous urinary incontinence surgery, although there are few studies comparing their efficacy.

This paper explores the concept of contractive mappings, contributing to the advancement of self-map extensions and fixed-point theorems within b-metric spaces. We introduce a new class of contractive mappings and demonstrate how they extend traditional contraction principles, offering a broader framework for analyzing fixed points in non-standard spaces. The main result of this study is a generalization of existing fixed-point theorems, supported by comprehensive corollaries, illustrative examples, and rigorous proofs.
