Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate vascular and neurosensory complications in edentulous patients following the installation of mandibular midline single implants in relation to lingual canals.
Materials And Methods: After performing a cone beam computed tomography scan for the 50 recruited patients, the relationship between the potential implant site and the lingual canals was assessed, and all vascular and neurosensory complications were recorded.
Results: Six patients (12%) reported profuse bleeding during implant placement, and 13 (26%) reported transient neurosensory changes, which were resolved after 3 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the need for better markers to diagnose and predict COVID-19 progression, as current methods are not very effective.
- The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is identified as a promising biomarker that can indicate the severity of COVID-19, with higher levels found in advanced stages of the disease.
- The research, which analyzed data from over 8,000 individuals, shows that NLR can improve patient management and resource allocation in critical cases of COVID-19, potentially decreasing mortality rates.
Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest in the Pediatric Population Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Electroencephalography Monitoring: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth
October 2021
Article Synopsis
- Prolonged deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) during cardiac surgery in children can pose risks to brain health, as suggested by increased seizure rates and neurological issues.
- A systematic review of 19 studies involving 1,267 pediatric patients found clinical seizure rates at 12.9% and EEG seizure rates at 14.9%, with a mortality rate of 6.3%.
- The findings indicate that longer DHCA durations correlate with a higher likelihood of EEG seizures and neurological abnormalities, which may contribute to neurodevelopmental delays.
Cost-Effectiveness of CM-LOC Attachment versus Ball Attachment Retaining Single Implant Mandibular Overdentures.
Open Access Maced J Med Sci
November 2019
Aim: To investigate the cost-effectiveness of the novel CM-LOC attachment compared to the gold standard ball attachment in single implant mandibular overdenture.
Material And Methods: Fifty-two completely edentulous patients (50 to 69 years old) seeking to improve the retention of their complete mandibular dentures by installing a single implant in the midline of the mandible were recruited for this study. The patients were equally divided into two groups.
