As spinal cord stimulation (SCS) becomes a staple of chronic pain management, the SCS industry must constantly evolve to ensure safety, convenience and enhanced efficacy. Beyond waveforms and size, MR-conditionality is a key differentiator sought out by physicians and patients when choosing SCS devices. Many common SCS complications, including lead migration, can affect the MR-conditionality. The authors reviewed literature published between 2015 and 2024 using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, as well as US FDA labels for magnetic resonance imaging and technical manuals with further confirmation from local representatives. Through extensive review of the literature and direct extraction from each SCS device company, the authors aimed to investigate the specific terms of MR-conditionality under various circumstances. This article provides a collective reference of the MR-conditionality of the currently available SCS devices under normal conditions, as well as with common failure modes, such as lead migration, lead fracture and battery detachment.

Long-term erosion by acidic solutions in karst regions leads to continuous deterioration of the physical and mechanical properties at the interfaces of engineering structures, adversely affecting their operational performance. To investigate the degradation patterns of the mechanical properties and corrosion mechanisms of the concrete‒limestone composite (CLC) after exposure to acidic corrosion, three kinds of CLC samples treated with acidic solutions of different pH values were fabricated. Mechanical property analysis was conducted via triaxial compression testing methods.

The frozen storage of biopharmaceuticals brings new challenges to the primary packaging material. Due to an increasing demand and the downsides of standard type I glass vials, such as vial breakage, novel vial types for special applications of parenteral drug products have been introduced to the market in the past years. Mechanical stresses due to dimensional changes experienced during freezing and thawing could change the material properties, hence affecting the interaction with the drug product stored in the vial or functionality such as overall integrity.

Introduction: Developmental disorders (DDs) affect approximately 1 in 6 children in the United States. Early identification and treatment improve developmental outcomes and child and family functioning. Disparities exist in the diagnosis of DD that leads to inequitable access to developmental services during important periods of neuroplasticity.

As the world electrifies, global battery production is expected to surge. However, batteries are both difficult to produce at the gigawatt-hour scale and sensitive to minor manufacturing variation. As a result, the battery industry has already experienced both highly-visible safety incidents and under-the-radar reliability issues-a trend that will only worsen if left unaddressed.

Background: Increasing demand for durable and aesthetically pleasing dental restorations, including laminates, inlays, onlays, and crowns, has led to advancements in all-ceramic systems, particularly with the development of advanced lithium disilicate materials. However, limited data on the fit accuracy and fracture resistance of these materials restricts their wider application in clinical restorative practices.
Aim Of The Study: This in vitro study aims to compare the marginal and internal fit, assess the fracture resistance, and evaluate the failure modes of crowns fabricated from advanced and conventional lithium disilicate materials.
