Purpose: Primary stability and micromovement of dental implants depend on structural properties of the surrounding bone and on implant dimension and design. The purpose of this study was to provide objective data for the influence of implant diameter on the displacement of titanium screw implants.
Materials And Methods: Ninety Semados implants (length 15 mm, diameter 3.25, 3.75, and 4.5 mm; Bego, Bremen, Germany) were inserted in trabecular bone specimens. All implants were inserted with a torque up to 30 N·cm and loaded horizontally with 10, 20, and 30 N for 2 seconds.
Results: All implants showed primary stability. With increasing force, a gradual increase of micromovement was observed (Kruskal-Wallis test, P = 0.000). No significant differences were found (Kruskal-Wallis test, P = 0.148) comparing different diameters for every force.
Conclusions: Variation of the diameter of standard implants between 3.25 and 4.5 mm does not seem to influence the primary stability in trabecular bone specimen. Differences between experimental and computational results may be due to the simplification used when modeling.

Background: In the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD), blood-based biomarkers have become increasingly important for various clinical purposes, such as screening patients and tracking the progression of the disease. Tau is a protein that stabilizes microtubules in nerve cells. In AD, different isoforms of tau become hyperphosphorylated, leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, which are a key pathological feature of the AD.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by cognitive impairment and memory loss. Previous studies have demonstrated that plasminogen, a key molecule in the fibrinolytic system, is implicated in the pathophysiology of AD. However, it is yet unknown whether the relationship between blood plasminogen and AD is causal.

A Phase 2 study is evaluating ALZ-801 effects on plasma biomarkers, brain volumes and cognitive outcomes in APOE4 carriers. Plasma p-tau reduction over 104 weeks is primary endpoint.

Background: Non-memory-led dementias pose additional challenges to 'typical dementias' including unusual symptoms and younger onset leading to particularly high neuropsychiatric comorbidities. As part of the economic evaluation supporting the RD-talk research programme, we require the collection of participant level resource use associated with the intervention compared with usual care. The resource use measure (RUM) needs to be sufficiently comprehensive, but still focused to capture the key items of interest (e.

However, dropout artifacts are present in some modalities, leading to poor image quality and unreliable segmentation of MTL subregions. Considering that MRI modalities with different field strength offer distinct advantages in imaging different parts of the MTL, we developed a muti-modality segmentation model using both 7-tesla (7T) and 3-tesla (3T) structural MRI to obtain robust segmentation in poor-quality images.
