Introduction And Objectives: Urethral-vesical and bladder foreign bodies by electric cables are the most uncommon. The objectives of this article are to present the first worldwide case of urethro-vesical foreign body by the cable of a video game and to review the 5 Spanish publications.
Clinical Case: 14-year-old male attending the emergency department for urethral cable retention, urethralgia, hypogastric pain and malodorous urine incontinence. Simple abdominal radiography showed a ball of retained cable in the bladder coming out through the meatus. He was operated on by performing a cystotomy. He was discharged 24 hours later.
Conclusions: Urethral and bladder foreign bodies by electric wire are a rare pathology. They can be due to different motivations. The treatment consists of the extraction of the cable, which can be carried out by endoscopic or open surgery depending on the size and morphology of the cable. It is advisable to study the mental state of these patients.

As a novel carbon-based material with two-dimensional (2D) characteristics, graphdiyne (GDY) shows great potential in constructing active catalytic sites due to its distinctive atomic configuration and sp/sp conjugated hybrid two-dimensional networks. In this study, the layered GDY was synthesized using the ball milling method, and ZnCdS/Graphdiyne/NiO (ZnCdS/GDY/NiO) composite was synthesized by in-situ composite and physical mixing method. The prepared ZnCdS/GDY/NiO has good photostability outstanding performance in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients using conventional complete dentures (CD), single median dental implant retained over dentures (SIMOD) with over dentures retained by two dental implants (TIMOD).
Methods: Thirty completely edentulous patients (fifteen each arm) presented to the Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya were randomly selected for the SIMOD or TIMOD groups. Patients were initially provided with CD.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on rehabilitating maxillary single denture cases using two types of implant-retained attachments: telescopic and ball-and-socket, to see which provided better patient satisfaction.
- It involved 18 completely edentulous patients aged 45-60, where each received a maxillary single denture with different attachment systems, and their satisfaction was assessed immediately after and three months later.
- Results indicated that patients with telescopic attachments reported greater improvements in comfort, chewing, and overall satisfaction, while those with ball-and-socket attachments only noted better appearance, highlighting the advantages of telescopic systems.
Background: Detection of retained foreign bodies (FB) is a difficult task in both austere environments and emergency departments, particularly when they are radiolucent and not detectable by plain radiographs. Failure to identify and remove them can lead to increased morbidity.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of Special Forces (SF) medics in detecting wooden FBs in tissue models, using point-of-care ultrasound.
Maxillary Sinusitis Following Orthognathic Surgery: Should It Be Considered Odontogenic Sinusitis?
Clin Case Rep

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Henry Ford Health Detroit Michigan USA.
Maxillary sinusitis is a recognized complication following dental procedures, but its occurrence after orthognathic surgery, such as Le Fort osteotomies, remains less documented. This case report presents a 58-year-old female who developed unilateral maxillary sinusitis 23 years post-orthognathic surgery. The patient was asymptomatic, aside from occasional cacosmia, and was incidentally found to have sinus opacification on a computed tomography (CT) scan performed for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.
