Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether preoperative bladder neck thickness (BNT) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can guide surgical decisions in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) patients with a small volume (≤30 mL).

Materials And Methods: The clinical data of 403 patients were retrospectively collected. The Kappa consistency test was used to compare subjective (IPSS-voiding) and objective (Qmax) postoperative outcomes.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a complex, multiplanar deformity. In this study, we examined the interrelationships between various components of this deformity using weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT). We hypothesized that the severity of traditional axial plane deformities would correlate with malpositioning of the metatarsosesamoid complex, first-ray coronal rotational deformity, and malalignment of the hindfoot and midfoot.

Analysis of Acoustic Surface Wave Focused Unidirectional Interdigital Transducers Using Coupling-of-Mode Theory.

Micromachines (Basel)

December 2024

School of Physics and Electronic Information, Yunnan Normal University, No. 1 Yuhua Area, Chenggong District, Kunming 650500, China.

In cell or droplet separation, high acoustic wave energy of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device is required to generate sufficient acoustic radiation force. In this paper, the electrode width-control floating electrode focused unidirectional interdigital transducer (EWC-FEFUDT) is proposed due to its enhanced focusing properties. The performance of the EWC-FEFUDT is investigated using the Coupling-of-Mode (COM) theory, and the COM parameter is extracted using the Finite Element Method (FEM).

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate bone remodeling in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during canine distalization in obese individuals and compare it to that in normal-weight individuals. Additionally, the orthodontic tooth movement rates of obese individuals were measured and compared with those of normal-weight individuals.

Methods: Thirty-six patients (18 obese and 18 normal-weight) aged 12-18 years who were candidates for maxillary first premolar extraction for Angle Class II malocclusion were included in the study.

The prevailing narrative in scientific literature has long overemphasized the role of ocular axes in intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, perpetuating misconceptions that have led to unnecessary exclusions of patients. Historical assumptions, coupled with inconsistent terminology and statistical inaccuracies, have muddled clinical decision-making. This review delves into these misconceptions, offering a critical reassessment of their relevance.
