Introduction: Bone remodeling around implants in implant-supported rehabilitation is a continuous debate with no consensus in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the implant- and patient-specific factors contributing to marginal bone loss near the implant.
Materials And Methods: We included patients who had implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation using one implant system, between 2014 and 2018, who had full follow-up documentation and orthopantomography over five years, and who had no unwell-controlled systemic pathologies that may influence bone metabolism.
Article Synopsis
- Rose petals contain beneficial phenolic compounds like anthocyanins, which are linked to health benefits due to their antioxidant properties.
- Eighteen rose cultivars were analyzed for their total polyphenol, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity, revealing significant variation among them, with the highest anthocyanin content identified using advanced chromatography techniques.
- The study found that anthocyanin levels were positively correlated with antioxidant activity, and specific cultivars demonstrated both cytotoxic effects on melanoma cells and enhanced proliferation of normal skin cells.
Article Synopsis
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, notable sex-related differences in cardiovascular complications were observed, particularly in left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) and right ventricular function (RVF) among patients recovering from the infection.
- A study involving 274 patients (127 men and 147 women) under 55 years old revealed that men were more likely to experience altered LVSF, while women had higher instances of impaired RVF and diastolic dysfunction (DD).
- The research indicated that these cardiovascular issues were linked to the severity of the initial COVID-19 infection and improved over time, significantly affecting the patients' overall functional status.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes how odontogenic infections are managed at Cluj-Napoca County Hospital over a 10-year period, focusing on factors like demographics, treatment methods, and changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- It found that while infections were declining before the pandemic, cases surged almost twofold during it, predominantly affecting young adults and often stemming from dental issues, particularly in the submandibular area.
- The research highlights the prevalence of negative antibiograms and identifies Streptococcus and Staphylococcus as key pathogens, emphasizing the importance of surgical drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics in treatment.
: The COVID-19 era has been a bleak period for both cancer and non-cancer patients, with delayed non-emergency treatments, such as for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). This study aimed to evaluate how the treatment of NMSC patients was influenced by the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in an Eastern European Maxillofacial Surgery center. : A total of 176 patients with a histopathological diagnosis of head and neck NMSC who were surgically treated in Cluj-Napoca Emergency County Hospital between 2016 and 2022 were included in this study, and divided into two samples, pre-pandemic (2016-2019) and COVID-19 (2020-2022) periods.
