Article Synopsis
- * Analyzed data from 102 patients revealed that Perugini scores of 2 or higher had a specificity of 95% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 96% for diagnosing ATTR, while excluding patients with monoclonal proteins raised the PPV to 100%.
- * The study concluded that a non-invasive diagnosis of ATTR CA is reliable with a Perugini score ≥ 2 and a normal FLC, but a tissue biopsy is essential in
Implant removal is unnecessary for biodegradable magnesium (Mg)-based implants and, therefore, the related risk for implant-induced fractures is limited. Aging, on the other hand, is associated with low bone-turnover and decreased bone mass and density, and thus increased fracture risk. Osteoporosis is accompanied by Mg deficiency, therefore, we hypothesized that Mg-based implants may support bone formation by Mg ion release in an ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rat model.
