Article Abstract
Background/purpose: Pterygoid implant is a promising solution for patients with a partially or fully edentulous atrophic maxilla. However, whether dynamic navigation system will improve the accuracy of pterygoid implant surgery is still unknown. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of dynamic navigation and free-hand approaches in pterygoid implant placement in completely edentulous maxilla models.
Materials And Methods: Twenty three-dimensional (3D)-printed edentulous maxilla models were assigned to two groups: the dynamic navigation system group and the free-hand group. Two pterygoid implants were planned in the bilateral pterygomaxillary area and then placed in each model. The entry, exit and angle deviations of the pterygoid implants were measured after pre- and post-operative cone-beam CT (CBCT) image fusion. Student's t test and Mann-Whitney test were used. A value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 40 pterygoid implants were placed in 20 models. The comparison deviation of the dynamic navigation group and the free-hand group showed a mean (±SD) entry deviation of 0.93 ± 0.46 mm vs. 2.28 ± 1.08 mm ( < 0.001), an exit deviation of 1.37 ± 0.52 mm vs. 3.14 ± 1.82 mm ( < 0.001), and an angle deviation of 2.41 ± 1.24° vs. 10.13 ± 4.68° ( < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the accuracy with regard to the side factors between the navigation group and the free-hand group.
Conclusion: The dynamic navigation system has higher accuracy for pterygoid implant placement in a complete edentulous maxilla than the free-hand approach.

Objectives: To synthesize a temperature-responsive multimodal motion microrobot (MMMR) using temperature and magnetic field-assisted microfluidic droplet technology to achieve targeted drug delivery and controlled drug release.
Methods: Microfluidic droplet technology was utilized to synthesize the MMMR by mixing gelatin with magnetic microparticles. The microrobot possessed a magnetic anisotropy structure to allow its navigation and targeted drug release by controlling the temperature field and magnetic field.

Background: Remote services (in which the patient and staff member are not physically colocated) and digital services (in which a patient encounter is digitally mediated in some way) were introduced extensively when the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. We undertook a longitudinal qualitative study of the introduction, embedding, evolution and abandonment of remote and digital innovations in United Kingdom general practice. This synoptic paper summarises study design, methods, key findings, outputs and impacts to date.

In this paper, an event-triggered fuzzy control algorithm is proposed for the unmanned surface vessel (USV) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cooperative plant to achieve the high-precision landing mission. In the guidance module, an L virtual ship-L virtual aerial vehicle (LVS-LVA) guidance principle is developed to generate the reasonable reference signals for the USV-UAV plant under the landing mission. The proposed guidance principle incorporates a rolling kinematic compensation mechanism based on the 4-degree-of-freedom model of USV, specifically designed to counteract wave-induced rolling disturbances during UAV landing operations on unstable marine platforms.

In-cell NMR spectroscopy has recently emerged as a unique source of atomically resolved information on the structure, dynamics, and interactions of nucleic acids (NAs) within the intracellular space of living cells. Its recent applications have helped reveal fundamental differences in the behaviour of NAs in cells compared to the in vitro conditions commonly used for their study, as well as in physiologically distinct cellular states. This review covers the fundamental principles and practical aspects of acquiring in-cell NMR data in currently established eukaryotic cellular models, Xenopus laevis oocytes, and human cells.
