Purpose: Primary implant stability is critical to achieving implant success, especially in a situation with immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) when bone quality and quantity are compromised. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of implant morphology (tapered vs cylindric) and the final drill-implant diameter discrepancy (FD-IDD) of six implant systems on the incidence of rotational instability during IIPP in the esthetic zone.
Materials And Methods: One hundred seventy-one implants in 112 patients were evaluated. Implants that exhibited inadequate resistance to the torque generated by the surgeon's hand during implant placement were classified as rotationally unstable.
Results: The overall incidence of rotational instability for the tapered implants (1.1%) was significantly lower than that exhibited by the cylindric (nontapered) implants (20.5%). Among the cylindric implants, those with < 0.5 mm FD-IDD experienced a significantly higher incidence of rotational instability (36.6%) than groups with ≥ 0.5 mm FD-IDD. The incidence of rotational instability of cylindric implants with ≥ 0.5 mm FD-IDD was significantly greater than that of the tapered implants with a comparable FD-IDD.
Conclusion: Within the confines of this study, the use of a tapered implant with an FD-IDD of ≥ 0.5 mm minimized the incidence of rotational implant instability for the IIPP procedure.

Purpose: To propose a new sign of patellar maltracking in recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) and compare the differences in lower limb rotational and bony structural abnormalities among the different signs.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study included 279 patients (mean age: 22 years; female: 81%) who underwent primary surgery for RPD over the past 4 years was performed. The patients were grouped based on the characteristics of patellar tracking: low-, moderate- and high-grade J-sign.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of shoulder pain, level of functional performance, and morphological involvement of the rotator cuff on ultrasound in morbidly obese patients.
Methods: The study included 54 morbidly obese patients receiving follow-up care in a bariatric surgery outpatient clinic, which were compared with a control group consisting of 49 participants. Presence of shoulder pain, shoulder functional performance, ultrasound of the rotator cuff and blood tests were the parameters evaluated.
Time-varying 3D optical torque via a single beam.

The spin angular momentum (SAM) plays a significant role in light-matter interactions. It is well known that light carrying SAM can exert optical torques on micro-objects and drive rotations, but 3D rotation around an arbitrary axis remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate full control of the 3D optical torque acting on a trapped microparticle by tailoring the vectorial SAM transfer.

We present a novel photoreconfigurable metasurface designed for independent and efficient control of electromagnetic waves with identical incident polarization and frequency across the entire spatial domain. The proposed metasurface features a three-layer architecture: a top layer incorporating a gold circular split ring resonator (CSRR) filled with perovskite material and dual -shaped perovskite resonators; a middle layer of polyimide dielectric; and a bottom layer comprising a perovskite substrate with an oppositely oriented circular split ring resonator filled with gold. By modulating the intensity of a laser beam, we achieve autonomous manipulation of incident circularly polarized terahertz waves in both transmission and reflection modes.

The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor remains a great threat for the beekeeping industry, for example contributing to excessive winter colony loss in Canada. For decades, beekeepers have sequentially used the registered synthetic varroacides tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos, amitraz, and flumethrin, leading to the risk of resistance evolution in the mites. In addition to the widespread resistance to coumaphos and pyrethroids, a decline in amitraz efficacy has recently been reported in numerous beekeeping regions in Canada.
