Objective: This clinical case report describes a novel bendable abutment as a prosthetic solution for implants presenting with an unfavorable inclination.
Clinical Considerations: A metal-ceramic screw-retained single crown was made on this novel bendable abutment in a patient presenting with a pronounced buccal inclination of an implant. A plastic reference guide is used to define the correct inclination and then this inclination is transferred to the abutment using a specific bending device at the same appointment.
Conclusions: Bendable abutments can be used as a solution to correct unfavorable implant inclinations. This abutment can be customized at the same appointment considering a case-specific inclination rather than conventional pre-angled abutments.
Clinical Significance: Bendable abutments can be customized according to each case specificities while conventional pre-angled abutments may not be adequate for all patients. Also, the abutment customization could be easily done by dentists at their own practices using a specific bending device with hand pressure only, saving time, and the need to order pre-angled abutments or having it in stock.

As the trajectory of developing advanced electronics is shifting towards wearable electronics, various methods for implementing flexible and bendable devices capable of conforming to curvilinear surfaces have been widely investigated. In particular, achieving high-performance and stable flexible transistors remains a significant technical challenge, as transistors are fundamental components of electronics, playing a key role in overall performance. Among the wide range of candidates for flexible transistors, two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS)-based transistors have emerged as potential solutions to address these challenges.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the success and complication rates of retrograde intrarenal surgery for lower calyceal renal stones performed with novel tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheaths and standard ureteral access sheaths.
Methods: Between March 2023 and March 2024, a total of 88 patients underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery for lower renal calyceal stones smaller than 20 mm. Based on the access sheath used, patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=43) included patients treated with novel tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheaths and Group 2 (n=45) included patients treated with standard ureteral access sheaths.

Advanced tools for the in situ treatment of articular cartilage lesions are attracting a growing interest in both surgery and bioengineering communities. The interest is particularly high concerning the delivery of cell-laden hydrogels. The tools currently available in the state-of-the-art hardly find an effective compromise between treatment accuracy and invasiveness.

Article Synopsis
- The Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis faces challenges due to limitations in heterogeneous catalysis scaling relations.
- Researchers developed a new α-Fe metallic material (α-Fe-110s) that significantly improves ammonia production efficiency, achieving a rate of 1260 μmol g h without extra heating.
- By utilizing a unique stepped surface and photo-induced electron transfer, they enhanced the thermal catalytic activity by 3.8-fold compared to traditional catalysts, ultimately increasing ammonia production by 30 times under irradiation.
Wrinkled TiNAgNW Nanocomposites for High-Performance Flexible Electrodes on TEMPO-Oxidized Nanocellulose.

In this study, we present a novel method for fabricating semi-transparent electrodes by combining silver nanowires (AgNW) with titanium nitride (TiN) layers, resulting in conductive nanocomposite coatings with exceptional electromechanical properties. These nanocomposites were deposited on cellulose nanopaper (CNP) using a plasma-enhanced pulsed laser deposition (PE-PLD) technique at low temperatures (below 200 °C). Repetitive bending tests demonstrate that incorporating AgNW into TiN coatings significantly enhances the microstructure, increasing the electrode's electromechanical robustness by up to four orders of magnitude compared to commercial PET/ITO substrates.
