Filter by:The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of particulate xenogeneic bone grafts associated with autogenous bone graft or Leukocyte-and-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Twenty-eight patients presenting edentulous regions and requiring horizontal bone augmentation prior to dental implant placement were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups according to the proposed guided bone regeneration (GBR) treatment. Fourteen surgical sites corresponding to Group A received bone regeneration with particulate autogenous bone tissue associated with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss Small®; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland). In Group B, fourteen surgical sites were regenerated with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss Small®) associated with L-PRF. In both groups, the grafted region was protected by a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Compressed; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) fixed to the buccal and palatal bone plates using titanium pins. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed preoperatively, immediately after the GBR surgical procedure, after 8 months of GBR healing, and immediately after dental implant placement to measure linear and volumetric changes in the alveolar ridge. At the time of dental implant placement, after an average period of 8 months following the guided bone regeneration procedures, bone biopsies were taken from the grafted area for histological, histomorphometric, and micro-CT analysis. After a period of 6 months, the dental implants were reopened to receive implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation. Implant stability was assessed using resonance frequency analysis at the time of implant placement in the grafted area and after an average of 6 months during the reopening surgical stage. Patient pain perception following bone regeneration procedures was assessed using a visual analog scale. All obtained data were statistically analyzed.
Major hepatectomy in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) and post-chemotherapy liver atrophy is associated with increased complications. Whether the performance of parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) in those patients can be safer is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical impact of post-chemotherapy liver atrophy on patients undergoing PSH for CLM. For this purpose, the occurrence of liver atrophy was recorded and then computed against the occurrence of postoperative morbidity and mortality.
To determine the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training on muscle strength, atrophy, and aerobic capacity in stroke patients.
evaluates the success of prosthetic rehabilitation of thin wiry ridge and implants placed simultaneously in splitted ridge both clinically and radiographically.
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate that treatment with the VITA AV clinical system is feasible and to evaluate clinical performance and safety when used to improve the symptoms and signs of vaginal atrophy (VA) due to menopause.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of different staged ridge-splitting techniques for management of severely resorbed lower jaws in the posterior region. The study is designed as a clinical trial, so that three different interventions would be compared for a conclusion highlighting the relative best of them.
This global, retrospective, non-interventional, medical chart review (MCR), descriptive study collected patient-level data in regions outside the US. The study required a repeated data collection at follow-up dates from start of treatment with nusinersen, onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi (OA), and/or risdiplam. At the start of data collection, the study team reached out to the health care providers (HCPs) involved in treating pediatric SMA patients for participating in this study. The physicians across the participating countries conducted a retrospective MCR of pediatric patients diagnosed with SMA who were treated with at least 1of the 3 novel disease-modifying treatments (DMTs): nusinersen, OA, and/or risdiplam. All health care encounters data i.e., emergency and inpatient admissions, surgery, and outpatient consultations of recruited patients, including their treatment with nusinersen, OA, and/or risdiplam, were abstracted to understand the treatment patterns as per routine clinical practice for SMA management globally. The first date of initial administration of 1 of the 3 target drugs was used as the "index date." Based on this, the record abstraction was performed through a retrospective MCR during the pre-index period, at index date and in the post-index period.
Sixteen patients were selected from the Outpatient Clinic of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University for replacement of missed single tooth / teeth in posterior atrophic mandible by dental implant. Patients' grouping: Patients were divided randomly into two equal uniform groups as follow: Group I: Eight implants were placed in patients of missing single tooth / teeth in posterior mandible with subsequent horizontal ridge augmentation by decompression technique. Group II: Eight implants were placed in patients of missing single tooth / teeth in posterior mandible with subsequent horizontal ridge augmentation by ridge splitting technique using piezosurgery. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically at regular time interval immediately, 6 and 12 months after surgery.
The goal of this observational study isto compare the effect hyaluronic acid and estradiol in vulvo-vaginal atrophy.Hyaluronic acid and Estrogen were equally effective in vaginal treatment. Hyaluronic acid may be preferred for patients in whom hormonal therapy is contraindicated or who wish to receive non-hormonal therapy.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are common for women. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was applied for wound healing, but there was no study regarding treatment effect of GSM and SUI. This retrospective study aims to assess the efficacy of LLLT in alleviating GSM and SUI.
