The efficiency of single-session photobiomodulation on healing of periapical bone lesions using CBCT: a randomized clinical trial.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University, Organization of African Unity Street, Cairo, Egypt, 11766.
As photobiomodulation is growing in the dental field the aim of this prospective, two-arm clinical trial was to assess the radiographic changes for chronic periapical bone lesions related to mandibular molars after primary root canal therapy with or without applying Diode laser on soft tissue. The samples were randomly divided into a Laser group and a mock laser (ML) group. Preoperative CBCT images were compared 12 months later with postoperative CBCT to gauge the changes in the volume of the bony lesion by two observers.

Whether preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or perioperative chemotherapy is superior for localized esophageal or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancers has been a topic of long-standing debate. For years, standard of care in the United States for localized esophageal or GEJ adenocarcinoma (EAC) has been physician's choice between the 2 strategies. More recently, adjuvant immunotherapy has also been introduced into the treatment approach for those who received neoadjuvant CRT.

Objective: The aim of this single-center case series is to demonstrate that an ultra-low dose (ULD) can be routinely achieved in the hybrid operating room in standard endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm by adjusting the manufacturer's predefined imaging parameters, hardware configurations and user protocols (including benchmarking).
Methods: The hybrid operating room manufacturer predefined EVAR software setup of the dose exposure control software (OPTIQ, Siemens Healthineers, Forchheim, Germany) at our university medical center was screened for possible improvements regarding radiation dose application. Tests on a water-equivalent as well as polymethyl methacrylate phantom model to assess the impact of technical settings were performed, including comparison of settings for exposure control software, different magnification, collimation configurations and detector distance.
A relevant investigation of the degree of cement diffusion after robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Department of Spine Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, 210003, China.
The aim of this research was to conduct randomized trials assessing the extent of cement diffusion following robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (R-PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). A total of 96 OVCF patients meeting the inclusion criteria and admitted between January 2023 and November 2023 were included in the study. Among them, 48 patients were assigned to the robotic-assisted PVP group (R-PVP group) and 48 patients were assigned to the traditional PVP group (PVP group).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent TELD for LDH at our hospital from November 2022 to December 2023. Patients treated with the integrated optical and magnetic surgical navigation system were defined as the navigation-guided transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (Ng-TELD) group (30 cases), while those treated with the conventional X-ray fluoroscopy method were defined as the control group (31 cases).
