December 2024
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between subjective pain threshold (SPT), daily pain recovery (PR) during the first postoperative week, and patient/surgical characteristics, while evaluating changes in SPT across multiple surgeries. Additionally, it assessed how perceived quality of life correlates with SPT and PR in adolescents undergoing lower third molar germectomy.
Methods: A prospective clinical study was conducted at the Paediatric Surgery Unit, Sapienza University of Rome, involving 51 patients aged 10-16 years undergoing lower third molar germectomy.
Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder linked to significant health risks and economic costs, and machine learning (ML) may help predict its severity and understand its causes.
- This study involved adult patients suspected of OSA who underwent assessments and sleep monitoring, using various ML models to analyze their clinical data.
- Results showed different ML models had varying levels of accuracy in predicting OSA severity, with certain demographic and health factors, like body measurements and hypertension, being important predictors.

Objectives: Comprehensive care is fundamental to cancer survivors enduring long-term side-effects of cancer treatment including nutrition impact symptoms and critical weight loss (CWL). The aim of our study was to address weight loss (WL), nutritional aspects, and quality of life (QoL) in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study of HNC patients treated at the Sapienza University-Hospital, 2018-2022.
Objectives: To evaluate the 10-year clinical and radiographic outcomes of peri-implantitis intrabony defects treated with mineralized dehydrated bone allograft (MDBA) and resorbable membrane in patients undergoing a regular supportive peri-implant/periodontal therapy (STP).
Materials And Methods: The original study participants were 34 (34 defects). After mechanical debridement and chemical decontamination of implant surfaces, intrabony defects were filled with MDBA and covered by a resorbable membrane.
