The Impact of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among UK Women: An Obesity-Adjusted Analysis.

Introduction: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is known to elevate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but the extent to which obesity and IIH-specific factors contribute to this risk is not well understood. WE aim to separate the effects of obesity from IIH-specific factors on the risk of stroke and CVD, building on previous findings that indicate a two-fold increase in cardiovascular events in women with IIH compared to BMI-matched controls.

Methods: An obesity-adjusted risk analysis was conducted using Indirect Standardization based on data from a cohort study by Adderley et al.

Validation of novel measurement protocols proposed for the standardized assessment of crestal bone levels: A cone-beam computed tomography study.

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce, evaluate, and compare various novel assessment protocols designed for straightforward, reliable, and reproducible measurement of alveolar bone levels. These protocols are intended for standardized periodontal assessment and follow-up, utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and manipulation of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) viewer software.

Materials And Methods: Two experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologists developed 5 distinct radiographic measurement protocols.

Aesthetic Outcome of Isolated Advancement Genioplasty With and Without Submental Liposuction in the Treatment of Skeletal Chin Deficiency in Double Chin Patients (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial).

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of submental liposuction with advancement genioplasty versus advancement genioplasty alone on esthetics in double chin patients. Twenty-six patients with deficient chin were included in the study. The patients were distributed into 2 groups: submental fat liposuction in conjunction with advancement genioplasty group as intervention one and advancement genioplasty alone as a control group.

The efficacy and safety of alcohol septal ablation stratified by alcohol dosage for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is recommended for moderate to severe symptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The current guidelines don not recommend particular alcohol doses and the amount of alcohol injected into the septal artery is based more on the interventionalist's decision rather than on systematic evidence. Our objective is to execute a comprehensive assessment of the efficacy and safety of low alcohol doses (1-2 ml)) in comparison to large ones (2-4 ml).

Drug-coated balloons versus drug-eluting stents in patients with in-stent restenosis: An updated meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.

Background: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) have promising results in the management of in-stent restenosis (ISR), still their role remains a major challenge, and not well established in contemporary clinical practice.

Aims: To provide a comprehensive appraisal of the efficacy and safety of DCBs in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR).

Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, web of Science, Ovid, and Cochrane Central from inception until 30 March, 2023.
