Pterygoid implant placement has been proven to be a viable option in full-arch implant rehabilitation for extremely atrophic maxillae. Nevertheless, the utilization of pterygoid implants remains a challenge for the dentist due to the difficulties of accessing the surgical site and poor visibility. To address these difficulties, digital techniques have been used to enhance the accuracy of pterygoid implant placement. This clinical case describes the application of an autonomous robot system to enhance the precision and efficacy of pterygoid implant placement. The results demonstrated that the integration of automation and real-time imaging provided by the robot system significantly improved the safety and accuracy of the surgical procedure.

Conjugate Gradient (CG) methods are widely used for solving large-scale nonlinear systems of equations arising in various real-life applications due to their efficiency in employing vector operations. However, the global convergence analysis of CG methods remains a significant challenge. In response, this study proposes scaled versions of CG parameters based on the renowned Barzilai-Borwein approach for solving convex-constrained monotone nonlinear equations.

Gait disturbance is one of the most common symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) that is closely associated with poor clinical outcomes. Recently, video-based human pose estimation (HPE) technology has attracted attention as a cheaper and simpler method for performing gait analysis than marker-based 3D motion capture systems. However, it remains unclear whether video-based HPE is a feasible method for measuring temporospatial and kinematic gait parameters in patients with PD and how this function varies with camera position.

Modularly organizing active micromachines into high-grade metamachines makes a great leap for operating the microscopic world in a biomimetic way. However, modulating the nonreciprocal interactions among different colloidal motors through chemical reactions to achieve the controllable construction of active colloidal metamachines with specific dynamic properties remains challenging. Here, we report the phototactic active colloidal metamachines constructed by shape-directed dynamic self-assembly of chemically driven peanut-shaped TiO colloidal motors and Janus spherical Pt/SiO colloidal motors.
