Article Abstract

In this Letter, the optical properties of randomly positioned silicon nanowire arrays are studied. The result shows that position randomization with a filling ratio larger than 36% renders better absorptance over a broadband ranging from 300 to 1130 nm compared to regular structures. The ultimate efficiency of a 48% filling ratio position randomized nanowire structure is 13.4% higher compared to the optimized regularly arranged nanowire structure with the same thickness. The absorptance enhancement of random structures is attributed to lowered reflectance, more supported resonant modes, and broadening of existing resonance.

Background: Accurate acetabular cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for successful outcomes. Intraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to evaluate acetabular cup placement. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of purely visual estimation of cup inclination and anteversion using intraoperative fluoroscopy, considering different surgeon experience levels and cup designs.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of static guided surgery using a pilot drill guide and dynamic guided surgery for dental implant placement.

Materials And Methods: Partially edentulous adult patients requiring implant placement were randomly assigned to either the static guided surgery group using a pilot drill guide or the dynamic guided surgery group. Digital implant planning was conducted using intraoral scans and CBCT with planning software to determine the optimal prosthetic position.

Stimulant use disorder (methamphetamine) represents a significant challenge in correctional settings, where over 40% of incarcerated individuals may be affected. Despite limited access to evidence-based treatments, psychiatric nurses are uniquely positioned to deliver psychosocial interventions. This randomized controlled trial evaluated an 8-week nurse-led cognitive behavioural therapy intervention among 72 incarcerated men with stimulant use disorder (methamphetamine) in Turkey.
