With careful restorative planning and surgical placement, dental implants can be used to support and retain a wide range of esthetic prostheses. When implant planning or surgical executions are less than ideal, however, the resulting restorative space can be a significant obstacle to successful treatment. The aim of this article is to describe the use of a customized anterior bar to support a partial overdenture prosthesis for a youthful patient with a high smile line and a limited restorative space of 6 mm. Details of the treatment and an illustration of the customized design are also presented.

Objectives: Restriction of life space mobility is associated with adverse health outcomes including depression, morbidity, mortality and poorer quality of life. In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of COVID-19 and associated employment loss on the life space of older adults in Singapore.
Methods: An in-person survey was administered to a cohort of older Singaporeans above 50 years old (N = 1,118).
Visual Improvement Following Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Orbital Apex Vascular Tumor.

Orbital apex lesions represent a clinical challenge since they are difficult to remove surgically and may induce significant functional defects. The orbital apex is an area of convergence of neurovascular elements passing through the various local osseous foramina and the congestion of several critical anatomical structures in a confined space increases the risk of intraoperative complications. Radiotherapy is an alternative treatment option in such cases but may also induce radiation toxicity.

Wild bee communities are the target of various conservation and ecological restoration programs. Strategic conservation can influence bee communities visiting fields and help mitigate pollinator limitations in fruit production. However, planning compatible conservation strategies and gauging their effectiveness requires understanding how local communities vary across space and time in crops and adjacent semi-natural areas.

Microrobots are poised to transform biomedicine by enabling precise, noninvasive procedures. However, current magnetic microrobots, composed of solid monolithic particles, present fundamental challenges in engineering intersubunit interactions, limiting their collective effectiveness in navigating irregular biological terrains and confined spaces. To address this, we design hierarchically assembled microrobots with multiaxis mobility and collective adaptability by engineering the potential magnetic interaction energy between subunits to create stable, self-reconfigurable structures capable of carrying and protecting cargo internally.

Amid rapid urbanization, land use shifts in cities globally have profound effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Birds, as a crucial component of urban biodiversity, are highly sensitive to environmental changes and often serve as indicator species for biodiversity. This study, using Shenzhen as a case study, integrates machine learning techniques with spatial statistical methods.
