The Coulomb interaction among massless Dirac fermions in graphene is unscreened around the isotropic Dirac points, causing a logarithmic velocity renormalization and a cone reshaping. In less symmetric Dirac materials possessing anisotropic cones with tilted axes, the Coulomb interaction can provide still more exotic phenomena, which have not been experimentally unveiled yet. Here, using site-selective nuclear magnetic resonance, we find a non-uniform cone reshaping accompanied by a bandwidth reduction and an emergent ferrimagnetism in tilted Dirac cones that appear on the verge of charge ordering in an organic compound. Our theoretical analyses based on the renormalization-group approach and the Hubbard model show that these observations are the direct consequences of the long-range and short-range parts of the Coulomb interaction, respectively. The cone reshaping and the bandwidth renormalization, as well as the magnetic behaviour revealed here, can be ubiquitous and vital for many Dirac materials.

: Sinus lifting, a procedure to augment bone in the maxilla, may cause complications such as sinusitis due to impaired drainage. This study aimed to assess how sinus lifting impacts airflow in the sinus cavity, which is essential for patients undergoing dental implants. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this research analyzed airflow changes after sinus floor elevation, offering insights into the aerodynamic consequences of the procedure.

The most popular surgical procedures among orthognathic surgeries for Class II and III patients are Le Fort 1 osteotomy for the maxilla and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for the mandible. Keeping the condyle in its proper place during fixation is one of the difficulties of orthognathic surgery. One of the worst post-orthognathic surgery consequences in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area may be condylar resorption.

Background: Although in breast reshaping, the restoration of a suitable mammary cone is the main goal of the procedure, long-lasting upper pole fullness preservation is the most common weak point of all mastopexy. Mastopexy is a challenging procedure, and a surgical procedure to create desirable long-lasting results has not been well standardized. In this paper, the authors report their experiences in structural mastopexy procedures, describing three different adipo-glandular flaps, each repositioned as auto-prosthesis to reshape upper pole contour in patients affected by a severe degree of breast ptosis.

Introduction: In the treatment of malocclusion, continuous monitoring of the three-dimensional relationship between dental roots and the surrounding alveolar bone is essential for preventing complications from orthodontic procedures. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides detailed root and bone data, but its high radiation dose limits its frequent use, consequently necessitating an alternative for ongoing monitoring.
Objectives: We aimed to develop a deep learning-based cross-temporal multimodal image fusion system for acquiring root and jawbone information without additional radiation, enhancing the ability of orthodontists to monitor risk.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal shape of customized lenticules for stromal lenticule addition keratoplasty (SLAK) for off-centered ectasia.
Methods: Two different methods to create ex vivo models of eccentric-keratoconus were investigated. Twelve human corneas were used to create model 1 by a hyperopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and model 2 by masked phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) on the anterior corneal surface, whereas both types received myopic ablation of the posterior surface.
