Article Synopsis
- The development of a multiplex lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) allows for the simultaneous detection of five respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza, improving diagnostic accuracy amid viral mutations.
- This platform utilizes oligonucleotide and antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for high sensitivity and specificity in identifying these viruses.
- Rigorous testing shows no false positives, making this LFA a reliable tool for rapid diagnosis, especially useful during pandemics.
Long-term clinical study of fixed prosthetic rehabilitation using one-piece narrow-diameter implants: a retrospective study.
J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of one-piece narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) and identify factors influencing marginal bone loss (MBL) around them.
- The analysis involved 25 patients and 40 NDIs over an average of 10.5 years, with a high survival rate of 95.1% for implants and a mean MBL of 0.44 mm, primarily linked to the use of guided bone regeneration (GBR).
- The findings suggest that NDIs perform well clinically over time, showing acceptable MBL, but further research with larger samples is recommended to confirm these results.
Butterfly Cartilage Inlay Technique for Repairing Medium-to-Large-Sized Tympanic Membrane Perforations.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Objective: The butterfly cartilage inlay technique was originally developed for repairing small tympanic membrane (TM) perforations but is now increasingly used for repairing large TM perforations. Although studies have evaluated the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium-to-large-sized TM perforations, no study has compared its effectiveness with that of the conventional underlay cartilage technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium-to-large-sized TM perforations compared with that of the conventional underlay cartilage.

However, in the case of left main (LM) culprit lesion AMI with multivessel disease, there is limited evidence to suggest that complete revascularization is better.
Methods: We reviewed 16,831 patients in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry who were treated from July 2016 to June 2020, and 399 patients were enrolled with LM culprit lesion AMI treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
Background: Evaluation of regional left ventricle function using two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in patients with ischemic heart disease has limitations due to its low objectivity and qualitative nature. In addition, 2DE is limited because multiple acoustic windows are used to obtain the image, whereas three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) uses a single window. This study aims to demonstrate the clinical utility of 3DE segmental volume analysis for evaluating regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA).
