Article Abstract

The rotation axis equation of the simple articulator is built by the cylinder feature identification, which facilitates the rotation transform of the lower jaw data. Then the collision points and areas on the position of centric occlusion are found to form two collision couples. The virtual orientation of the lower and upper jaws model is realized by collision detection of the collision couples. Consequently the occlusal relation between the lower and upper jaws is established. It sets a good basis for the virtual adjustment of edentulous occlusal surface. The jaw movement of opening and closing in the state of hinge axis is also simulated accordingly.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy of the peripheral nerves often provoked by a preceding upper respiratory or gastrointestinal infection. Guillain-Barré Syndrome usually presents with symmetrical lower limb ascending weakness and decreased deep tendon reflexes. Here, we describe a case of an uncommon presentation of GBS presenting with upper extremity neuropathy and cranial nerve palsy in a 36-year-old Caucasian Army pilot.

Background: The increased utilization of social media platforms, including TikTok, has revolutionized the way that medical information is disseminated and consumed globally. Despite the benefits of rapidly accessible health information, the unregulated nature of TikTok raises significant concerns for the validity and reliability of medical advice. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the educational quality and accuracy of information presented on TikTok relating to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and cubital tunnel syndrome (CubTS), 2 common upper extremity conditions.

Objectives: Establishing paediatric DRLs is challenging due to sparse data availability. The objective was to assess paediatric fluoroscopic dose levels in Dutch clinical practice, as current diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) need updating following the European Guidelines on DRLs for Paediatric Imaging (PiDRL).

Material And Methods: Air Kerma-area Product (KAP) values were retrospectively collected from paediatric patients (0-18 years) who underwent fluoroscopic procedures in nine Dutch hospitals between 01-01-2017 and 01-06-2021.
