Mini-Implant Insertion Using a Guide Manufactured with Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing in an Adolescent Patient Suffering from Tooth Eruption Disturbance.

Due to dental diseases, anatomical restrictions, and mixed dentition, the reduction in the number of teeth and the displacement of tooth germs pose challenges in orthodontic treatment, limiting anchorage options. The presented case demonstrates an advanced treatment solution using digital CAD/CAM-technologies and medical imaging for the creation of a mini-implant template. A 12-year-old male patient experiencing delayed tooth eruption, multiple impacted germs, and maxillary constriction underwent intraoral scanning and CBCT.

Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) in Patients with Ovarian Cancer: What Is Different Compared to Healthy Women?

Introduction: The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in patients with ovarian cancer using a patient-reported outcome (PRO) based questionnaire and to compare it to the healthy female population in Germany and to other ovarian cancer patients worldwide. Additionally, we looked for differences in the HR-QoL with respect to the patients' ages in our cohort.

Methods: The HR-QoL for 155 enrolled patients with ovarian cancer was assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) prior to surgery and then compared with 501 healthy females in Germany, as well as to the previously published European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) reference data for 917 patients with ovarian cancer worldwide.

Role of predictive markers for severe postoperative complications in gynecological cancer surgery: a prospective study (RISC-Gyn Trial).

Background: Surgery for gynecological cancer involves highly invasive and complex procedures potentially associated with various complications, which can cause extended hospital stays and delay of subsequent therapy, with a detrimental effect on the prognosis. The aim of this study was to explore and define the predictors of severe postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer.

Methods: Patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancers were analyzed prospectively from October 2015 through January 2017.

Preoperative quality of life as prediction for severe postoperative complications in gynecological cancer surgery: results of a prospective study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate preoperative quality of life (QoL) as a predictive tool for severe postoperative complications (POC) in gynecological cancer surgery.

Methods: This is a prospective study of patients undergoing gynecologic cancer surgery at an academic center in Germany. QoL was assessed by the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the NCCN Distress Thermometer (DT).

Can Fried Frailty Score predict postoperative morbidity and mortality in gynecologic cancer surgery? Results of a prospective study.

Background: Aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive ability of Fried Frailty Score for surgical outcomes in patients undergoing gynecologic cancer surgery.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study at an academic gynecological cancer center from Oct 2015 through Jan 2017. We applied systematically numerous screening tools, geriatric questionnaires and single measurements which may provide predictions for surgical outcomes.
