Purpose: To analyze the risk factors associated with the survival of self-threading implants placed with the ridge expansion technique using self-tapping osteotomes after at least 24 months.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study followed patients for at least 2 years in whom implants had been inserted by means of the ridge expansion technique. The patient was taken as the unit of analysis, and the loss of any implant as a result of mobility at any time during the follow-up period was considered as a failure. A number of patient variables were recorded: sociodemographic (age/sex), anatomical (bone quantity/quality, expansion zone), infection history (prior antibiotic therapy for active infection), prosthodontic (type of provisional prosthesis and type of definitive rehabilitation), and surgical (number of surgical stages, the use of biomaterials or atraumatic maxillary sinus elevation). Risk factors were expressed as values of relative risk (RR) and the odds ratio.
Results: Seventy-four patients (157 implants) were followed over a mean period of 38.8 ± 7.7 months. Most patients (91.9%) did not lose any implants, and failures occurred mainly after implant loading (5.4%). Sociodemographic factors (sex and age) were not associated with a significant risk of implant failure. However, the existence of previous local infection (RR = 34.0), the use of an immediate fixed provisional prosthesis (RR = 15.0), and type D3 bone (RR = 5.1) were seen to be the main risk factors involved in this technique for the period assessed.
Conclusions: The risk of failure when implants are placed using self-tapping osteotomes was highest in patients who had active local infection; immediate provisionalization and less dense bone were also associated with additional risk of failure.

The Use of Omics in Untangling the Effect of Lifestyle Factors in Pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes: A Systematic Review.
Diabetes Metab Res Rev

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Adelaide Medical School, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia.
Aim: To synthesise the evidence from clinical trials and observational studies using omics techniques to investigate the impact of diet and lifestyle factors on metabolite profile in pregnancy, and in the prevention and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Ovid, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases in October 2023 and updated in September 2024. Inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials (RCT) or non-RCTs in pregnant women with or without GDM, that measured diet and lifestyle factors, and which applied post-transcriptional omics approaches.

Recently, it has been realized that immune processes participate in the pathogenesis of human cancers. A large number of genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes have been extensively examined for their roles in the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), including IL4 gene rs2070874, IL4RA gene rs1801275, IL18 gene rs187238, IL18RAP gene rs917997, IL17A gene rs8193036, IL23R gene rs1884444 and IL23R gene rs10889677. However, there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further research.

Factors Influencing the Use of Shave Biopsy for Lesions Suspicious of Melanoma in Australia: An Exploratory Mixed-Methods Study.
Australas J Dermatol

The Frazer Institute, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Recent Australian trends indicate that shave biopsies for diagnosing lesions suspicious of melanoma are increasing, yet reasons for this remain relatively unknown. We sought to understand which factors influence Australian clinicians' use of shave biopsy for managing thin lesions suspicious of melanoma in sites of low cosmetic sensitivity.
Methods: We used a convergent, exploratory mixed-methods design, with a cross-sectional online survey (n = 59) and semi-structured qualitative interviews (n = 15).
Lumpectomy Patients are at Highest Risk for Opioid Overprescription: A Comparison Between Practice Patterns and OPEN National Guidelines.

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA.
Background: Nearly 25% of opioid-related deaths are from prescribed opioids, and the exacerbation of the opioid epidemic by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic underscores the urgent need to address superfluous prescribing. Therefore, we sought to align local opioid prescribing practices with national guidelines in postoperative non-metastatic breast cancer patients.
Methods: A single-institution analysis included non-metastatic breast surgery patients treated between April 2020 and July 2021.
