Purpose - The use of the one abutment one time concept involves the indirect measurement of the implant stability without removing the previously placed abutment. This study aims to verify whether measuring the implant stability quotient at the abutment level is identical to the value obtained at the implant level. Material And Methods - A retrospective clinical study and an in vitro study were performed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the Sigma-2/TMEM97 receptor's role in cholesterol metabolism using selective agonists, rimcazole and siramesine, to understand its contribution to maintaining cholesterol homeostasis.
  • Findings reveal that activating Sigma-2/TMEM97 influences cholesterol uptake and protein interactions, leading to increased free cholesterol and neutral lipid accumulation, advancing our understanding of cholesterol metabolism.

Childbirth is a challenging event that can lead to long-term consequences such as prolapse or incontinence. While computational models are widely used to mimic vaginal delivery, their integration into clinical practice is hindered by time constraints. The primary goal of this study is to introduce an artificial intelligence pipeline that leverages patient-specific surrogate modeling to predict pelvic floor injuries during vaginal delivery.
