Background: Between November 1992 and January 1999, a cohort of 102 thrust plate hip prostheses was implanted.
Methods: We now clinically and radiologically evaluate the remaining 73 prostheses with a mean follow-up of 17.2 years.
Results: The Harris Hip Score increased from 51.4 points preoperatively to 94.3 points at the time of this follow-up. No further changes in the radiologic findings occurred since the first follow-up, published in 2005, conducted 2-8 years after implantation. Within 15 to 20 years after primary implantation of the 102 prostheses, 6 aseptic loosenings occurred, which correspond to a cumulated survival rate of 94.7% at 17 and 91.8% at 18 years.
Conclusion: Although the thrust plate hip prostheses is no longer marketed, the biomechanical behaviour of this unique, clinically successful prosthesis deserves attention.

Background: Despite extensive studies of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic magmatic history of Svalbard, little has been done on the Paleozoic magmatism due to fewer available outcrops.
Methods: 2D seismic reflection data were used to study magmatic intrusions in the subsurface of eastern Svalbard.
Results: This work presents seismic evidence for west-dipping, Middle Devonian-Mississippian sills in eastern Spitsbergen, Svalbard.

The uneven electric field and slow Zn desolvation lead to rapid dendrite growth during Zn plating and stripping, which severely deteriorates the performance of Zn metal anodes (ZMAs) in Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs). Although polymer-based artificial protective (PBAP) layers are widely applied to homogenize the electric field of ZMAs, they often fail to promote the desolvation process that eventually induces Zn dendrite growth. Herein, a bi-functional protective layer, comprising a finger-like porous matrix of polysulfone (PSF) and a hydroxyl-rich filler of agarose (AG), is constructed to suppress Zn dendrite growth.

Article Synopsis
- Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are crucial for controlling dynamic movements like basketball jump shots, particularly under defensive pressure from a shot blocker.
- A study involving 14 male university basketball players revealed that jump shots performed under pressure resulted in shorter APA duration but increased ground reaction force (GRF) and jump height.
- The findings indicate that defensive pressure negatively impacts jump shot performance by shortening APAs and correlating increased sway during the adjustment phase with decreased shooting accuracy.
