Adaptation of the anterior margin of implant-retained auricular prostheses may be compromised during mandibular movement. Loss of contact between prostheses and underlying skin in an esthetic area is of great concern. This article describes an impression procedure that addresses the problem of anterior margin adaptation.

To evaluate the effect of cystopexy on continence recovery after anterior-approach transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RaRP). We retrospectively analyzed continence recovery of patients with prostate cancer receiving RaRP in a transperitoneal anterior-approach manner with or without cystopexy. Continence recovery is defined as complete intact continence without safety pad utility.

Background: The T4 rectal cancers indicate beyond total mesorectal excision (TME) plane dissection with en bloc multivisceral resection for achieving R0 resection. Recent studies emphasize the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surgery in selected T4 rectal cancers. This study demonstrates a stepwise approach for robotic total pelvic exenteration (TPE) with en bloc presacral fascia in T4b rectal cancer, focusing on the internal iliac vessel branches management and presacral fascia resection.

The natural dynamics of the jaw during physical activity and its physiological mechanisms are not fully understood. However, teeth clenching during certain sports activities may be associated with increased strength, power, flexibility, and performance. This behavior is termed awake bruxism (AB) and can lead to intraoral damage, highlighting the importance of patient education and management.

A new genus, (Mesostigmata: Uropodina: Trematuridae), with as its type species, is described, based on a female, males, and deutonymphs collected in soil samples from the Seychelle Islands. The new genus belongs to the family Trematuridae based on the shape of the corniculi, gnathosomal setae, tritosternum and chelicerae. Members of the new genus bear a preanal suture on the ventral shield, two pairs or more pairs of wide, robust and sword-like setae on the caudal part of the dorsal shield, very dense setation on the caudal area of the marginal shield and an incision on the anterior part of the dorsal shield.

Here, we elucidate a mechanistic hierarchy in which mTOR-Wnt signaling orchestrates cytoskeletal tension to drive this process. Conditional ablation of mTOR in the lens ectoderm induces aberrant corneal-lenticular stalk formation and transdifferentiation of the ciliary margin into neural retina.
