Maintaining the general health and well-being of patients is the main goal of dental therapy. However, tooth extraction is indicated when teeth cannot be maintained in a status compatible with health, adequate esthetics, function, and/or for strategic reasons. A variable degree of alveolar ridge atrophy related to bone resorption is initiated immediately after removal of a tooth due to the local physiologic remodeling and the inflammatory response. Ridge resorption is more accentuated in the horizontal dimension, followed by the vertical mid-facial and vertical mid-lingual in non-molar and molar teeth. Among local periodontal phenotypic characteristics, facial bone thickness at the time of tooth extraction seems to be strongly associated with the extent of alveolar bone resorption. Dental implants have increased in popularity due to their unique ability to replace teeth. During the planning phase of implant therapy, one of the main parameters assessed is the amount of residual alveolar ridge. Therefore, when tooth replacement therapy via dental implant is considered, adequate management of the site is critical to predictably preserve or reconstruct the architecture of the alveolar ridge, particularly in the anterior aesthetic zone, where its structure play a crucial role in the maintenance of function, health and esthetics. Generally, with appropriate treatment planning and execution, the adequate primary mechanical stability of the dental implant is achieved. However, bone and/or soft tissue augmentation procedures could be needed for the adequate management of deficient edentulous ridges at the time of implant placement, and these types of treatments could considerably increase the risk of morbidity, treatment expenses, and length of treatment time. Nevertheless, Implant placement with additional bone contour augmentation therapies have shown their effectiveness in the short-, mid- and long-term in contemporary dental practice. However, to the present date, there is no information available in the literature regarding patient-reported outcome measures in patients that received tooth replacement therapy via dental implants with additional contour bone augmentation in the short-, mid- and long-term.
As a result of the literature review, it has been seen that it has not yet been clarified whether cold application methods are effective on postoperative nausea and vomiting, and academic studies on this subject are needed. The aim of the planned study was to conduct a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of the cold application method on nausea and vomiting and the need for antiemetic drugs in the early postoperative period. The research hypotheses are as follows: H1:Cold application method reduces nausea and vomiting in the early postoperative period. H1:The cold application method reduces the need for antiemetic drugs in the early postoperative period. H1:Cold application method in the early postoperative period increases patient satisfaction. Condition or disease: Postoperative nausea and vomiting,Postoperative antiemetic use status,Patient satisfaction,Effects of cold application method Intervention/treatment: There is an intervention group in which the cold application method is applied.
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of spine physicians reviewing post-procedural fluoroscopic images with patients. The outcome measure to be assessed will be the potential impact the patient satisfaction and the patient's global impression of change (PGIC) 2 weeks after the spine procedure.
Painless endoscopy is a popular endoscopic diagnosis and treatment method at present, and propofol combined with fentanyl general intravenous anesthesia has been widely used in painless endoscopic diagnosis and treatment.However, the combined application of the two has an obvious respiratory center inhibition effect, leading to the decrease of blood oxygen saturation in patients, especially obese patients, more prone to blood oxygen plunge, even threatening life.Due to the potential risk of upper airway obstruction in some obese patients, intraoperative hypoventilation may occur during painless colonoscopy due to the influence of sedative and analgesic drugs, thus causing hypoxia in patients. In addition, the anatomical and pathological changes of obese patients themselves make hypoxia tolerance poor and airway establishment difficult, which may endanger the safety of patients.Currently, supracloglottic ventilation devices that have little impact on patients and are easy to accept are often used clinically to complete short daytime operations. The most common is the application of oropharyngeal ventilation to solve upper airway obstruction , however, oropharyngeal ventilation is inconvenient to use in gastroenteroscopy and treatment, while nasopharyngeal ventilation is suitable. However, based on the experience of observers,Although the nasopharyngeal airway can play a good role in the unobtrusived airway, the incidence of nasopharyngeal hemorrhage is high, and the comfort of patients is poor. Therefore, the researchers considered to directly insert the nasopharyngeal airway into the pharyngeal cavity next to the oral pad through the mouth, so as to achieve the effect of unobtrusived airway and increase the local oxygen concentration, and the idea of this experiment came from this.
Nurses aim to care for people who can no longer carry out their life activities and needs, and to ensure that they can continue to live their lives as well as possible. The aim is to improve the quality of life by making life more comfortable through care. Comfort in care means solving the patient's problems, being peaceful and content, and relieving pain/suffering. Kolcaba explained that comfort theory can be used as a guide to meet the comfort needs of individuals in the care process. The theory explains the concept of comfort as relaxation, refreshment and the ability to overcome problems (superiority). According to this theory, the nurse identifies the comfort needs of the patient and family and plans and implements interventions to meet these needs. There are no studies in the literature that have investigated the effect of nursing care based on Kolcaba's comfort theory on the comfort, satisfaction and sleep quality of ICU patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nursing care based on Kolcaba's Comfort Theory on the comfort, satisfaction and sleep quality of ICU patients.
Interventional radiology is developing. Patient information modalities are also evolving, in particular information videos. The aim of this work is therefore the evaluation of patient information in interventional radiology
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) can reliably restore active forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation, which are often lost in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. However, functional internal rotation (i.e., functional movements of the hand behind the body) is often unsatisfactorily restored and/or lost after RTSA. This study aims to compare the standard surgical approach for RTSA to RTSA with conjoint tendon resection with the targeted metric being postoperative functional internal rotation.
This study aims to investigate pain management and satisfaction following orthognathic surgery, which is a type of surgery that corrects jaw and facial bone issues. This type of surgery can result in significant post-operative pain for participants, and the goal of this study is to find a way to manage this pain in a more effective and safe manner. The study will focus on the use of opioid pain medication and will compare two groups: one group will receive a standardized prescription plan. In contrast, the other group will receive a personalized prescription with a plan to taper the opioid medication. In the end, any unused opioid will be compared at the end of the 7-day post-discharge period between the two groups. This is important because excessive opioid prescription can either be diverted to the community or can be misused leading to opioid use disorders. Data will be collected from pre-surgery appointments, during the surgery and hospital stay, and follow-up appointments. The data collected will include participants' demographics, medical history, type of surgery, and information about the pain medication used. The study hypothesizes that the personalized prescription plan will result in less unused medication and higher satisfaction with pain management compared to the standardized prescription plan. The study will also stratify the participants into single-jaw surgery and double-jaw surgery groups to evaluate if any differences in the outcomes are observed. This study will help to provide guidance for future pain management practices for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. Furthermore, this study will also benefit society by providing insights into addressing the opioid crisis that is currently affecting many communities across North America.
A pilot non-randomized controlled study examined whether the use of VR technology can serve as an appropriate substitute for sedation in a colonoscopy examination.
