Implant therapy in older patients: Prosthetic considerations and biomechanical implications for frailty/aging

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Population aging is reshaping prosthodontic care for both partially and completely edentulous individuals. In older adults, conditions such as frailty, comorbidities, polypharmacy, and cognitive decline can have a direct impact on the biological and biomechanical demands of implant therapy, thereby influencing the success of implant

Integral bridge abutment and backfill behaviour

Integral bridges do not contain the bearings or expansion joints found in conventional bridges. Interaction between the abutments and backfill due to thermal movements of the bridge deck leads to the accumulation of soil strain — known as strain ratcheting — which results in increased lateral earth pressures along with settlement at the bridge approach.

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2653-2668, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

Geo-structural Analysis of Integral Abutment Bridges [PDF]

, 2020
Integral abutment bridges are jointless bridges where bridge decks and girders are integrated with abutments. The longitudinal displacements and rotations of the bridge are partially accommodated by the soil-pile system wherein the soil surrounding the piles generates active and reactive lateral forces when the piles deflect due to the movement of the ...

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 13, Page 5068-5091, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

Systematic Review Evaluating the Influence of Veneering Design on the Clinical Outcome of All‐Ceramic Implant‐Supported 3–4 Units and Full Arch Fixed Dental Prostheses

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page 1691-1707, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To systematically assess survival, failure, and complication rates of all‐ceramic implant‐supported monolithic and micro‐veneered FDPs (i‐FDPs) in partially/completely edentulous patients compared to veneered restorations. Materials and Methods An electronic search identified prospective clinical studies on all‐ceramic i‐FDPs with at

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1937-1969, August 2026.
The veiled chameleon is a model organism in reptile development research. Utilizing contrast‐enhanced microCT and deep learning segmentation models, we have generated the first digital atlases of the skull, nervous system, cranial muscles and hyolingual muscles.

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1995-2048, August 2026.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Flume experiments on macro‐roughness elements: Hydraulic response and potential influences on flood risk and habitat diversity

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Physical modelling of macro‐roughness elements for river restoration showed that backwater rise depends mostly on the relative structure width and approaching flow Froude number, with only minor differences among designs. Internal geometry modulated turbulent kinetic energy and flow partition between gap and wake.
