Montreal cognitive assessment reflects cognitive reserve.

Background: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is known to have discriminative power for patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Recently Cognitive Reserve (CR) has been introduced as a factor that compensates cognitive decline. We aimed to assess whether the MoCA reflects CR.

Efficacy of adjunctive celecoxib treatment for patients with major depressive disorder: a meta-analysis.

Background: Numerous studies have reported that inflammation is closely associated with depression, and adjunctive non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment has been suggested as a novel therapeutic approach for depression.

Methods: We searched electronic databases including Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. We only included randomized controlled trials comparing adjunctive NSAIDs with placebos for treating depressive episodes.

Narrow-diameter implants: a restorative option for limited interdental space.

The present study reports on the results of the use of a screw-retained narrow-diameter implant (NDI) system as an option for implant placement in areas of limited bone volume. This retrospective report followed 48 NDIs in 27 patients for 1 to 5 years postloading. No implant failures were reported, yielding a 100% survival rate.

Immediate loading of narrow-diameter implants with overdentures in severely atrophic mandibles.

Oral rehabilitation using two to four implants to support mandibular overdentures has been shown to have success rates of approximately 96% with implants placed in a one- or two-stage procedure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate 10 consecutive cases of immediately loaded, narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) as support for overdentures in severely atrophic mandibles, and report on implant/prosthetic survival rates and patient satisfaction. Overall implant and prosthetic survival rates were 94.
