Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The objective of this study was to quantify the rates of complication following surgical treatment for symptomatic degenerative and isthmic spondylolisthesis and to examine the association between slip reduction and complication rates.
Summary Of Background Data: It is unclear if the degree of spondylolisthesis reduction during lumbar spine fusion in adults influences the rate of surgical complications.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 1-level and 2-level adult fusion patients with degenerative or isthmic spondylolisthesis. The degree of reduction and complications were calculated, and complication rates between those with and without reduction were compared.
Results: The surgical reduction was improved by 1 Meyerding grade in 56.5% of the 140 patients included in this analysis. Of those patients, 60% had a grade 1 spondylolisthesis. In addition, 62.5% of grade 2 slips had an improvement by 1 grade. Surgical reduction during lumbar fusion did not result in a higher rate of complications compared with in situ fusion.
Conclusions: During 1-level or 2-level lumbar fusion for degenerative or isthmic spondylolisthesis, a 1-grade reduction of the slip was achieved in 56% of patients in this retrospective case series. Reduction of the spondylolisthesis was not associated with a higher rate of complication when compared with in situ fusion.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV.

Objective: To evaluate the possible additional clinical benefit from autologous platelet concentrate (APC) treatment adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).
Methods: Electronic (MEDLINE/Embase/Cochrane/MedNar/CORE) and hand searches were conducted. Following studies selection, evidence tables were formed, and meta-analyses were performed for the following outcomes: probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction, clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, and bleeding on probing (BoP) reduction.

Department of Clinical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Backgrounds And Aims: Submental skin laxity (SSL), manifesting as sagging skin and double chin, can significantly affect patients' self-perception and social interactions. While surgical treatments exist, non-invasive methods are increasingly sought for their minimal recovery time. This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of a novel microwave-based device for treating SSL, aiming to provide long-term improvements in skin tightness and appearance.

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established risk factor for postoperative complications. Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common orthopedic injury and often require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The rise of ORIF utilization warrants investigation into factors that may expose patients to postoperative complications following DRF ORIF.

Objectives: This study analyzed the differences in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion with and without mandibular deviation, and further investigated whether there are differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation, and 15 patients without mandibular deviation were selected to explore the impact of mandibular deviation on the upper airway. Additionally, 16 patients with mandibular deviation undergoing orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment, and 13 patients without mandibular deviation, were selected to investigate the differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
