A substructure is required for an implant-supported fixed complete denture that is sufficiently strong and supportive to function reliably. A novel prefabricated modular system that allows for the analog generation of a passively fitting, supportive, titanium framework for a 4-implant fixed complete denture is described. The process allows the delivery of an immediate, definitive prosthesis on the same or the next day.

Maxillomandibular Advancement Safety and Effectiveness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
Objective: To provide an updated evaluation of clinical effectiveness and sequelae of maxillomandibular advancement surgery in obstructive sleep apnea.
Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL.
Review Methods: Included studies described patients with obstructive sleep apnea that completed maxillomandibular advancement with any reported sequelae.
Biomechanical gait impairments, such as reduced paretic propulsion, are common post-stroke. Studies have used biofeedback to increase paretic propulsion and reduce propulsion asymmetry, but it is unclear if these changes impact overall gait asymmetry. There is an implicit assumption that reducing propulsion asymmetry will improve overall gait symmetry, as paretic propulsion has been related to numerous biomechanical impairments.

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent or treat prolonged grief symptoms among families of patients who die in intensive care units (ICU).
Introduction: Up to 52% of families of patients who die in ICU may be at risk of experiencing prolonged grief symptoms.
Inclusion Criteria: Studies of adult family members (≥18 years) of adult ICU patients (≥18 years) who underwent a treatment withdrawal or withholding decision, and who were exposed to tailored interventions to prevent or treat prolonged grief symptoms before, during, and/or after the patient's death will be considered for inclusion.
Grounding computational cognitive models.
Psychol Rev
January 2025
Department of Psychology, State University of New York at Albany.
Cognitive scientists and neuroscientists are increasingly deploying computational models to develop testable theories of psychological functions and make quantitative predictions about cognition, brain activity, and behavior. Computational models are used to explain target phenomena such as experimental effects, individual, and/or population differences. They do so by relating these phenomena to the underlying components of the model that map onto distinct cognitive mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how self-esteem and interpersonal relationships affect the perception of verbal violence using event-related potentials (ERPs).
- The research involved 73 participants who completed self-esteem assessments and responded to stimuli containing violent words within sentences about friends and strangers.
- Results indicated that higher self-esteem correlated with increased emotional response to verbal violence from friends, while stranger-related violence did not show the same effect, suggesting a complex interplay between self-esteem, relational context, and the processing of verbal aggression.
