Comparative Accuracy of Stationary and Smartphone-Based Photogrammetry in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: A Clinical Study.

Three-dimensional facial scan technologies, such as stereophotogrammetry, are frequently used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, and plastic surgery to assess patient outcomes and plan surgical procedures. Most facial scanners rely on stationary clinical systems, which provide high accuracy and reliability in generating 3D representations of the human face; however, they are cost-intensive and immobile. Recently, smartphone-based facial scan applications that use stereophotogrammetry have been developed.

The prognostic significance of surgical resection margins for local recurrence, distant metastasis, and overall survival in sarcoma.

Background And Objectives: Surgical resection with microscopically negative margins constitutes one of the key elements of a curative therapeutic approach for localized sarcomas. However, the prognostic value of quantitative margin width remains controversial. We sought to determine the prognostic significance of margin status and margin width for local recurrence (LR), distant recurrence (DR), and overall survival.

Combining higher-load and lower-load resistance training exercises: A systematic review and meta-analysis of findings from complex training studies.

Objectives: The aim of the present meta-analytical review was to determine the effectiveness of training programmes combining higher-load and lower-load exercises in one workout (i.e. complex training [CT]) on lower-body performance.
