Abstract
A number of existing risk assessment tools make reference to, or incorporate, a Multiple Barrier Approach to drinking water safety. Three waterborne disease outbreaks that occurred in developed nations were used as case studies to test a selected set of risk assessment tools. The outbreaks were used...

Abstract
We identified difficulties that occurred during the treatment and assessed whether they were specifically due to the implant or independent of it. Paley's classification for evaluating problems, obstacles and complications with external fixators was adopted, and implant-specific difficulties were co...

Abstract
Although new polycarbonate helmet faceshields can withstand impacts exceeding forces of 2,400 N, repeated impacts and ultraviolet radiation degrade the structural integrity. In this study, the impact resistances of unused, solar-radiated, and of game-used faceshields were analyzed. A...

Abstract
A self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) has emerged as an effective palliative treatment for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction resulting from gastric or periampullary malignancy. Despite the stent's effectiveness, tumor ingrowth and stent migration remain complications requiring reintervention. The p...

Abstract
3D cleaning, shaping and obturation of root canals has always been the desired goal of endodontic treatment which in many cases is difficult to attain. The introduction of NiTi rotary files made a major change in endodontic practice, making treatment easier, safer and faster. Nevertheless, after 16 y...

Abstract
We observed evidence of PCU spacer contact with pedicle screws, cords, and surrounding bony structures (74/75, 69/75, and 51/75 spacers, respectively). Relatively infrequent damage modes included PCU fracture (1/75 spacers) or cracking (2/75 spacers), as well as pedicle screw fracture (3/103 screws)...

Abstract
The fatigue failure of thermoplastic ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) was observed in clinics. However, there was no standard evaluation for the AFOs to enhance the understanding of how AFOs become more readily acceptable to patients. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an ankle-foot simulator (AFS) as...
