Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the density of bone where implants were placed and the angular deviations that occurred between the virtually planned and actually placed implants using 2 different stereolithographic surgical guides.
Methods: The study population consisted of 54 patients who received 216 implants. Computed tomography machine was used for preoperative evaluation of the jawbone for implant therapy as well as determination of the bone density values (Hounsfield units [HU]) of the implantation site. All implant sockets were prepared using 2 different types of stereolithographic surgical guide. Ninety-four implants were installed using the surgical guides (Stentcad Beyond, Ay-Design; Kos-gep, ODTU, Ankara, Turkey) in the mouth, whereas 122 implants were placed after the surgical guides (Stentcad Classic; Kos-gep, ODTU) were removed.
Results: The mean bone densities of maxilla and mandible were 561.36 (SD, 229.46) HU and 890.63 (SD, 361.85) HU, respectively. The mean angular deviations between planned and placed implants using Stentcad Classic and Stentcad Beyond surgical guides were 5.32 (SD, 1.96) degrees and 3.73 (SD, 1.14) degrees, respectively. Highly negative correlation was found between the bone density of the placed implant sites and angular deviations in the group in whom implants were installed with freehand.
Conclusions: The lower bone density values have resulted in the greater angular deviations in the group, in whom the implants were placed after the surgical guides were removed. This deviation might have been derived from the freehand placement of the implants and the poor quality of the bone.

Cardiac sarcomas are rare, aggressive malignancies originating from various cardiac cell types, presenting significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in diagnosis and treatment of cardiac angiosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. And we briefly discuss the exceedingly rare occurrence of cardiac osteosarcoma and present our perspectives on its treatment.

Background: Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for degenerative mitral regurgitation, yet there is ongoing controversy regarding optimal anti-thrombotic therapy post-MVr. This scoping review aimed to summarise current evidence on the safety and efficacy of anti-thrombotic therapy after MVr, identify knowledge gaps and propose a future study design.

Surgery for spinal intramedullary tumors remains a major challenge for neurosurgeons. Successful surgery requires experience, skill, and intraoperative imaging support. Fluorescence imaging technology has become a valuable support in neurosurgical procedures of not only the brain but also the spinal cord.

Lateral lumbar interbody fusion(LLIF), including extreme lateral interbody fusion(XLIF) and oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF), constitute a treatment option for many lumbar disorders that predominantly cause degenerative disc disease. LLIF is beneficial for managing conditions, such as lumbar spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and adult spinal deformities. LLIF is preferred for enabling indirect decompression of the spinal canal and nerve root foramen, without inducing immediate postoperative damage to the peri-vertebral tissues.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, characterized by high recurrence rates post-curative resection. Tumor markers des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) are crucial for HCC diagnosis and prognosis, yet their roles in the modern era of HCC epidemiology require reevaluation.
Methods: This multi-institutional retrospective study analyzed 1,515 patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary HCC.
