Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the long-term efficacy of four steps of operation on the treatment of maxillary sinus (MS) inverted papilloma (IP).
Methods: 83 patients who were diagnosed with IP that originated from the MS, underwent four step procedure of attachment sites, including mucosal stripping, periosteum ablation, bone drilling and bone ablation and had postoperative follow-up of 3 years were enrolled.
Results: Of the 83 patients, 59 (71.1%) patients were primary surgery and revision surgery in 24 (28.9%), single attachment was in 31(37.3%) patients and multifocal attachments in 52 (62.7%).When the numbers were not mutually exclusive, the most common origin sites of IPs were the medial wall in 54 (37.2%), lateral wall in 29 (20.0%), anterior wall in 18 (12.4%), inferior wall in 22 (15.2%), posterior in 15 (10.3%), and superior wall in 7 (4.8%). Large MMA alone was performed in 5 (6.0%), MMA combined with medial maxillectomy 76 (91.6%), and MMA combined with Caldwell-Luc approach in 2 (2.4%). No major intra- or postoperative complications were observed. The average follow-up was 41 months (range, 37-61 months). CT and endoscope showed that tumor and symptom recurrence occurred in 2 patients (2.41%). In addition, although the opening of antrostomy was closed and CT revealed the uniform soft tissue shadow and hyperostosis of MS in 11(13.3%) patients, they didn't report any symptoms and showed well epithelization of middle meatus mucosa.
Conclusion: The four steps of operations of attachment sites of MS IP, including mucosal stripping, periosteum ablation, bone drilling and bone ablation, may effectively prevent the recurrence of MS IP.

Background: Wearable activity-measurement devices are increasingly popular among the public, but there is little information regarding their use among patients undergoing sports medicine procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare accelerometer-measured data with traditional patient-reported measures and to determine the trajectory of physical activity from before surgery to 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: Adult patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective cohort pilot study.

Objectives: The objective is to compare the learning curves between two pioneer and three second-generation surgeons for RAPN in terms of WIT, CD and positive surgical margins.
Materials And Methods: The charts of consecutive RAPNs of three centres were reviewed from the UroCCR prospective database. The experience was assessed by a regression model for each group.

We propose a generic, modular framework to optimize the placement of point-in-space continuous monitoring system sensors on oil and gas sites aiming to maximize the methane emission detection efficiency. Our proposed framework substantially expands the problem scale compared to previous related studies and can be adapted for different objectives in sensor placement. This optimization framework is comprised of five steps: (1) simulate emission scenarios using site-specific wind and emission information; (2) set possible sensor locations under consideration of the site layout and any site-specific constraints; (3) simulate methane concentrations for each pair of emission scenario and possible sensor location; (4) determine emissions detection based on the site-specific simulated concentrations; and (5) select the best subset of sensor locations, under a given number of sensors to place, using genetic algorithms combined with Pareto optimization.

Background: Aim of the present paper is to report the preliminary results of CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design - Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology application to distal femur nonunion treatment with free fibula flap, custom made medial plating and maintenance of a stable lateral locking plate.
Methods: Two cases of distal femur nonunion that occurred after lateral locking plating were treated and prospectively followed-up. Surgical planning followed the same preoperative protocol adopted for mandibular CAD-CAM reconstruction.
