This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Structure and Propagation of Mesoscale Cyclonic Eddies in the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence
Between 1993 and 2022, 1386 cyclonic eddies were identified in the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence, one of the most energetic regions of the South Atlantic. While most eddies dissipated locally, a smaller number of individuals, more energetic, and longer lived propagated predominantly south‐westward and north‐eastward, driven by topographic constraints and ...

Superior Labial Artery Flap for Septal Perforation Repair: The Boxer's Flap
The nasal floor flap, or Boxer's flap, is an anteriorly pedicled, superior labial artery–based mucosal flap that provides excellent closure rates in septal perforation repair when traditional septal flaps are not feasible. The schematic shows: (A) preoperative perforation, (B) nasal floor flap elevation (with the pedicle maintained at the inferior ...
