Definitive Closure of the Tracheoesophageal Puncture Site after Oncologic Laryngectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesArchives of Plastic Surgery, 2022
Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) and voice prosthesis insertion following laryngectomy may fail to form an adequate seal. When spontaneous closure of the fistula tract does not occur after conservative measures, surgical closure is required.

Powered Prosthesis Locomotion on Varying Terrains: Model-Dependent Control with Real-Time Force Sensing [PDF]

open access: yesRA-L 7(2):5151-5158, 2022, 2021
Lower-limb prosthesis wearers are more prone to falling than non-amputees. Powered prostheses can reduce this instability of passive prostheses. While shown to be more stable in practice, powered prostheses generally use model-independent control methods that lack formal guarantees of stability and rely on heuristic tuning.

Occlusal Scheme Effect on the Biomechanical Response of Full-Arch Dental Prosthesis Supported by Titanium Implants: A Systematic Review

open access: yesMetals, 2021
Dental implant-supported prosthesis are widely used in oral reconstruction of totally edentulous patients. Nonetheless, one of the most common failures in these cases is caused by overloading from improper occlusion. The aim of this work was to determine
