Hot Hearts on Bone Scintigraphy Are Not All Amyloidosis: Hyperoxaluria-Associated Cardiomyopathy.

A 54-year-old woman with a history of end-stage renal disease was found to have infiltrative cardiomyopathy by echocardiography. 99m Tc-pyrophosphate ( 99m Tc-PYP) scintigraphy was positive with a remarkable myocardial uptake. Gene test found a mutation of AGXT , confirming a final diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria.

[Comparison of short-term clinical effect and assessment of influencial factors around single-tooth in the aesthetic area: immediate implant placement versus delayed implant placement].

Purpose: To compare the short-term clinical effect and to assess the influencial factors of immediate implant placement and delayed implant placement around single-tooth implant in the aesthetic area.

Methods: A total of 114 patients requiring a single-tooth implant in the aesthetic area were reviewed at Center for Implant Dentistry of Stomatological Hospital of China Medical University. They were divided into immediate implant group and delayed implant group.
