Background: Polypectomy, EMR, transanal endoscopic microsurgery, and surgery have been performed as treatments of rectal tumors. Endoscopic procedures are the least-invasive treatments for patients. Complete resection of the lesion is required to prevent its recurrence, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has begun to be performed. With increasing requirements for safety, reliability, and simplicity in ESD, we decided to use a 2-point fixed ESD with a transparent hood fitted with a mucosal forceps channel in a case of a rectal tumor and report its usefulness.
Objective: To evaluate the safety, simplicity, and usefulness of 2-point fixed ESD performed on a rectal tumor.
Design: Case series.
Setting: Kanagawa Cancer Center Hospital.
Main Outcome Measurements: Safety, simplicity, and usefulness of 2-point fixed ESD performed on a rectal tumor.
Results: The mean duration of the procedure was 45 minutes (range 30-110 minutes). Hemostasis and manipulation of the vessels were easy in all patients who did not have postoperative bleeding, perforation, or retroperitoneal emphysema as complications.
Limitations: Uncontrolled study.
Conclusion: This study of 2-point ESD performed in 12 patients with rectal lesions revealed that the 2-point ESD with a transparent hood fitted with a mucosal forceps channel is a useful auxiliary device, enabling safe and reliable ESD on a rectal lesion.

Objectives: To identify characteristics that contribute to surgical complexity in pilon fractures and to develop a machine learning (ML) Pilon Surgical Difficulty Score (PSDS) based on these factors.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Academic Level I trauma center.
Recent Medicaid expansions have rekindled the debate around private insurance "crowd-out". Prior research is limited by short-time horizons and state-specific analyses. Our study overcomes these limitations by evaluating twenty years of Medicaid expansions across the entire United States.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the feasibility of 2-point fixation using absorbable plates by the transoral approach in the management of the zygomatic complex (ZMC) fractures.
Methods: Twenty-five patients (15 male and 10 female, age range 16 y to 55 y) with Knight and North Group Ⅲ zygomatic fractures were included in this case series. Open reduction by intraoral approach was performed on these patients, and the fractures were fixed using absorbable plates placed at the zygomaticomaxillary buttress and infraorbital rim.
Initial damage and failure load of zirconia-ceramic and metal-ceramic posterior cantilever fixed partial dentures.

Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, University Hospital Heidelberg, University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 400, 69120, Heidelberg, Germany.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare failure load and initial damage in monolithic, partially veneered, and completely veneered (translucent) zirconia cantilevered fixed partial dentures (CFPDs), as well as completely veneered metal-ceramic CFPDs under different support and loading configurations.
Materials And Methods: Eight test groups with anatomically congruent CFPDs (n = 8/group) were fabricated, differing in CFPD material/support structure/loading direction (load applied via steel ball (Ø 6 mm) 3 mm from the distal end of the pontic for axial loading with a 2-point contact on the inner cusp ridges of the buccal and oral cusps and 1.3 mm below the oral cusp tip for 30° oblique loading): (1) monolithic zirconia/CoCr abutment teeth/axial, (2) monolithic zirconia/CoCr abutment teeth/oblique, (3) partially veneered zirconia/CoCr abutment teeth/axial, (4) partially veneered zirconia/CoCr abutment teeth/oblique, (5) completely veneered zirconia/CoCr abutment teeth/axial, (6) completely veneered CoCr/CoCr abutment teeth/axial (control group), (7) partially veneered zirconia/implants/axial, and (8) partially veneered zirconia/natural teeth/axial.

Objectives: Long-term stabilization of orthodontic treatment outcomes is an everyday challenge in orthodontics. The use of permanently attached lingual retainers has become gold standard. However, in some cases, patients with fixed lingual retainers show retainer-associated side effects.
