Objectives: To investigate the effect of implant-abutment connection and screw channel angle on screw stability by comparing a newly introduced and an established connection, before and after cyclic loading.
Materials And Methods: Implants (N = 44) with Torcfit (TF) or Crossfit (CF) connection were divided to be restored with a straight (CFS and TFS) or an angled screw access channel (CFA and TFA) titanium-base abutment (n = 11). CFA and TFA received screw-retained crowns, whereas CFS and TFS received hybrid zirconia abutments and cement-retained crowns. The initial torque value (ITV) of each complex (ITV ) and removal torque value (RTV) after 24 h (RTV ) were measured. Screws were replaced with new ones, ITVs were recorded again (ITV ), and crowns were cyclically loaded (2.4 million cycles, 98 N) to measure RTVs again (RTV ). Percentage torque loss was calculated. Data were analyzed (α = 0.05).
Results: ITVs were similar among groups (p ≥ .089). CF led to higher RTVs (p ≤ .002), while CFS had higher RTV than CFA (p = .023). After 24 h, CFS had lower percentage torque loss than TF, while CFA had lower percentage torque loss than TFA (p ≤ .011). After cyclic loading, CF led to lower percentage torque (p < .001).
Conclusion: The implant-abutment connection affected the removal torque values. However, no screw loosening occurred during cyclic loading, which indicated a stable connection for all groups. Screw access channel angle did not affect screw stability after cyclic loading.

This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based on 24 sectors direct torque command (DTC) for a doubly-fed induction machine (DFIM) by using a 3-level neutral point clamped inverter. The DTC approach is used in this paper with 24 sectors based on the ANFIS regulator to minimize the torque fluctuations, flux fluctuations, and stator stream THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the DFIM drive. The composed technique is accomplished by replacing the hysteresis controllers of the flux and torque with the ANFIS controller.

Purpose: The imbalance of muscle strength indicators has a negative impact on players. Lower limb muscle imbalance can cause gait abnormalities and increase the risk of muscle injury or decreased performance in significantly asymmetrical situations. This study aims to assess the lower limb muscle imbalance and gait feature between the dominant and non-dominant sides of badminton players and the associations between the two variables.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined differences in recovery between males and females after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) focusing on physical and psychological aspects as well as return to sport (RTS) rates.
- - Results showed that males had better recovery scores on measures like the ACL-RSI and the IKDC, with a higher percentage returning to pivoting sports compared to females at 24 months post-operation.
- - Overall, females exhibited lower physical performance, subjective function, and psychological readiness for RTS, highlighting a need for tailored recovery strategies based on sex.
