Eccentric Occlusal Loads Remodel the Dentoalveolar and Temporomandibular Biomechanical Unit in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Eccentric occlusal loads remodel the dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joints in the masticatory biomechanical unit in rats. (A) Bite block as an occlusal rise (OR) on the rat maxillary first molar (green region) is shown. (B) 18F‐NaF Positron emission tomography localised regions of higher metabolic activity (higher uptake in the left condyle ...

Comparative Analysis of Three Vertebral Screw Placement Directions in Anterior Thoracolumbar Fracture Surgery: A Finite Element Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.
This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

Kinematic Alignment in TKA Using the Contralateral Healthy Knee as Reference: A Combined Finite Element and Clinical Analysis

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis, a novel natural kinematic alignment (NKA) using the contralateral healthy knee as reference was compared with mechanical alignment (MA) and kinematic alignment (KA) via finite element analysis and a clinical study. NKA provided more balanced stress in neutral/mild varus models.

Cooling Holes in Polymer Spur Gears: A Critical Analysis of Heat Dissipation Benefits and Mesh Stiffness Penalties

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 38, October 10, 2026.
Cooling holes provide a simple passive cooling strategy for polymer spur gears, reducing maximum operating temperature by up to 9.39% while introducing a measurable gear mesh stiffness penalty. A validated response‐surface model reveals how hole size and location govern this thermal–mechanical trade‐off, enabling design optimization for thermally and ...

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Laser Processing: A Hybrid Paradigm for Extreme Surface Enhancement

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional laser processing techniques offer many advantages, but they often encounter limitations such as heat‐affected zones, recast layers, residual tensile stresses, and poor surface finish. The integration of ultrasonic vibration (UV) presents a promising hybrid approach to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial effects like
