Article Abstract
Background: Maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery is widely used as a preimplantology method to permit implant insertion. Nevertheless, very few data are available about long-term stability of dental implants inserted in grafted sites.
Purpose: The aims of the present study were to evaluate the evolution of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) values at 6 and 12 months from the implant insertion in sinus grafted sites and nongrafted sites.
Materials And Methods: In 14 patients, 80 Xive implants (Dentsply Friadent GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) were inserted. Sixty-three implants were inserted in a site previously treated with a sinus lift; 17 implants were inserted in healed or postextraction sites. For each implant diameter, length, bone density, insertion torque, and percentage of implant fixed to a nongrafted bone were recorded. RFA values at implant insertion after 6 and 12 months were recorded.
Results: After 6 and 12 months, grafted sites showed higher RFA values than the control sites; after 12 months, the difference was statistically significant (.007). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between resonance frequency values and bone quality after 12 months (.05). No statistically significant correlation between RFA values and all the other variables considered was found.
Conclusions: Sites treated with sinus lift can offer good long-term stability. After 6 and 12 months, the geometric characteristics of the implant are no longer important to obtain high RFA values, and the bone-implant interface seems to be determinant.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), as a minimally invasive surgery strategy based on local thermal-killing effect, is widely used in the clinical treatment of multiple solid tumors. Nevertheless, RFA cannot achieve the complete elimination of tumor lesions with larger burden or proximity to blood vessels. Incomplete RFA (iRFA) has even been validated to promote residual tumor growth due to the suppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

: This study aimed to evaluate the primary stability, according to the insertion torque value (ITV) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA), of dental implants placed in standardized blocks of bone quality equivalent to type II-A bone, using three surgical undersized protocols of 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.

Article Synopsis
- Guidelines suggest that patients with high-risk gastric intestinal metaplasia should have endoscopic surveillance for gastric cancer every three years.
- This study explored the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in completely eliminating high-risk gastric intestinal metaplasia.
- Results showed that RFA led to a significantly higher complete resolution rate of GIM lesions compared to a group receiving only observation, particularly in those with incomplete GIM.

Background: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) usually recurs after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This study probed the predictive value of monocyte count to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) with left atrial diameter (LAD) for post-RFA recurrence in PFA patients.
Methods: Totally 210 RFA-treated PAF patients were selected and assigned into Recurrence and Non-Recurrence groups, with clinical baseline data recorded.

Background: The StärkeR study has shown the non-inferiority of a team-based form of care with delegation to rheumatological specialist assistants (RFA) compared to standard care in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Objective: Exploratory analyses regarding a possible influence of the treatment setting (specialist practice/outpatient clinic) on various outcome parameters in patients with RA or PsA in the context of delegation to RFA.
Material And Methods: Patients with RA or PsA and stable adjustment with low disease activity from 3 outpatient clinics and 14 rheumatological specialist practices that participated in the StärkeR study were included in this post hoc analysis.
