Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was the only symptom relieving and life-prolonging treatment until transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) became available. This option was introduced to treat old and high-risk patients. In a series o...

Frontal plane ankle motion is important for balance in walking but is seldom controlled in robotic prostheses. This article describes the design, control and performance of a semi-active two-degree-of-freedom robotic prosthetic ankle. The mechanism u...

Prosthetic socket manufacturing is experiencing a revolutionary shift towards using digital methods, such as 3D scanning and 3D printing. However, using digital methods requires the clinician to transfer their skills from making sockets by hand to ma...

If you want to buy a new car today, you can expect a flood of digital features and assistance systems that initially make the analog human heart beat faster [...]

Mechanical and thermal trauma during implant surgery may be reasons for initial peri-implant bone loss. Temperature development during drilling and implant insertion were quantified in this series of in vitro and animal experiments. Polyurethane foam...

Purpose: In incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), there is a partial decrease in motor or sensory or autonomic function. Mainly due to the motor impairment in SCI, a muscle–machine interface is a tool that can bring functional benefits to this p...

Background: The use of magnification appears to offer advantages in dental preparation for fixed prosthetics and is widely employed in clinical practice, although it has not yet been thoroughly documented. Therefore, the primary objective is to deter...

To evaluate the flexural strength and flexural modulus of three recently introduced 3D-Printed resins and compare them with the flexural properties of other well known, already commercialized, and extensively used resin based dental materials. Three...

Background: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digitally crafted customized healing abutments in stabilizing peri-implant soft tissues following tooth extraction and assess the preservation of peri-implant soft tissue architectur...

The surgical management of adult spinal deformities (ASDs) involves a wide variety of complex and technically challenging operative techniques. Despite numerous publications examining the relationship between surgeon experience and outcomes in ASD, n...
