Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the accuracy of dental casts for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made through digital versus traditional (analog) methods, specifically looking at how the shape of the abutment teeth influences this accuracy.
- Researchers used intraoral scanning and various additive manufacturing techniques to create both digital and plaster casts, assessing their accuracy through measurement deviations compared to a reference model.
- Results showed that both the manufacturing technique and the geometry of the abutment teeth significantly impacted the accuracy of the casts, indicating that not all methods yield equally precise outcomes depending on these variables.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-skin malignancy among men and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Accurate staging of PCa, particularly the assessment of extra-prostatic extension (EPE), is critical for prognosis and treatment planning. EPE, typically evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is associated with higher risks of positive surgical margins, biochemical recurrence, metastasis, and reduced overall survival.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study conducted by magnetic resonance imaging review. We evaluated three different strategies measures for quantification of hepatic steatosis in two matched groups: homogeneous and heterogeneous steatosis.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether morphological (linear measurements) and functional (ADC value) assessments of periprostatic fat can predict the aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PCa) over a 5-year follow-up period.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with histologically proven PCa who underwent 3.0T MRI between July 2016 and June 2018.
Aldosterone-secreting adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare and usually present as large tumors. The only potentially curative treatment for ACC is surgical resection. However, surgery may be unfeasible in some patients who have multiple comorbidities or decline the procedure.
