Artificial nails are an essential component of nail cosmetics. The artificial nails are either preformed and glued onto the existing nail plate or they are custom made by applying a polymerizing mixture to the existing nail plate and overlying the template with a paintbrush that is subsequently allowed to harden into an acrylic nail. Artificial nails require regular maintenance. Onychotillomania is a body-focused repetitive disorder in which the person is usually aware that they are picking at their nail and/or the surrounding soft tissue. A woman with onychotillomania affecting her artificial nails is described; although this may be a relatively common occurrence, additional reports of artificial nail-associated onychotillomania were not able to be retrieved from the medical literature. The woman was not only aware that she picked at her artificial nails, but also realized that the action might result in adverse events to her natural nails and the corresponding digits. She desired no interventions for her nail-associated repetitive behavior and continued to regularly visit the nail salon for the application of new artificial custom acrylic nails. The acronym ANASON is introduced to define the condition of artificial nail-associated onychotillomania.

Background: Complex fractures of the trochanteric region, as well as fractures located in the directly subtrochanteric region, are controversially discussed around the world regarding the nail type to be used. A long nail is recommended by manufacturers but requires longer surgical and fluoroscopy times. A possible solution could be a nail with an appropriate length which can be locked in a minimally invasive manner by the main aiming device.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of bone nail and artificial periosteum combined with iliac cancellous bone grafting in repairing cleft lip and palate with alveolar cleft during dental replacement.
Methods: The clinical data of 82 children with cleft lip and palate with alveolar cleft during dental replacement period were retrospectively analyzed from January 2020 to December 2023, and were divided into control group (iliac cancellous bone grafting alone, n=42) and experimental group (combined iliac cancellous bone grafting with bone nail and artificial periosteum, n=40) according to the operation method. The viable bone volume in bone graft area, absorption rate of whole bone graft and different bone graft areas, success rate of bone graft, survival rate of bone graft and complications were compared between the two groups.
Five states of reduction in OTA/AO A1.3 intertrochanteric fractures of the femur a biomechanical study.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how different reduction conditions affect the mechanical stability of OTA/AO 31A1.3 intertrochanteric fractures using artificial femur models.
- - Twenty models were tested under five reduction states (positive support, neutral support, negative support, varus fixation, and valgus fixation), revealing significant differences in subsidence displacement and axial stiffness among these groups.
- - The findings indicate that positive support offers the best mechanical stability for these fractures, suggesting it should be the preferred surgical approach, while varus fixation should be avoided for better stability outcomes.
Construction Jobsite Image Classification Using an Edge Computing Framework.

Image classification is increasingly being utilized on construction sites to automate project monitoring, driven by advancements in reality-capture technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). Deploying real-time applications remains a challenge due to the limited computing resources available on-site, particularly on remote construction sites that have limited telecommunication support or access due to high signal attenuation within a structure. To address this issue, this research proposes an efficient edge-computing-enabled image classification framework for support of real-time construction AI applications.
