Peri-implant soft tissue problems seen during the maintenance phase of implant therapy include an inadequate zone of keratinized tissue, mobility of grafted tissue, mucosal "pouching," gingival hyperplasia, gingival fistulas, and gingivitis. Techniques to alleviate or reduce these problems include free soft tissue autografts, apically positioned flaps, reduction of tissue thickness by a flap procedure or gingivectomy, and increased attention to the control of inflammation.

regenerates one head when cut, but how forces shaping the head are coordinated remains unclear. Soft compression of 's head-regenerating tissues induces the formation of viable, two-headed animals. Compression creates new topological defects in the supracellular orientational order of muscular actin fibers, associated with additional heads.

Objectives: To compare the clinical effectiveness of a novel bioceramic (BC) with a control xenograft (BO) for guided bone regeneration (GBR) performed simultaneously with implant placement.
Materials And Methods: This clinical study enrolled patients with insufficient bone volume who required GBR during implant placement to increase bone width using either BC or BO. Outcome measures included a dimensional reduction in buccal bone thickness measured by cone beam computed tomography performed immediately post-surgery and at 6 months postoperatively (ΔHBBT), soft tissue healing at 14 days, 1 month, and 6 months postoperatively, and complications rates.

Purpose: This study investigated epidemiologic features of patients with pancreatic cancer in Korea, according to the histologic subtypes.
Methods: The Korea Central Cancer Registry data on patients with pancreatic cancer from 1999 to 2019 were reviewed. The 101,446 patients with pancreatic cancer (C25 based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision) were allocated according to the following morphological codes: A, endocrine; B, carcinoma excluding cystic and mucinous; C, cystic or mucinous; D, acinar cell; and E, sarcoma and soft tissue tumor.

Objective: To identify and analyze the main findings on computed tomography (CT) scans ordered in the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital.
Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted through analysis of CT scans of the head, chest, and abdomen of all patients admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital over a period of four months.
Results: Among a sample of 331 patients, pathological radiological findings were observed in 59.

Background: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) was introduced to provide surgeons with virtual preoperative planning and intraoperative information to achieve the desired surgical goals in an effort to improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures following primary TKA using RA-TKA vs manual instrumentation.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort review study comparing 393 primary RA-TKAs vs 312 manual TKAs at a minimum 2-year follow-up.
