Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis typically causes restrictive cardiomyopathy, in which the impairment of diastolic function is dominant. Echocardiography provides prognostic information through some important parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). However, LVEF often remains preserved despite disease progression, and GLS is not routinely performed as it is limited by suboptimal image quality.

Modeling of lifetime scenarios with non-monotonic failure rates.

PLoS One

Mathematics and Computer Science Department, Faculty of Science, Beni-Suef University, Beni-Suef, Egypt.

The Weibull distribution is an important continuous distribution that is cardinal in reliability analysis and lifetime modeling. On the other hand, it has several limitations for practical applications, such as modeling lifetime scenarios with non-monotonic failure rates. However, accurate modeling of non-monotonic failure rates is essential for achieving more accurate predictions, better risk management, and informed decision-making in various domains where reliability and longevity are critical factors.

Background: Recent research has revealed the potential value of machine learning (ML) models in improving prognostic prediction for patients with trauma. ML can enhance predictions and identify which factors contribute the most to posttraumatic mortality. However, no studies have explored the risk factors, complications, and risk prediction of preoperative and postoperative traumatic coagulopathy (PPTIC) in patients with trauma.

Importance: The Walter Index is a widely used prognostic tool for assessing 12-month mortality risk among hospitalized older adults. Developed in the US in 2001, its accuracy in contemporary non-US contexts is unclear.

Objective: To evaluate the external validity of the Walter Index in predicting posthospitalization mortality risk in Brazilian older adult inpatients.

Basal implants as a treatment alternative for severely resorbed ridges.

Minerva Dent Oral Sci

January 2025

RAK College of Dental Sciences, Department of Prosthodontics, RAK Medical and Health Sciences University, Ras Al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term treatment outcomes of basal implants in patients with severely resorbed ridges, including the survival and success rates, patient complaints, satisfaction, and Quality of Life.

Evidence Acquisition: An extensive electronic search was conducted on the search engines: PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT) and the key words (basal implants, Corticobasal implants, Strategic Implants, severely resorbed ridge, severely atrophic ridge, treatment outcome, patient satisfaction) within the last 10 years.

Evidence Synthesis: A total of 21 articles were found, encompassing 9732 basal implants placed in 1219 patients.
