We demonstrate and characterize a source of Li atoms made from direct metal laser sintered titanium. The source's outgassing rate is measured to be 5(2) × 10 Pa L s at a temperature T = 330 °C, which optimizes the number of atoms loaded into a magneto-optical trap. The source loads ≈10Li atoms in the trap in ≈1 s. The loaded source weighs 700 mg and is suitable for a number of deployable sensors based on cold atoms.

Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses a 3D-printed external cranial device designed to protect the head after a decompressive craniectomy, which is a surgery that removes part of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain.
  • - The study reports that using this device significantly reduces the formation of contralateral subdural effusion, helps correct midline shift, and aids in neurological recovery.
  • - It includes information on the design, manufacturing process of the device, and features comparative CT images of a patient to illustrate its effectiveness.

Background: Physical vascular phantoms are instrumental in studying intracranial aneurysms and testing relevant imaging tools and training systems to provide improved clinical care. Current vascular phantom production methods have major limitations in capturing the biophysical and morphological characteristics of intracranial aneurysms with good fidelity and multi-modal imaging capacity. With stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology becoming more accessible, newer flexible and transparent printing materials with higher precision controls open the door for improving the efficiency and quality of producing anthropomorphic vascular phantoms but have rarely been explored for the application.

Uneven pressure distribution within a transtibial prosthetic socket can lead to discomfort, skin degradation, and suspended prosthesis use. Current custom interfaces to improve pressure distribution are often costly, time-intensive to fabricate, or cannot be incorporated into standard socket fabrication methods. In this technical note, we describe the design and preliminary clinical evaluation of a novel transtibial prosthetic socket insert with modifiable mechanical properties, which can be incorporated into the current clinical cycle of care.

Background And Objective: Neuronavigation in ventriculoscopy has been described in several papers. However, there are different ventriculoscopes and navigation systems. Because of these different combinations, it is difficult to find detailed navigation protocols for each ventriculoscope.

: 3D patient-specific corrective osteotomies are optimized for use with oscillating saws, thereby rendering it incapable of executing curved osteotomies. The aim of this technical note is to introduce and evaluate the Panflute technique, which facilitates curved osteotomies with precise depth control for intra-articular corrective osteotomies in posttraumatic tibial plateau malunions. : A 33-year-old male patient with an intra-articular malunion was treated one year after index surgery of a lateral split-depression tibial plateau fracture with the Panflute technique.
