This article provides a comprehensive discussion of 3-piece inflatable penile implant surgery when performed through an infrapubic approach in patients presenting with challenging anatomy or corporal ...
Surface characteristics of implant reconstructions determine the gingival fibroblast (GF) response and thus soft tissue integration (STI). However, for monolithic implant reconstructions it is unknown...
After characterization of surface topography and wettability by scanning electron microscopy, interferometry and contact angle measurement, the adhesion, morphology, metabolic activity and proliferati...
Biomaterial type and surface treatment affected the GF response in a topography-dependent manner. Smooth polished and glazed surfaces demonstrated enhanced GF adhesion and earlier proliferation onset ...
Within the limits of the present investigation, polishing and glazing of machined HC, LS and 4/5Y-PSZ can be recommended to support STI-relevant cell functions in GF. Since the GF response on polished...
Maintenance of pregnancy is highly dependent on the maternal immune system. High levels of regulatory T cells (Tregs) accumulate in the maternal placenta to suppress immunoreactivity against fetal ant...
Bone conduction implants have been indicated for patients with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and even profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. With the introduction of Bonebridge...
Retrospective study of two cohorts of patients treated with active bone conduction implants at a single center, one with the Bonebridge® device and the other with Osia®....
Fourteen patients were included, seven in each group (n=14). The Bonebridge® group showed an average hearing gain in tonal intelligibility thresholds of 32.43±21.39 dB and a gain in the average intell...
While auditory improvement is observed post-implantation, other aspects, such as intelligibility thresholds and quality of life, lack statistical significance. Given the limited experience with Osia® ...
To compare the application of sequential embryo transfer, cleavage embryo transfer, and blastocyst transfer combined with intrauterine perfusion in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles in patients wit...
The 166 patients who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer due to recurrent implantation failure in the reproductive center from January 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According t...
The embryo implantation rate (53.1%), clinical pregnancy rate (76.9%), ongoing pregnancy rate (67.7%) and live birth rate(66.15%) in the sequential transfer group were significantly higher than those ...
Sequential transfer combined with intrauterine perfusion partially improves clinical pregnancy outcomes and reduces the risk of ectopic pregnancy in frozen embryo cycle transfers in patients with recu...
The current situation of diabetes prevention and control is extremely severe. For instance, glimepiride (GLM), a third-generation sulfonylurea, demonstrates suboptimal clinical efficacy in oral dosage...
We aimed to explore microvascular changes evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients undergoing epiretinal membrane (ERM) pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with intr...
Facial implantology (FI) is a growing field in facial surgery that focuses on harmonizing and balancing facial features. Despite its increasing popularity, larger-scale studies on FI outcomes and risk...
The ACS-NSQIP (2008-2021) was queried to identify patients who underwent combined/isolated alloplastic FI surgery of the malar/mandibular region. Based on CPT codes (21125; 21270), procedures were sub...
The study population included 84 patients, of which n = 19 (23%), n = 10 (12%), n = 33 (39%), and n = 22 (26%) underwent combined malar, isolated malar, combined mandibular, and isolated mandibular FI...
In this study, we accessed the ACS-NSQIP database and found alloplastic augmentation for zygoma and mandible to be safe. Patients who underwent combined procedures and mandibular augmentation were mor...
Dental implantology's success relies on adequate bone volume and quality, necessitating bone augmentation for implant placement. Primary lateral bone augmentation, utilizing autogenous block grafts, a...
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of autogenous block grafting, specifically ramus and fibula blocks, in addressing severe atrophic ridges before and after implant placement....
Twenty-one patients underwent block grafting, predominantly using the ramus technique (80/20 ratio). CBCT measurements assessed horizontal grafting outcomes. Implant success and bone volume changes we...
Post-grafting, bone width increased from 1.8-3.1 mm to 4.5-6 mm, exceeding critical thresholds. Implant success reached 95%, indicating the grafting techniques' effectiveness....
Autogenous block grafting, especially with ramus and fibula blocks, transforms severe atrophic ridges, enabling successful implant integration. Long-term follow-up is essential for a comprehensive eva...
This study provides crucial insights into autogenous block grafting's transformative impact on challenging cases, guiding future applications in reconstructive dentistry....
Successful implantation of embryos depends on the synchronous cross-talks between the endometrial wall and the competent blastocyst within the window of implantation (WOI). Hence, the WOI has a major ...
