Aim: To systematically appraise the available evidence on vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) techniques and estimate a treatment-based ranking on the incidence of complications as well as their clinical effectiveness.
Materials And Methods: Searches were conducted in six databases to identify randomized clinical trials comparing VRA techniques up to November 2022. The incidence of complications (primary) and of early, major, surgical and intra-operative complications, vertical bone gain (VBG), marginal bone loss, need for additional grafting, implant success/survival, and patient-reported outcome measures (secondary) were chosen as outcomes.
Objective: To investigate physicians' perceptions and current practices of identifying and managing depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Design: A cross-sectional online survey was employed between March and September 2022.
Settings: Saudi Arabia.
Background: Lung cancer is a fatal disease that kills approximately 85% of those diagnosed with it. In recent years, advances in medical imaging have greatly improved the acquisition, storage, and visualization of various pathologies, making it a necessary component in medicine today.
Objective: Develop a computer-aided diagnostic system to detect lung cancer early by segmenting tumor and non-tumor tissue on Tissue Micro Array Analysis (TMA) histopathological images.
Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition characterized by dyspnea and hypoxia worsening in the upright position and relieved in the recumbent position. POS can result from anatomical or functional conditions that cause interatrial communication or deformity of the atrial septum. Investigations with imaging and cardiac catheterization can aid in the evaluation.

- IgA vasculitis is a systemic disease that mainly affects small blood vessels and often presents in children, impacting the skin, muscles, gastrointestinal system, and kidneys.* -
- Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition that can be effectively treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) inhibitors, which are also used for various autoimmune disorders.* -
- The case described involves IgA vasculitis arising during adalimumab treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa, along with a review of similar instances in existing literature, highlighting potential mild adverse effects of TNFα therapy.*
Objective: This article is a systematic review of the impact of technology-based intervention on outcomes related to care providers for those who survived a stroke.
Materials And Methods: Literature was identified in the PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Cochrane databases for evidence on technology-based interventions for stroke survivors' caregivers. The search was restricted for all English-language articles from 1970 to February 2015 that implied technology-based interventions.
