Objective: To carry out an anatomical study of the axis with the use of computed tomography (CT) in children aged from two to ten years, measuring the lamina angle, lamina and pedicle length and thickness, and lateral mass length.
Methods: Sixty-four CTs were studied from patients aged 24 to 120 months old, of both sexes and without any cervical anomaly. The measurements obtained were correlated with the data on age and sex of the patients. Statistical analysis was performed using the Students "t" tests.
Results: We found that within the age range 24-48 months, 5.5% of the lamina and 8.3% of the pedicles had thicknesses of less than 3.5mm, which is the minimum thickness needed for insertion of the screw. Between 49 and 120 months, there were no lamina thicknesses of less than 3.5mm, and 1.2% of the pedicle thicknesses were less than 3.5mm values. Neither of the age groups had any lamina and pedicle lengths of less than 12mm, or lateral mass lengths greater than 12mm.
Conclusion: The analysis of the data obtained demonstrates that most of the time, is possible to use a 3.5mm pedicle screw in the laminas and pedicles of the axis in children.
Level Of Evidence: II, Development of diagnostic criteria in consecutive patients.

Incisors inclination in relation to lip parameters: a CBCT study.
Dental Press J Orthod
December 2024
University of Alberta, School of Dentistry (Edmonton/Alberta, Canada).
Introduction: With the introduction of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in dentistry, precise measurements are now attainable.
Objective: This study seeks to explore the correlation between incisors inclination and various lip parameters utilizing CBCT technology. Moreover, it aims to assess whether specific incisors inclinations significantly influence lip thickness, length, and position.
Topical Losartan Inhibition of Myofibroblast Generation in Rabbit Corneas With Acute Incisions.

July 2024
Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH; and.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study whether deep central corneal incisions close during topical losartan treatment and the effect of topical losartan on myofibroblast generation after incisions in rabbit corneas.
Methods: Rabbits (12) had a 0.35-mm deep radial incision from the center of the cornea into the limbus in 1 eye that was approximated with a single 10-0 nylon suture 1 mm inside the limbus.
Comparison of Marginal Bone Loss in Simultaneous Versus Delayed Implant Placement Following Horizontal Ridge Augmentation with Autogenous Lateral Ramus Bone Block.

Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom, Iran.
Statement Of The Problem: Alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction may interfere with optimal dental implant placement.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the marginal bone loss (MBL) and thickness of the buccal aspect of the augmented site in simultaneous versus delayed implant placement following lateral ramus horizontal ridge augmentation in the posterior mandible.
Materials And Method: This prospective cohort study was conducted on patients who required horizontal bone augmentation of the posterior mandible using lateral ramus autogenous bone graft.
Operator Lower Leg Radiation Dose during Fluoroscopically Guided Interventions is Effectively Reduced by Wearing Lead-Equivalent Leg Wraps.

Background: The intensity of radiation scatter that emanates from the X-ray beam during fluoroscopically guided interventions is greater below the fluoroscopy table than above. Yet interventionalists' lower legs are typically unshielded and table skirts are often positioned incorrectly. We sought to characterize the efficacy of the leg protector wraps (Leg Wraps, Burlington Medical Inc.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the role of digital dermoscopy (DD) in the surveillance of pigmented lesions in real-life practice.
Patients And Methods: Patients followed with DD by 4 hospital dermatologists (group 1) and 4 private dermatologists (group 2) were retrospectively included if they had had at least 2 DD examinations for a minimum of 4 pigmented lesions. Their characteristics, risk factors, history of excision of benign nevi and melanomas prior to and during the DD follow-up, and characteristics of detected melanomas, were recorded.
