Purpose: The extent of conization seems to influence the risk of preterm birth. The aim of this study was to compare the cone volume after surgical resection with large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) and cold knife conization (CKC).
Methods: The present retrospective multi-center study comprises 804 consecutive women, who underwent LLETZ (n = 412) or CKC (n = 392) between 2004 and 2009. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to compare cone volumes removed by LLETZ and CKC and identify independent risk factors for large cone volume.
Results: The median resected cone volume after LLETZ was significantly smaller [1.6 cm(3) (0.8-2.9)] than after CKC [2.1 cm(3) (1.4-3.5)] (<0.0001). Complete resection rates were comparable in both groups. Conization method, cone depth, and institution type were independent risk factors for removal of a large cone volume.
Conclusion: CKC removes larger cone volumes than LLETZ without the advantage of higher complete resection rates.

This study aims to investigate the three-dimensional morphological differences of the sphenoid sinus according to sex in the Korean adult population and conduct an exploratory study based on the findings. The sphenoid sinus, located deep within the skull, plays a crucial role in forensic identification due to its relative protection from external damage and its unique anatomical characteristics. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 120 patients (60 males and 60 females) aged 20-29, the sphenoid sinus was visualized and measured in three dimensions using Mimics software (version 22.

Background/objectives: Evidence suggests nasal airflow resistance reduces after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the medium-term effects of RME on upper airway (UA) airflow characteristics when normal craniofacial development is considered are still unclear. This retrospective cohort study used computer fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the medium-term changes in the UA airflow (pressure and velocity) after RME in two distinct age-based cohorts.

Precise volumetric measurement of newly formed bone after maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) can help clinicians in planning for dental implants. This study aimed to introduce a novel modular framework to facilitate volumetric calculations based on manually drawn segmentations of user-defined areas of interest on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images MATERIAL & METHODS: Two interconnected networks for manual segmentation of a defined volume of interest and dental implant volume calculation, respectively, were used in parallel. The volume data of dental implant manufacturers were used for reference.
