Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

This is a prospective observational study designed to develop an echocardiography-guided tip location program for central venous catheter (CVC) implantation, and to assess the feasibility and the accuracy of the program. First, a multidisciplinary expert committee designed an echocardiography-guided tip location program; then, a pilot prospective observational study was conducted to assess the feasibility of the program in a vascular access clinic in a tertiary hospital. A total of 186 patients participated in the study.

Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis (SILT-DT) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating proximal gastric cancer. This technique includes comprehensive laparoscopic resection of the proximal stomach, lymph node dissection, and double-tract anastomosis. By integrating single-port laparoscopic surgery with an auxiliary operating hole, SILT-DT reduces procedural difficulty while facilitating the placement of an abdominal drainage tube.

Background: Although numerous prognostic scores have been developed for patients with cirrhosis after Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement over years, an accurate machine learning (ML)-based model remains unavailable. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a ML-based prognostic model to predict survival in patients with cirrhosis after TIPS placement.
Methods: In this retrospective study in China, patients diagnosed with cirrhosis after TIPS placement from 2014 to 2020 in our cohort were included to develop a ML-based model.
