Residual Site Radiotherapy After Immunochemotherapy in Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma: A Monoinstitutional Retrospective Study.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of residual site radiation therapy (RSRT) on local control (LC), progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival in patients with primary mediastinal lymphoma (PMBCL), following rituximab and chemotherapy treatment (ICHT).

Patients And Methods: The study included 34 patients with PMBCL treated between 2006 and 2014 with ICHT with/without autologous stem cell transplantation and RSRT. Between the end of ICHT/stem cell transplantation and RSRT, patients were evaluated with F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography.

Antibiotic prophylaxis at dental implant placement: Which is the best protocol? A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Aim: This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aims to answer to the following question: "In patients undergoing dental implant placement, which is the best antibiotic prophylaxis protocol to prevent early failures?"

Materials And Methods: The MEDLINE, SCOPUS, CENTRAL and Web of Knowledge electronic databases were searched in duplicate for RCTs up to July 2017. Additional relevant literature was identified through (i) handsearching on both relevant journals and reference lists, and (ii) searching in databases for grey literature. A network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted, and the probability that each protocol is the "Best" was estimated.

Impact of Second Stage Surgery on Bone Remodeling Around New Hybrid Titanium Implants: A Prospective Clinical Study in Humans.

Objective: The present prospective study aimed to more precisely identify the time points of bone changes around hybrid titanium implants up to 30 months of follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Twelve hybrid T3 implants (Biomet 3i) were placed in 9 healthy patients with the 2-stage surgical approach. Standardized digital Rx were taken at implant insertion (T0); healing-abutment connection after 3.

Morphological Aspect and iNOS and Bax Expression Modification in Bone Tissue Around Dental Implants Positioned Using Piezoelectric Bone Surgery Versus Conventional Drill Technique.

Background: The aim of this work is to evaluate differences occurring in bone tissue around dental implants positioned using piezoelectric or conventional drill technique.

Methods: Twenty-four implants were inserted bilaterally in the iliac crest of 6 sheep after site preparation through a piezoelectric instrument (Test) or after site preparation through conventional drill technique with rotary instruments (Control). Animals were randomly divided to be euthanized at 15 and 30 days post-intervention (p.

An unusual case of spleen metastasis from carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland.

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare tumor arising from the salivary glands that spreads through direct extension, through the lymphatic vessels, and, rarely, hematogenously. When distant metastases have been found, they have been reported mainly in the lung. We present an unusual case of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland with splenic metastases.
