After medial placement of the graft in myringoplasty the remaining air-bone gap within the speech range is on an average approximately 10,- dB. This remaining air-bone gap is, according to secured statistics, on an average approximately 10 dB lower than in a lateral placement of the graft. The bone conduction does usually not change in either operation method. The additional support of meatal skin graft on the underlayed fascia does not have any influence on the audiologic finding. The percentage of the reperforations is in type I with a rate of 18% rather high; both operation methods do not significantly differ.

Risk Factors and Outcomes of Invasive Candida Infections in Heart Transplant Recipients: A Case-Control Study.
Clin Transplant
February 2025
Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Invasive Candida infections (ICI) are the most common invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant recipients. There are limited contemporary data on the risk factors for infection in heart transplant (HT) recipients especially since the expansion of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) use.
Methods: This was a case-control study conducted at a tertiary care academic hospital of HT recipients from January 2022 to January 2024.
Human amniotic membrane graft removal and histopathologic evaluation following closure of a full thickness macular hole.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

University of Florida, Department of Ophthalmology, USA.
Purpose: Human amniotic membrane (hAM) grafts have been used to close persistent macular holes in recent years. The results from these surgeries are promising with improved closure rate and vision. However, there is lack of data for what happens to these membranes and how long the tissue should remain inside the patient's eyes.

Background: Obesity is a significant barrier to kidney transplantation for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on kidney transplantation access and outcomes in individuals with obesity and ESRD patients.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study using data from 64 US healthcare organizations included 132,989 individuals with obesity (BMI ≥30kg/m²) and ESRD requiring dialysis, of whom 6,263 (4.
GBR assisted Onlay bone grafting for the posterior maxillary horizontal ridge augmentation: a case report and literature review.
Front Bioeng Biotechnol
January 2025
Hospital of Stomatogy, Jilin University, Changchun, China.
The posterior mandible is the primary area for occlusal function. However, long-term tooth loss in the posterior mandible often leads to rapid absorption of both buccal and lingual trabecular bone plates and subsequent atrophy of the alveolar ridge. This ultimately results in horizontal bone deficiencies that complicate achieving an optimal three-dimensional placement for dental implants.
