Aims: The objective of this study was to compare bone invasion type with histopathological, clinical and immunohistochemical prognostic factors.
Methods: The study included 49 patients who were treated for oral squamous cell carcinoma. Of which, 30 patients, with presence of bone invasion on histopathology, were divided according to the type of bone invasion (erosive, infiltrative, mixed). Each invasion type was compared to microvascular density using the CD34 marker.
Results: The bone invasion was observed in 30 out of 49 patients (61.22%). On McNemar's test, statistically significant association was observed between bone invasion types and histopathological grade. In contrast, no significant correlation was observed between bone invasion type, and tumour volume or nodal metastases. In tumours with bone invasion of the infiltrative type, higher frequency of locoregional relapses was observed. The 5-year survival, since diagnosis, was approximately 60% in the erosive group, 40% in the mixed group, and merely 15% in the infiltrative group.
Conclusion: Peritumoural microvascular density was not significantly related to bone invasion types. Whereas, a significantly higher intratumoural microvascular density was observed in infiltrative type of the bone invasion, when compared to the erosive and mixed type.

Background And Objective: A safe working trajectory is mandatory for spinal pathologies, especially in the midline, anterior to the spinal cord. For thoracic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, we developed a minimally invasive keyhole fenestration. This study investigates the necessary bone removal for sufficient exposure of different leak types particularly regarding weight-bearing structures.

Background: Surgical methods of gingival depigmentation can be challenging, particularly if the gingival phenotype is thin due to the risk of gingival recession and bone exposure. Thus, exploring alternative, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment modalities is warranted. In dermatology, vitamin C is extensively used for depigmentation and microneedling for collagen induction, with limited literature about its usage for improving gingival esthetics.

Bone turnover assessment and monitoring are essential for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated bone care. Patients with CKD suffer from significantly elevated fracture risk due to abnormally high or low bone turnover, which requires diametrically opposite treatments informed by patient-specific bone turnover data. However, a reliable, accessible, non-invasive bone turnover assessment and monitoring tool remains an unmet clinical need.

Background: Preservation rhinoplasty, particularly dorsal preservation, has gained prominence with the advent of piezoelectric instruments, which minimize trauma and enhance precision in bone reshaping. This approach presents unique challenges, especially in closed techniques, where spatial limitations complicate the use of piezotomes.
Objectives: To evaluate outcomes of piezo-assisted preservation rhinoplasty using specialized instrumentation to enhance visibility, precision, and postoperative recovery in closed rhinoplasty procedures.
