Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of space closure of two bracket systems, self-ligating and conventional ones, considering two systems with the same design and prescription. The experimental model of this study aims to identify in general if one type of system is more suitable for planning the extractive therapy, without considering the clinical aspect necessary for an adequate orthodontic approach.
Methods: A resin maxilla without the first premolars was used to test the self-ligating and conventional brackets system. Space closure was achieved on 0.016x0.022" in stainless steel wires with nickel-titanium coil springs 150 grams in strength and 10 mm in length. Two experiment settings have been prepared. The first setting was made bonding conventional bracket on the right side and self-ligating on the left; the last one was made bonding self-ligating bracket on the right side and conventional on the left. All measurements (runs) have been repeated seven times for both settings.
Results: During the closing phase of extraction spaces both systems are equable since there are no significant statistical differences (P=0.70).
Conclusion: Our typodont model showed no significant difference in the efficiency of space closure between the self-ligating bracket and conventional bracket tied with stainless steel ligatures.

Nonlinear plasma physics problems are usually simulated through comprehensive modeling of phase space. The extreme computational cost of such simulations has motivated the development of multi-moment fluid models. However, a major challenge has been finding a suitable fluid closure for these fluid models.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (SCCT) represents a rare subtype of thyroid malignancy characterized by a poor prognosis and is frequently misdiagnosed as subacute thyroiditis (SAT). This report discusses a case of SCCT that was recurrently misdiagnosed with neck pain as the initial clinical presentation. An 80-year-old Asian female presented multiple times to the department of emergency, department of vascular and thyroid surgery, and department of endocrinology due to a painful neck mass.

Importance: International guidelines recommend the use of triclosan-containing sutures for the prevention of surgical site infections. However, controversy still remains about triclosan-containing suture use in clinical practice since several new randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have shown contradicting results.
Objective: To update a previous systematic review and meta-analysis of the association of triclosan-containing sutures with surgical site infections and explore the potential added value of new RCTs.

Chylothorax is a rare but insidious condition, characterized by the accumulation of chyle in the pleural space, which is particularly common after cardiothoracic surgeries. It presents significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. In this technical report, we present our experience in managing four cases of postsurgical chylothorax, each one treated with a different approach.
