Background/purpose: Dental implants have been a popular treatment for replacing missing teeth. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of engaging (hexagonal) and non-engaging (non-hexagonal) abutments in various six-unit fixed prosthesis on the stress distribution and loading located in the implant neck, implant abutment, and surrounding bone.
Materials And Methods: Three implants were digitally designed and inserted parallel to each other in edentulous sites of the maxillary right canine, maxillary right central incisor, and maxillary left canine. Titanium base engaging abutments, non-engaging abutments and connecting screws were designed. Five distinct models of 6-unit fixed dental prosthesis were created, each featuring different combinations of various abutments. Forces (45-degree angle) were applied to the prosthesis, allowing for the analysis of the stress distribution on the implant neck and abutments, and the maximum and minimum principal stress values on the cortical and trabecular bone.
Results: Von Mises stress values and stress distributions located in the implant neck region due to the applied loading forces were analyzed. The overall stress values were highest while employing the hexagonal abutments. The maxillary left canine with a hexagonal abutment (model 5) reported the highest von mises value (64.71 MPa) while the maxillary right canine with a non-hexagonal abutment (model 4) presented lowest von mises value (56.69 MPa).
Conclusion: The results suggest that both the various abutment combinations (engaging and non-engaging) on five different models have a similar influence on the distribution of stress within the implant system.

World Health Organization, Department of Noncommunicable Diseases, Rehabilitation and Disability, Disability and Rehabilitation Unit, Geneva, Switzerland.
Objective: This review aims to analyse the implications of the World Health Organization's 2021 world report on hearing, with a particular focus on the cochlear implant field. The objective is to understand the challenges and opportunities highlighted in the report and propose viable solutions for effective implementation within the cochlear implant community.
Methods: Following the release of the World Health Organization's world report on hearing, cochlear implant professionals explored and discussed the implications of the report with examples from various countries to understand the disparities in access, reimbursement policies, and social stigma associated with hearing loss.

Objectives: This study examined the relationships between electrophysiological measures of the electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (EABR) with speech perception measured in quiet after cochlear implantation (CI) to identify the ability of EABR to predict postoperative CI outcomes.
Methods: Thirty-four patients with congenital prelingual hearing loss, implanted with the same manufacturer's CI, were recruited. In each participant, the EABR was evoked at apical, middle, and basal electrode locations.

The 'Japanese paradox' of total hip arthroplasty: where are we going?

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan.
Introduction: There is a worldwide trend toward 'revisiting' cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). In Japan, however, cemented THAs accounts for 11%, and the percentage of cemented hemiarthroplasty is estimated to be less than 10%. This review was designed to reconsider the option of cemented THA and to encourage policy changes in Japan to support the best possible care for patients.

Background: We evaluated the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) computed tomography (CT)-like sequences compared to normal-resolution CT (NR-CT) and super-high-resolution CT (SHR-CT) for planning of cochlear implantation.
Methods: Six cadaveric temporal bone specimens were used. 3-T MRI scans were performed using radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold (STARVIBE), pointwise-encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA), and ultrashort time of echo (UTE) sequences.
