The reconstruction of maxillofacial bone defects by the intraoperative modeling of implants may reduce the predictability of the esthetic result, leading to more invasive surgery and increased surgical time. To improve the maxillofacial surgery outcome, modern manufacturing methods such as rapid prototyping (RP) technology and methods based on reverse engineering (RE) and medical imaging data a...

This research project investigated the orthotic prescription habits of podiatric physicians in Australia and New Zealand. A 23-item questionnaire was distributed to all members of the Australian Podiatry Association and the New Zealand Society of Podiatrists. When asked what type of foot orthoses they prescribe most often, 72% of respondents reported functional foot orthoses; the next most comm...

Prefabricated concrete (PC) buildings are a relatively new type of housing construction. It is not only necessary to ensure the quality PC components, but also guarantee key technical nodes Based on specific engineering project cases, this article proposes solutions and methods for prefabricated construction, proves their feasibility effectiveness through practical applications. illustrates an ...

METHODS: The results of LNT for LEL were compared between the conventional single LNT group (control group; n = 21 limbs), the multiple LNFs group (n = 13), and the prefabricated lympho-venous shunt group (n = 13) in terms of volume improvement (the LEL index), lymphoscintigraphy findings, and the rate of functional survival and lymph node sizes (evaluated using ultrasonography) at 6 months aft...
