The choice of implant in an infection of the spine depends on what type of infection it is: discitis, spondylodiscitis, early infection after spinal surgery, or a late infection. The appropriate treatment strategies vary. In spondylodiscitis, a titanium implant may be necessary. In implant-associated early infections, surgical sanitization is often sufficient without changing the implant. In late infections, implant exchange is necessary because of biofilm.

January 2025
Cardiology Department, "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 2 Eftimie Murgu Sq., 300041 Timisoara, Romania.
True trifurcation disease of the left main coronary artery is a rare situation encountered in clinical practice. To date, there is no evidence for a standardized strategy of percutaneous coronary intervention in this type of lesion. This article describes a novel three-stent strategy using a combination of Triple-Kissing Balloon Crush in both of the side branches.

Children (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Phoniatrics and Pediatric Audiology, University Hospital Muenster, University of Muenster, 48149 Muenster, Germany.
Background: Parental satisfaction is an important factor in the evaluation of early intervention programs but is rarely investigated. The Muenster Parental Program (MPP) is a short, evidence-based early intervention program that focuses on parental responsiveness. It is a family-centered intervention for parents of infants aged 3-18 months who have recently been diagnosed with hearing loss and fitted with hearing devices, including prior to or following cochlear implant surgery.

J Prosthodont
January 2025
Department of Community Medicine and Health Care, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut, USA.
Purpose: The primary objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the survival outcomes of immediately loaded acrylic resin complete arch fixed implant-supported prosthesis (CAFIP) fabricated from the denture conversion protocol. The secondary objective was to evaluate the early implant survival outcomes associated with these prostheses.
Material And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to study the clinical outcomes data of immediately loaded conversion prostheses and immediately loaded implants.
Concentration of Povidone-Iodine Pocket Irrigation in Implant-Based Breast Surgery: A Scoping Review.
Aesthetic Plast Surg
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: In implant-based breast surgery, microbial contamination of implant surfaces predisposes complications such as overt periprosthetic infection and has been linked to capsular contracture (CC). Anti-microbial practices, including povidone-iodine (PVP-I) breast pocket irrigation, are routinely employed to minimise these risks. No standardised protocol for using this antiseptic exists, particularly concerning the ideal concentration.
