Background: Despite the theoretical advantage of a knee design that can more reliably replicate the medial pivot (MP) of the natural knee, only a few clinical studies have compared the clinical results between the MP prosthesis and another design of prosthesis. We compared the midterm results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using an MP prosthesis vs a posterior-stabilized prosthesis via a matched-pair analysis; we included results related to patellofemoral joint symptoms.
Methods: The midterm clinical and radiographic results of 125 consecutive patients (150 knees) who underwent a TKA with the ADVANCE MP prosthesis were compared with those of a control group who had undergone a primary TKA with a posterior-stabilized prosthesis.
Results: Values of the Knee Society's Knee Scoring System, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and Kujala and Feller scoring systems, as well as the range of motion after TKA, did not significantly differ between the 2 groups. No differences in femorotibial angle and component position, including the patella component, were observed between the 2 groups. No significant differences in the change of patella tilt angle and the postoperative patellar translation were observed between the 2 groups.
Conclusion: Patients with the MP prosthesis experienced satisfactory pain relief and a functional recovery, providing results similar to those of the posterior-stabilized prosthesis, including the resolution of patellofemoral joint symptoms.

Background: The short-term and midterm impact of gender differences on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been studied. However, the impact on long-term clinical outcomes remains unclear. The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of gender differences after TAVI on long-term clinical outcomes and structural valve deterioration (SVD).

Background: Focal therapy is considered one of the treatment options for localized prostate cancer (PCa), particularly for low or very-low-risk patients. In this study, we compared the mid-term oncological outcomes in localized PCa patients treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 237 patients who underwent HIFU for localized PCa.

Background: Left main coronary bifurcation lesions account for 50% of left main coronary artery disease cases. Although a drug-coated balloon (DCB) has the advantages of immediate release of the drug to the arterial wall and no remaining struts, there is no conclusive evidence to support DCB use.
Methods & Results: We conducted a systematic review in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Objective: To evaluate the 36-month clinical performance of Single Bond Universal Adhesive (SBU; 3M ESPE, Germany) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) using different modes of adhesion according to the FDI criteria. The primary outcome was the retention loss of the restorations, while the secondary outcomes included marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and tooth vitality, recurrence of caries erosion and abfraction, and tooth integrity, all evaluated according to the FDI criteria.
Materials And Methods: In this study, the SBU Adhesive was applied to 246 NCCLs of 25 patients using different modes of adhesion: Self-etch (SE), selective-enamel-etching (SLE), and etch-and-rinse (ER).

Purpose: The main objective of this prospective study was to assess clinical, radiographic and safety mid-term outcomes after THA with a short cemented stem in an elderly patient cohort. Moreover, the study aimed at investigating the mid-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of complications.
Methods: 96 consecutive patients (100 cases) underwent THA with a short cemented stem.
