Enhancing hospice care with psychological support and a nomogram to predict delirium in patients with advanced solid tumors.

To assesses the impact of integrating hospice care with psychological interventions on patient well-being and to introduce a predictive nomogram model for delirium that incorporates clinical and psychosocial variables, thereby improving the accuracy in hospice care environments. Data from 381 patients treated from September 2018 to February 2023 were analyzed. The patients were divided into a control group (n=177, receiving standard care) and an experimental group (n=204, receiving combined hospice care and psychological interventions) according to the treatment modality.

Use of artificial intelligence to recover mandibular morphology after disease.

Mandibular tumors and radical oral cancer surgery often cause bone dysmorphia and defects. Most patients present with noticeable mandibular deformations, and doctors often have difficulty determining their exact mandibular morphology. In this study, a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) called CTGAN is proposed to complete 3D mandibular cone beam computed tomography data from CT data.

Use of three points to determine the accuracy of guided implantation.

Aim: 'This study aims to establish an open-source algorithm using Python to analyze the accuracy of guided implantation, which simplifies interstudy comparisons.

Methods: Given ≥3 landmark pairs, this Tri-Point (TriP) method can register images. With ≥4 landmark pairs, TriP can calculate system errors for image registration.

In Vitro Experimental Study of the Effect of Adjusting the Guide Sleeve Height and Using a Visual Direction-Indicating Guide on Implantation Accuracy.

Purpose: We used a single-variable method to analyze the influence of the guide sleeve height of a conventional template on implantation accuracy in vitro and improve the function of short-sleeve templates by adding a visual direction-indicating guide (VDING).

Materials And Methods: We created 100 copies of a volunteer's dentition plaster model. The normal template (NT) and the VDING template (VT) were made with guide sleeves 2, 5, 8, and 10 mm in height.
