AI Article Synopsis
- Older patients have a higher need for dental implants, but the study aimed to explore how their psychological traits affect implant success rates.
- The research involved 23 patients aged 65 and older, monitoring 56 implants over an average duration of just over 9 years, revealing a patient-level success rate of 69.6% and an implant-level success rate of 82.1%.
- Significant differences in implant success were linked to personality traits: adaptive traits were associated with lower odds of failure, while non-adaptive traits increased the risk of implant failure.
Article Abstract
Background/ Purpose: Older patients inevitably have a higher need for implant treatment, it is unknown how mental changes or psychological aspects affect the outcome of implant treatment. This study evaluated the success rate of implants and the influence of personality traits in the older people. The goal was to provide evidence for predictable implant treatment while taking into account the unique psychological changes of elders.
Materials And Methods: Participants were patients who were able to independently visit our hospital between March 2004 and May 2021. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 65 years or older at the time of implant placement with regular follow-up for at least 1 year. The implant success rate was calculated by counting peri-implantitis and implant loss as failures. Multivariate analysis was used to examine the effect of patient personality characteristics on the success rate.
Results: Fifty-six implants were included in 23 patients (12 men, 11 women), with a mean age of 68.5 years (65-76) and mean maintenance duration of 9 years and 2 months. The cumulative survival rate was 87% at the patient level (94.6% at the implant level). Statistically significant differences were found for adaptive traits (odds ratio [OR] = 0.04) and non-adaptive traits (OR = 6.38); however, no significant differences were found for the other independent variables.
Conclusion: The overall implant success rate was 69.6% at the patient level (82.1% at the implant level). The personality traits in older people had a significant effect on the implant failure rate.

Background: Atrial tachycardia (AT) originate from the atrial appendage present unique clinical challenges in pediatrics. It is typically persistent, frequently leading to tachycardiomyopathy, and poses significant treatment difficulties.
Objectives: This study aimed to collate and analyze the clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFCA) and with atrial appendage resection for the treatment of AT originating from the atrial appendages in pediatric patients.

Background: The sympathetic autonomic nervous system plays a major role in arrhythmia development and maintenance. Historical preclinical studies describe preferential increases in cardiac sympathetic tone upon selective stimulation of the subclavian ansae (SA), a nerve cord encircling the subclavian artery.
Objectives: This study sought to define, for the first time, the functional anatomy and physiology of the SA in humans using a percutaneous approach.
