Statement Of Problem: A less invasive and more convenient workflow is needed for dynamic navigation-guided implant surgery for the edentulous arch.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of a novel dynamic navigation device developed for the completely edentulous mandible.
Material And Methods: Two temporary 1-piece mini-implants were placed in the anterior region of a completely edentulous mandibular model for fixation of the navigation device. A total of 40 implants were inserted in 10 completely edentulous mandibular models with the aid of the dynamic navigation device. The accuracy of placement was determined by overlapping the preoperative plan with the postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The difference in the accuracy at different implant positions was compared by MANOVA and Bonferroni-corrected ANOVAs. The difference in accuracy between implants #1-20 and #21-40 was assessed for learning progression.
Results: The deviation of the implants (mean ±standard deviation) was 1.14 ±0.50 mm at the entry point and 1.29 ±0.48 mm at the apex. The mean ±standard deviation angular deviation was 3.02 ±1.32 degrees. No significant difference was seen between the planned and the placed deviation among the 4 implant positions. After repeated placement with this dynamic approach, implant accuracy at the entry (P=.001) and apex (P=.017) improved significantly.
Conclusions: The navigation device achieved acceptable implant placement accuracy in the edentulous mandible. Deviations between the planned and placed locations were not affected by different implant positions. After repeated operations with this dynamic approach, accuracy at the entry and apex improved significantly.

Background: Reliable language mappings require sufficient language skills. This study evaluated whether linguistic task properties impact feasibility and reliability of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS)-based language mappings in aphasic glioma patients.
Methods: The effect of linguistic complexity on naming accuracy during baseline testing without stimulation and on the number of errors during nTMS was evaluated for 16 moderately and 4 severely expressive aphasic patients.

Introduction: The ubiquity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) personal smartphones, Instant Messaging (IM), and third-party apps, has made these technologies compelling for efficient communications between clinicians regarding patient care. However, the sensitivity of patient-related information necessitates secure, GDPR compliant modalities that prevent unauthorised access and ensure confidentiality. This scoping review explores existing guidelines, policies, and regulations that advise clinicians in the UK and Ireland on the secure use of these digital communication tools.

People with paralysis express unmet needs for peer support, leisure activities and sporting activities. Many within the general population rely on social media and massively multiplayer video games to address these needs. We developed a high-performance, finger-based brain-computer-interface system allowing continuous control of three independent finger groups, of which the thumb can be controlled in two dimensions, yielding a total of four degrees of freedom.

Percutaneous transthoracic puncture of small pulmonary nodules is technically challenging. We developed a novel electromagnetic navigation puncture system for the puncture of sub-centimeter lung nodules by combining multiple deep learning models with electromagnetic and spatial localization technologies. We compared the performance of DL-EMNS and conventional CT-guided methods in percutaneous lung punctures using phantom and animal models.
