Rationale: COVID-19 has led to a resurgence in cases of mucormycosis, especially the rhino-orbital form affecting the oral cavity, nasal, orbital and cerebral regions.
Patient Concerns: The surgical treatment in this patient led to the exenteration of orbital contents and segmental maxillectomy of the affected side leading to facial disfigurement and inability to masticate.
Diagnosis: A combined mucormycosis-associated oro-orbital defect was present leading to a communication between oral and orbital cavities.
Treatment: Rehabilitation utilising digital technology for removable prosthesis was planned for the combined orbital and oral defect.
Outcomes: The independent intraoral and orbital prosthesis reduced the mobility of the orbital prosthesis while performing functional movements. The advancements in digital technology led to the convenient and resilient fabrication of prostheses for large facial defects.
Take-away Lessons: The prosthetic rehabilitation of a continuous orbital and oral defect with a hybrid of both digital and conventional means provided an aesthetic, feasible and financially sound solution to the patient.

It is challenging to achieve high-speed and accurate multicooperation of turtle-inspired amphibious spherical robots (ASRs) in turbid water and confined spaces when the robots are underwater movement with multiple degrees of freedom (MDOF). This paper innovatively proposes a control strategy for modelling and experimental platforms that can communicate and cooperate between multiple robots. First, a novel underwater kinematic model using the unit quaternion (UQ) algorithm is proposed based on attitude interpolation to realize MDOF movement.

United Theranostics, Bethesda, Maryland.
Computational nuclear oncology for precision radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) is a new frontier for theranostic treatment personalization. A key strategy relies on the possibility to incorporate clinical, biomarker, image-based, and dosimetric information in theranostic digital twins (TDTs) of patients to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. The TDT framework enables treatment optimization by real-time monitoring of the real-world system, simulation of different treatment scenarios, and prediction of resulting treatment outcomes, as well as facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing among health care professionals adopting a harmonized TDT.
