Outcomes of Surgical Treatment of Peri-Implantitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: The available scientific evidence on the effectiveness of the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis is limited. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of recurrence or disease progression in patients with peri-implantitis that underwent surgical treatment.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in patients subjected to peri-implant surgery between 2015 and 2021, and with a minimum follow-up of 12 months.

Safe practices in Intensive Care Medicine, is zero risk possible?

Incidents related to patient safety are a problem of great impact in Intensive Care Medicine (ICM). Multiple strategies have been developed to identify them, analyze, and develop policies aim at reducing their incidence and minimizing their effects and consequences. The development of a safety culture, an adequate organizational and structural design of the ICM, which contemplates the implementation of effective safe practices, with a provision of human resources adjusted to the care activity carried out and the periodic analysis of the different events and their factors, will allow us to bring the risk of critical patient care closer to zero, as would be desirable.

Cranial-Vertebral-Maxillary Morphological Integration in Down Syndrome.

Background: Morphological integration refers to the tendency of anatomical structures to show correlated variations because they develop in response to shared developmental processes or function in concert with other structures. The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between the dimensions of different cranial-cervical-facial structures in patients with Down syndrome (DS). Methodology: The study group consisted of 41 individuals with DS who had undergone cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at the Dental Radiology Unit of the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

Probing single-tooth dental implants with and without prostheses: a cross-sectional study comparing healthy and peri-implant mucositis sites.

Aim: To evaluate differences in probing depth (PPD) with and without a prosthesis in implants without interproximal bone loss (IBL). Secondarily, to assess whether the difference in PPD measured with and without the crown was affected by diagnosis or implant location.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with a single screw-retained implant-supported crown in the posterior area, without IBL.

Effect of implantoplasty on fracture resistance and surface roughness of standard diameter dental implants.

Objective: To assess the effect of implantoplasty on the fracture resistance, surface roughness, and macroscopic morphology of standard diameter (4.1 mm) external connection dental implants.

Materials And Methods: An in vitro study was conducted in 20 screw-shaped titanium dental implants with an external connection.

Epidemiology and Changes in Mortality of Sepsis After the Implementation of Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines.

Purpose: To determine the epidemiology and outcome of severe sepsis and septic shock after 9 years of the implementation of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) and to build a mortality prediction model.

Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study performed during a 5-month period in 2011 in a network of 11 intensive care units (ICUs). We compared our findings with those obtained in the same ICUs in a study conducted in 2002.

Mortality Reduction and Long-Term Compliance with Surviving Sepsis Campaign: A Nationwide Multicenter Study.

Purpose: To determine the long-term degree of compliance with the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) bundles and related outcomes after an educational program in septic patients admitted to a network of intensive care units (ICU).

Methods: Prospective, observational, multicenter study in several ICUs during a 5-month period for evaluating the degree of compliance with the SSC bundles of resuscitation in the first 6 h (B6H) and management in the following 24 h (B24H). We compared the findings with those from a historical cohort at the same ICUs after an educational program (EDUSEPSIS) 5 years earlier.

Accuracy of periapical radiography in assessing bone level in implants affected by peri-implantitis: a cross-sectional study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of periapical radiography in measuring peri-implant bone levels.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five subjects with 46 implants in need of surgical treatment for peri-implantitis were included in this cross-sectional study. Prior to surgery, periapical radiographs were taken, a prediction of type of defect was made and radiographic peri-implant bone levels (RxBL) were determined at the mesial and distal aspects.

[Variant phenotype of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome].

Background And Objective: Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) and LNS variants are due to mutations in the HPRT1 gene causing HPRT enzymatic activity deficiency. We report a patient presenting a variant phenotype and a major genetic defect. The mutation has been previously reported as always associated with complete Lesch-Nyhan phenotype.
