Purposes: The objectives of this study were to chronologically examine the titanium-bone interfaces and to clarify the process of osseointegration using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and micro-computed tomography (CT).
Materials And Methods: Experimental implants (Ti-coating plastic implants) were placed into tibiae of 8-week-old rats. Animals were sacrificed at 1 to 28 days after implant placement and prepared tissue specimens for a light microscope, a TEM, and micro-CT.
Results: New bone formation began 5 days after implant placement, and osseointegration was obtained by 14 days after implant placement. Osseointegration was well developed by 28 days after implant placement.
Discussion: TEM and quantitative computer tomography (QCT) results indicated that bone formation in osseointegration of titanium implants did not occur from the surfaces of the implant or preexisting bone, but it was likely that bone formation progressed at a site a small distance away from the surface. The bone formation took place in a scattered manner. Small bone fragments adhered to each other and transformed into reticular-shaped bone, and finally these bones became lamellar bone.
Conclusion: Comparative analysis of the titanium-bone interfaces using light microscopy, TEM, and QCT by micro-CT revealed the precise process of osseointegration.

Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) is a rare but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. Determining how to conduct surgical repair safely is critical. We compared the outcomes of Impella and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation during perioperative mechanical circulatory support management in patients with PIVSR (n = 22).

Background And Objectives: The key points of a monographic vascular access (VA) consultation are an adequate preoperative assessment, as well as a correct management and optimization of waiting lists. Our main objective of present study was to evaluate the degree of exploratory-dependent concordance in outpatient clinics regarding implanted VA, between nephrology and vascular surgery.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed VA created or surgically repaired between 2021 and 2022.

Purpose To study the incidence, clinical features, microbiology, and visual outcome of endophthalmitis associated with glaucoma surgery in children at a tertiary care eye hospital in Saudi Arabia. Methods The medical records of patients <18 years of age who presented with endophthalmitis following glaucoma surgery between January 2008 and October 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Results Endophthalmitis after glaucoma surgery was observed in 20 eyes, or 18 out of 853 eyes that underwent glaucoma surgery at our institution (2.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of thread design on the soft and hard tissues around implants in rat maxillary peri-implantitis-like lesions.
Methods: Fourteen, 9-week-old, female Wistar rats were used in this study. Two types of grade IV titanium tissue-level implants with a standard V-shape and buttress threads were prepared (control and test implants, respectively).
Usefulness of Echocardiographic Parameters of Myocardial Work in Patients with Aortic Stenosis Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Myocardial work (MW) is a new echocardiographic parameter used in the assessment of cardiac energy expenditure. The aim of the current study was to evaluate changes in left ventricular MW parameters in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). One hundred and thirty five consecutive patients who underwent TAVI at one center were evaluated before and after the procedure using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to assess the following MW indices: global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work index (GWI) and global work efficiency (GWE).
