Purpose: The present study was conducted to evaluate the amount of bone height gain, density values, and implant stability after maxillary sinus floor elevation using graftless tenting technique or the use of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles bone substitute for augmentation with simultaneous implant placement.
Materials And Methods: A total of 20 sinuses with a residual alveolar bone height ranging from 4-6 mm were divided into two groups and underwent sinus augmentation using nano hydroxyapatite bone substitute material and the graftless tenting technique with simultaneous implant placement. Computed tomography CT scans and ISQ measurements were conducted to evaluate bone quality, quantity, and implant stability.
Results: Radiographic analysis revealed that the mean bone height gain of the nano group was (7.0 ± 0.8 mm) compared to (5.0 ± 1.5 mm) in the tent group, which was statistically significant (P = .002) being higher in the nano group. The mean bone density value of the nano group was (548 ± 25 HU) compared to (420 ± 23 HU) in the tent group, which was statistically significant (P < .001) being higher in the nano group. The mean ISQ value after 6 months in the nano group was (78 ± 5) compared to (77 ± 5) in the tent group, which was statistically nonsignificant (P = .901).
Conclusion: Nano hydroxyapatite bone graft offered superior results in terms of the bone height gain and the relative bone density as compared to graftless tenting technique. However, both techniques showed accepted results regarding implant stability.

Objectives: Coronary graft failure (CGF) may occur early after coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG). The study aimed to identify clinical and perioperative risk factors and to evaluate the long-term clinical impact of symptomatic early CGF.
Methods: Patients who underwent clinically indicated coronary angiography (CAG) prior to post-CABG discharge between 2012 and 2022 were included.

Aims: Ischaemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a dynamic condition influenced by global and regional left ventricular remodelling as well as mitral valvular deformation. Exercise testing plays a substantial role in assessing the haemodynamic relevance of MR and is recommended by current guidelines. We aimed to assess the prevalence, haemodynamic consequences, and prognostic impact of dynamic MR using isometric handgrip exercise.

This narrative review explores the various injection techniques utilized in facial filler procedures, emphasizing their applications, benefits, and potential complications. The increasing demand for total facial contouring and rejuvenation has led to a rise in the use of volumizing fillers and the integration of these procedures with other treatments such as toxins, threads, lasers, radiofrequency, and ultrasound. Achieving satisfactory results necessitates a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and the effects of aging on skin tissue.
