Protective factors and critical mucosal thickness for the stability of the peri‐implant soft tissue margin over 5 years: A longitudinal cohort study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peri‐implant soft tissue dehiscence deficiencies (PSTDs) are common esthetic complications in the anterior maxilla, yet the parameters that protect the peri‐implant soft tissue margin (STM) over time remain unclear. Previous studies have identified several risk indicators, but longitudinal thresholds capable of predicting stable STM

Use of ultrasonography in assessing peri‐implant osseous defects: An in vitro study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in peri‐implant defect identification and evaluation, and to compare ultrasonography (USG) with cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) in defect identification and evaluation in an in vitro model.

Study of the Dynamic Soil-Abutment-Superstructure Interaction for a Bridge Abutment

, 2017
The abutment is the part of a bridge that has a more significant dynamic interaction with the soil; the behaviour of the abutment is also influenced by the interaction with the superstructure, producing a reciprocal time-dependent exchange of inertial forces between them.

The Hidden Hazards of Vaping

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A 31 year old male presented with a penetrating oropharyngeal injury following a motor vehicle collision and was found to have a retained metallic foreign body suspected to be part of a vape pen. The foreign body was abutting the carotid artery and was removed via a combined transoral and transcervical approach.

Patient Experience of Undergoing MRI With a New Active Transcutaneous Bone‐Anchored Hearing Implant

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Active transcutaneous bone‐anchored hearing implants belong to a class of devices that may pose challenges in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) settings. In this prospective study, all MRI scans in patients (n = 15) with the Sentio Ti implant were completed without complications, and patients reported generally positive experiences with low levels of ...

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Bond, tension‐stiffening, and cracking in multi‐generational recycled aggregate concrete subjected to shrinkage strains

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The concrete industry is responsible for a significant portion of global waste production and multi‐generation recycled aggregate concrete (MGRAC) is a means to allow the sector to transition to a circular economy framework. To predict the behavior of MGRAC at the member level there is a need to understand the underlying mechanics of bond ...
