Objectives: To compare esthetics at single immediately placed implants with and without soft tissue augmentation.
Materials And Methods: Patients with non-restorable maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone were assigned into 2 groups: immediately placed implants with simultaneous vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue grafting (VIP-CTG) or non-grafted immediately placed implants (NG). The outcomes included: pink esthetic score (PES), gingival thickness, keratinized tissue width, buccal bone changes, marginal bone loss, pain, and satisfaction.
Results: Eighteen implants were included. At 2 years the mean value for PES was 12 ± 3.2 for the VIP-CTG and 12.9 ± 1.3 for the NG (p = .855). Mucosal thickness and keratinized tissue width showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = .253) and (p = .931) respectively. Clinically buccal bone showed mean bone loss of 2.03 ± 1.57 mm for VIP-CTG and 1.09 ± 1.3 mm for NG (p = .247) and radiographically showed 1.67 ± 0.84 mm at the VIP-CTG and 1.16 ± 0.47 mm at the NG (p = .118). No statistically significant difference between both groups was demonstrated regarding marginal bone level changes (p = .142), pain (p = .622), or satisfaction (p = .562) at any time point.
Conclusion: Simultaneous soft tissue grafting with immediate implant placement did not provide a more favorable outcome regarding esthetics or alveolar bone preservation effect. Undisturbed healing with the least surgical intervention seems to provide more favorable outcomes.

Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is currently the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. In cases where the DIEP is contraindicated, the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap is now the preferred second-line option in our institution. The PAP flap poses unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon, especially in Asian women with low body mass index (BMI).

There is an increasing demand for a suitable bone substitute to replace current clinical gold standard autografts or allografts. Majority of previous studies have focused on the early effects of substitutes on bone formation, while information on their long-term efficacies remains limited. This study investigated the efficacies of natural hydroxyapatite (nHA) derived from oyster shells and synthetic hydroxyapatite mixed with collagen (COL/HA) or chitosan (CS/HA) on bone regeneration and implant fixation in sheep.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes and complications associated with the use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in deceased donor kidney transplantation (KTX), with a particular focus on bleeding events.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 157 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) who underwent KTX at Charité Berlin, Department for Urology, between February 2014 and December 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with ASA in their preoperative medication (Group A, n = 59) and patients without ASA use (Group B, n = 98).

Background: Microglia are key players in Alzheimer's disease (AD): Genetic risk for AD is enriched in microglial enhancers, and microglial gene regulatory networks have been shown to be disrupted in AD. Here, we studied polygenic and variant-specific (APOE) risk burden for AD in a xenotransplantation model of AD and human post-mortem brain tissue.
Method: We profiled gene regulation by RNA-seq and ATAC-seq in human iPS-derived microglia, xenotransplanted into the APPNL-G-F mouse model of AD.
