Purpose: The goal of this systematic review is to assess the accuracy and complications (including failure) of dynamic navigation in placing zygomatic implants.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL), trial register (clinicaltrial.gov), and Google Scholar were searched systematically up to May 2020. In addition, the reference lists of included systematic reviews were hand searched. The New Castle Ottawa and Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports were used for quality assessment.
Results: Ninety-four studies were assessed, and finally, 12 articles were included. According to Joanna Briggs Institute tool, the mean score of case reports (±standard deviation) was 6.4 (range, 5/9 to 8/9) and the mean score of observational studies (±standard deviation) was 5.66 (range, 5/9 to 7/9) as measured by New Castle Ottawa tool. Included materials pointed out that higher accuracy and drastic cut down on the risk of perioperative/postoperative complications were reported by using the dynamic navigation system compared with freehand implant placement.
Conclusions: Application of dynamic navigation systems is a reliable technology for zygomatic implant placement, especially in difficult cases with a history of maxillary deficiency. Evidence of reliability and accuracy of dynamic navigation technique in multicenter large randomized and prospective controlled studies is still lacking.

Evolving Paradigms in Spinal Surgery: A Systematic Review of the Learning Curves in Minimally Invasive Spine Techniques.

Our research examines the learning curves of various minimally invasive lumbar surgeries to determine the benefits and challenges they pose to both surgeons and patients. The advent of microsurgical techniques since the 1960s, including advances in fluoroscopic navigation and intraoperative computed tomography, has significantly shifted spinal surgery from open to minimally invasive methods. This study critically evaluates surgical duration, intraoperative conversions to open surgery, and complications as primary parameters to gauge these learning curves.

Problem And Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common medical complication of pregnancy, and the emerging evidence demonstrates how GDM online communities have a positive impact on promoting self-management and improving outcomes. Further analysis of such groups can increase understanding of how peer support in GDM online communities is enabled and enacted.
Aim: To examine women's experiences of GDM online communities on Facebook, their motivations for participation, and perceptions of dynamics within the community.
Pursuing a target by wheel-legged mobile robot using NMPC while optimizing obstacles passing.

In this paper, trajectory tracking control as the pursuit of a specific target by wheel-legged mobile robots (WLMRs) in an environment with the presence of obstacles is presented. These types of robots are designed to navigate different paths such as slippery trajectories, paths with obstacles, and other challenging paths. In addition, the robot can move its legs in different surface conditions and operate more flexibly with the help of wheels attached to the legs.

This is particularly complex for intermediate-ranking animals, who navigate interactions with higher- and lower-ranking individuals. Using in situ hybridization, we examined how the brains of intermediate-ranked mice in hierarchies respond to dominant and subordinate stimuli by labeling activity-induced immediate early genes and neuronal markers.

The intensity and rigor of dissertation supervision are not reflected in workload calculations based on enrollments or clock hours. New faculty have few venues beyond personal experience to learn the challenges that supervision entails.
