Esthetic Outcomes of Immediately Placed Implants with Convergent Transmucosal Profile: A Retrospective Single-Cohort Study.

Purpose: Immediate implant placement is a reliable solution to replace hopeless teeth, but this procedure may be associated to an increased risk of soft tissue complications in case of thin biotype. The use of tissue-level implants with a convergent transmucosal profile has been advocated to increase space for soft tissue, contributing to improve their stability and esthetics. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the esthetic outcomes and the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) of immediately placed implants with a convergent transmucosal profile.

Randomized trial on the effects of an EMDR intervention on traumatic and obsessive symptoms during the COVID-19 quarantine: a psychometric study.

Introduction: It has been suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic was a potentially traumatic occurrence that may have induced generalized anxiety and discomfort, particularly in susceptible populations like individuals with mental illnesses. The therapeutic approach known as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has been shown to be successful in helping patients process traumatic events and restore wellbeing. Nevertheless, little is known about the precise processes through which EMDR fosters symptom recovery.

Automated Pupillometry Is Able to Discriminate Patients with Acute Stroke from Healthy Subjects: An Observational, Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Automated pupillometry (AP) is a handheld, non-invasive tool that is able to assess pupillary light reflex dynamics and is useful for the detection of intracranial hypertension. Limited evidence is available on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The primary objective was to evaluate the ability of AP to discriminate AIS patients from healthy subjects (HS).

REDISCOVER guidelines for borderline-resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer: management algorithm, unanswered questions, and future perspectives.

The REDISCOVER guidelines present 34 recommendations for the selection and perioperative care of borderline-resectable (BR-PDAC) and locally advanced ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (LA-PDAC). These guidelines represent a significant shift from previous approaches, prioritizing tumor biology over anatomical features as the primary indication for resection. Condensed herein, they provide a practical management algorithm for clinical practice.

Validation of the Italian version of the Neuroception of Psychological Safety Scale (NPSS).

Research on the neuroscience of fear in both humans and non-humans has suggested that a lack of acquisition of safety cues might be a biological hallmark of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Danger perception, and in particular, feeling as one's own life is in danger, is thought to represent a major predictor of PTSD. Persistent danger perception is concurrently associated with a persistence of lack of safety.
