Clinical problems of computer-guided implant surgery.

Background: The utilization of a cone-beam computed tomography (CT)-assisted surgical template allows for predictable results because implant placement plans can be performed in the actual surgery. In order to assess the accuracy of the CT-guided surgery, angular errors and shoulder/apex distance errors were evaluated by data fusion from before and after the placement.

Methods: Computer-guided implant surgery was performed in five patients with 19 implants.

Topical application of a cleanser containing extracts of folium, and var. reduces skin oil content and pore size in human skin.

The effects of skin pores on skin topographic features can be reduced by decreasing excessive production and accumulation of sebum and elimination of comedones. Therefore, a cosmetic cleanser that regulates sebum homeostasis is required. In the present study, the effects of a cosmetic cleanser that contained folium, and var.

Autoamputation of a giant colonic lipoma.

Most colonic lipomas are asymptomatic and need no treatment, whereas lesions larger than 2 cm can cause acute abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, gastrointestinal bleeding, intussusception or bowel obstruction. Autoamputation of polypoid lesions in the gastrointestinal tract is indeed a rare phenomenon, and its precise mechanism remains unknown. It presumably occurs due to ischemic necrosis of the polyp by peristalsis-induced torsion or tension.

[A case of large retroperitoneal lipoma mimicking liposarcoma].

Lipomas are the most common benign tumors of adipose tissue among adults. Lipomas can occur almost anywhere in the trunk, extremities, mediastinum, and pelvis, but retroperitoneal lipomas are extremely rare. It should be distinguished from well differentiated liposarcoma in order to provide the appropriate treatment and follow up.
