The effectiveness of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been proven, but anatomical limitations, including narrow access route, may obstruct procedure of EVAR and cause serious complications. Parallel placement of Excluder legs (W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., Newark, DE, USA) was established to treat patients with type IIIb endoleak or those with a narrow aorta, who could not be treated using a standard main body. In this report, we applied this technique in two patients with aortoiliac aneurysms with occlusive lesion.

Socket Sealing Using Free Gingival Grafts: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Dent J (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Medical University of Varna, 9002 Varna, Bulgaria.

Post-extraction ridge resorption is an inevitable phenomenon that cannot be eliminated but is significantly reduced using additional surgical techniques known as socket preservation. They aim to create favorable conditions for implant placement and prosthetic restoration. This study aims to assess the effect of socket sealing (SS) with free gingival grafts on the vertical resorption of socket walls at the premolar and molar regions over 3 months.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of video-assisted self-assessment on nursing students' knowledge and skills in nasogastric catheter (NGS) insertion.

Background: Psychomotor skills are critical in nursing education, but traditional teaching methods often limit students' practice opportunities. Video-assisted learning, especially self-assessment, is an innovative approach for enhancing clinical competencies, yet its use specifically for nursing skill development is under-researched.

Purpose: Cochlear implants (CI) are the most successful bioprosthesis in medicine probably due to the tonotopic anatomy of the auditory pathway and of course the brain plasticity. Correct placement of the CI arrays, respecting the inner ear anatomy are therefore important. The ideal trajectory to insert a cochlear implant array is defined by an entrance through the round window membrane and continues as long as possible parallel to the basal turn of the cochlea.

Background And Aims: Resolving the phylogeny of hornworts is critical in understanding the evolution of key morphological characters that are unique to the group, including the pyrenoid. Extensive phylogenomic analyses have revealed unexpected complexities in the placement of Leiosporoceros, the previously identified sister taxon to other hornworts. We explore the role of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and ancient reticulation in resolving interrelationships and comprehending the diversification and evolutionary processes within hornworts.

Automatic positioning of cutting planes for bone tumor resection surgery.

Med Biol Eng Comput

January 2025

Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Florence, Via Di Santa Marta 3, 50139, Florence, Italy.

In bone tumor resection surgery, patient-specific cutting guides aid the surgeon in the resection of a precise part of the bone. Despite the use of automation methodologies in surgical guide modeling, to date, the placement of cutting planes is a manual task. This work presents an algorithm for the automatic positioning of cutting planes to reduce healthy bone resected and thus improve post-operative outcomes.
