Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the impact of titanium (Ti) base-supported single-implant restorations on peri-implant conditions.
Materials And Methods: Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 274 implants met the inclusion criteria and were chosen for data analysis. A random-effects model was employed for the meta-analysis.
Results: Data from this study revealed that the Ti-basegroup exhibited a small but statistically significant increase in peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL; mean difference = 0.088 mm; 95% CI = 0.003 to 0.17; P = .041) compared to the one-piece abutment group. These effects were consistent in the subgroup analysis of regularly threaded implants compared to the microthreaded subgroup. No significant differences were observed between the Ti-base group and the abutment group concerning probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BoP), and the risk of prosthetic-related complications.
Conclusions: The use of a Ti-base in a single implant-supported restorationis associated with a slight increase in peri-implant MBL, while other peri-implant health parameters show no significant correlation. Therefore, the evidence of the impact that Ti-bases have on the peri-implant conditions of single implant-supported restorations is insufficient based on the findings of the present meta-analysis.

This systematic review aimed to identify and describe best practice for the intraoperative anesthetic management of patients undergoing emergent/urgent decompressive craniotomy or craniectomy for any indication. The PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles related to urgent/emergent craniotomy/craniectomy for intracranial hypertension or brain herniation. Only articles focusing on intraoperative anesthetic management were included; those investigating surgical or intensive care unit management were excluded.

Aims: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the safety and effectiveness of beta antagonists for improving clinical care in burn patients, compared to placebo.
Methods: Articles from randomized-controlled trials were identified by a literature search on PubMed and Cochrane. We included relevant trials involving patients with burn.
Background & Aims: This systematic literature review of qualitative findings aims to identify the perceived barriers and enablers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance from patient and clinician perspectives.
Methods: A systematic search of databases using key term combinations with the following inclusion criteria: 1) qualitative and quantitative (survey) studies exploring barriers and enablers of HCC surveillance, and 2) qualitative and quantitative (survey) studies exploring barriers and enablers of enagagement in clinical care for patients with cirrhosis and/or viral hepatitis.
Results: The search returned 445 citations: 371 did not meet the study criteria and were excluded.
