Background: Cancer seems to have an independent adverse prognostic effect on COVID-19-related mortality, but uncertainty exists regarding its effect across different patient subgroups. We report a population-based analysis of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 with prior or current solid cancer versus those without cancer.
Methods: We analysed data of adult patients registered until 24 May 2020 in the Belgian nationwide database of Sciensano.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess in a multi-modular manner the bone healing 1 year post root-end surgery (RES) with leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (LPRF) and Bio-Gide® (BG; Geistlich Pharma North America, Inc., Princeton, USA) as an occlusive membrane.
Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) of RES +/- LPRF and +/- BG was performed.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the adjunct of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (LPRF) to root-end surgery (RES) on the patients' quality of life during the first week post RES.
Materials And Methods: Patients in need of RES were recruited for an open randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) with a 2 × 2 factorial design. They were randomly allocated to the test (+LPRF) and control (-LPRF) group.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to present ultrasound imaging (UI) techniques as promising and safe tools for the follow-up of root-end surgery (RES) in vivo.
Methods: The study included 8 patients who underwent RES. All were followed up using UI at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months (if necessary) after RES.
