This article describes a technique for modifying an existing mandibular complete denture for use as a radiographic template with a radiopaque light-activated calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) preparation. This allows prosthetically driven treatment planning and the surgical placement of 2 implants to support the existing mandibular denture.

Introduction: The present article describes the processed data generated in a qualitative interview study and template analysis. Many women find the experience of being recalled and receiving a false-positive breast screening test result to be distressing. The interview study aimed to understand breast screening healthcare professionals' (HCPs) experiences of providing care during the recall process and when receiving false-positive screening test results, including their communication with women around false-positive screening test results.

Introduction: There is increasing evidence substantiating the advantages of Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) in healthcare. Despite this, global adoption is still in its infancy. Whilst there has been some recognition of the importance of collaborative practice in healthcare, implementation of IPECP programs remain limited in many countries.

Real-time lung extraction from synthesized x-rays improves pulmonary image-guided radiotherapy.

Lung tumors can be obscured in X-rays, preventing accurate and robust localization. To improve lung conspicuity for image-guided procedures, we isolate the lungs in the anterior-posterior (AP) X-rays using a lung extraction network (LeX-net) that virtually removes overlapping thoracic structures, including ribs, diaphragm, liver, heart, and trachea. Approach: 73,965 thoracic 3DCTs and 106 thoracic 4DCTs were included.

Purpose: Restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) TKA is relatively newer technique for achieving an overall under-corrected limb alignment. The present study aims to provide an easy and reproducible technique for achieving calipered rKA-TKA (crKA-TKA) using routine instrumentation.

Method: A prospective study was conducted including 30 patients (30 knees).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study addresses the lack of suitable brain templates for cynomolgus monkeys in neuroscience research, highlighting the need for better tools to analyze neuroimaging data due to age-related changes in brain structure and function.
  • - To improve data analysis accuracy, a comprehensive set of stereotaxic brain templates has been developed, which includes various MRI and PET templates for different stages of development in cynomolgus monkeys.
  • - These new templates allow for precise localization and segmentation of brain structures, enabling more reliable studies of brain anatomy and metabolic function in non-human primates.
