The Green Surgical Block 4.0: Automation of the operating theatre's climate conditions through a real-time patient-flow solution.

The energy consumed by surgery units constitutes a staggering part of the overall healthcare carbon footprint. Partly due to the demanding climate conditions necessitated by operating theatres (OTs), energy is also wasted because of poorly managed heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVACs) that consume up to 57% of the total energy used in a hospital. With their goal of optimising OTs' performance and reducing patient waiting lists, heads of surgery units worldwide do not dare to risk cancelling scheduled surgery because of problems with the OT environment conditions (ie temperature, humidity, pressure).

Multicentre Prospective Study Analysing Relevant Factors Related to Marginal Bone Loss: A Two-Year Evolution.

Introduction: The aim of this prospective descriptive study was to analyse the possible variables associated with marginal bone loss in rehabilitated implants (Proclinic S.A.U, Zaragoza, Spain) two years after their prosthetic loading.

Surgical block 4.0: a digital intervention based on a real-time location patient-flow solution to support the automation of surgical pathways.

As internet of things (IoT) technologies are increasingly adopted by healthcare and hospitals, new opportunities are emerging to transform patient pathways and achieve efficient delivery of care. This implemented project follows the drivers and requirements of industry 4.0, based on surgical process analysis and optimisation using IoT technology, with the goal of creating '4.

Introduction to the cognitive hospital.

The third industrial revolution has radically impacted the transformation of hospitals. Through the adoption of key digital technologies, hospitals have become more accessible, flexible, organised, responsive and able to deliver more personalised care. The digitalisation of patient health records, one of the most remarkable achievements to date in healthcare management, has enabled new opportunities, including the idea of hospitals evolving to become artificially intelligent.

Oral leukoplakia treatment with the carbon dioxide laser: A systematic review of the literature.

We conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate treatment of oral leukoplakia with the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. A comprehensive search of studies published between 1981 and 2015 and listed in the PubMed (National Library of Medicine, NCBI) database yielded 378 articles which were screened in detail. Relevant studies were selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.

The treatment of oral leukoplakia with the CO2 laser: A retrospective study of 65 patients.

The use of CO2 laser has become a routine procedure for the treatment of oral leukoplakia. In this retrospective study, we evaluated 65 patients with oral leukoplakia treated with CO2 laser vaporization. The main location was the tongue (n = 21/65, 32.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma: A rare case report and review of literature.

Objectives: Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma is a rare condition characterized by ameloblastic-like islands of epithelial cells with aberrant keratinitation in the form of Ghost cell with varying amounts of dysplastic dentina.

Material And Methods: We report a case of a 70 year-old woman with a rapid onset of painful swelling right maxillary tumor. Magnetic resonance showed a huge tumor dependent on the right half of the right hard palate with invasion of the pterygoid process and focally to the second branch of the trigeminal.

Effect of intra-alveolar placement of 0.2% chlorhexidine bioadhesive gel on the incidence of alveolar osteitis following the extraction of mandibular third molars. A double-blind randomized clinical trial.

Unlabelled: Alveolar osteitis (AO) is a common complication after third molar surgery. One of the most studied agents in its prevention is chlorhexidine (CHX), which has proved to be effective.

Objectives: The aim of this randomized double-blind clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.
