Immediate function with Brånemark implants is well established for the mandible. This article describes a series of 857 implants placed consecutively in which very few implants failed or lost bone despite the dynamic healing conditions of simultaneous dental extractions and bone leveling. Though these findings are relatively early, 3 years or fewer, it appears that the immediate function All-on-Four procedure can be done with a high degree of confidence for the mandible--putting into question the need for additional implants.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Surgical Outcomes and Oncological Results of Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction Through a Single Axillary Incision with Different Approach Methods.
Ann Surg Oncol
December 2024
Division of Breast Surgery, Department of Surgery, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyüan, Taiwan, R.O.C..
Background: We investigated the perioperative outcome and oncologic safety of performing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) through a single axillary incision (NSM-SAI) compared with performing NSM through a conventional incision (NSM-C).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 725 patients who underwent NSM for breast cancer between January 2010 and December 2023; 333 patients who underwent NSM with immediate reconstruction (IR) were enrolled. Surgical outcomes and oncologic outcomes of NSM-C (n = 184), NSM performed through SAI with a freehand approach (NSM-SAI-F; n = 92), and with an endoscopic approach (NSM-SAI-E; n = 57) were demonstrated.
Kinematic status of Bryan and Mobi-C artificial cervical discs post cervical hybrid surgery: a retrospective study.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Dongzhimen Hospital Afliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, 100700, China.
Objective: To examine the mid-term efficacy and imaging results of using the Mobi-C and Bryan implants after cervical hybrid surgery for 2-level cervical spondylolisthesis, and to observe their postoperative changes and differences in the flexion-extension center of rotation (FE-COR) for the anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) segment.
Methods: Patients who underwent cervical hybrid surgery between June 2014 and June 2019 were included in this study. The mJOA, NDI, and VAS scores were used to assess clinical outcomes, and the FE-COR of the ACDR segment was measured.
Analysis of influencing factors of dry eyes after cataract surgery and construction of a prediction model.
Am J Transl Res
October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Suzhou Ninth People's Hospital Suzhou 215200, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: To identify the influencing factors of dry eyes after cataract surgery and construct a prediction model to provide a reference for ophthalmologists in assessing the risk of postoperative dry eyes.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2023 to April 2024, involving 219 patients (219 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation at the Department of Ophthalmology, Ninth People's Hospital of Suzhou. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of dry eyes at 2 weeks postoperatively.
Comparison of two formulas for calculating intraocular lens in patients with angle-closure glaucoma.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, The Second People's Hospital of Jinan, Jinan, PR China.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of two intraocular lens (IOL) measurement formulas—SRK/T and Barrett Universal II—specifically for cataract patients with angle-closure glaucoma (ACG).
- The research involved 146 ACG patients who underwent cataract surgery, with improvements noted in visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and anterior chamber depth three months post-operation, showing significant differences between the two formulas.
- Key findings indicated a significant difference in postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) between the two groups, and both IOL formulas were affected by axis length and anterior chamber depth, highlighting their importance in predicting refractive outcomes.
Efficacy and safety of leadless ventricular pacemaker: a single-center retrospective observational study.
Cardiovasc Diagn Ther
October 2024
Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Background: The Micra leadless pacemaker (MLP) has been demonstrated to be safe and effective as a substitute for conventional transvenous ventricular pacemakers (TVP). However, its application in the general population is still restricted. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the safety and efficacy of MLP.
