Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the retrieval time, efficiency, and loss of dentin volume after separated instrument retrieval using three different file retrieval systems in the middle and apical thirds of the mesio-buccal root of maxillary first molars.
Material And Methods: Sixty maxillary first molars were selected. Group 1: Endo Rescue Apex, Group 2: Ultrasound apex, Group 3: Broken instrument remover apex, Group 4: Endo Rescue Middle, Group 5: Ultrasound Middle, Group 6: Broken instrument Remover middle were used to retrieve the fractured reciprocating files from the root canals.
Results: The results showed that the BTR pen system was successful in removing the majority of the files, with success rates of 60%. The BTR-Pen system achieved a 30% success rate, successfully removing 3 separated instruments from the middle third under a dental operating microscope within the time span. According to the statistical analysis of the dentinal thickness lost during retrieval of separated reciprocating instruments, BTR pens showed less amount of dentine loss than the ultrasonic and Endo rescue.
Conclusion: The findings may guide further research on BTR's effectiveness in retrieving separated instruments, with additional clinical trials ongoing.

Myocardial T1 Mapping, Left Ventricular Parameters, and Cardiac Biomarkers in Wild-Type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy Before and After Tafamidis Treatment.

Background: To further elucidate the clinical implications of myocardial T1 mapping with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), we investigated the relationships of native myocardial T1 value (T1) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) with left ventricular (LV) parameters and cardiac biomarkers in ATTR-CM patients before and after tafamidis treatment.
Methods And Results: We studied wild-type ATTR-CM patients who underwent baseline CMR with LV cine and T1 mapping techniques. T1 and ECV were derived from averaged values of base-to-apex LV myocardium.

Biomechanical analysis of clear aligners for mandibular anterior teeth intrusion and its clinical application in the design of new aligner attachment.

Background: During the process of intruding the mandibular anterior teeth (MAT) with clear aligners (CA), the teeth are susceptible to undesigned buccal and lingual inclinations, leading to complications such as excessive alveolar bone resorption and root exposure that significantly compromise the treatment outcome. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the underlying causes and develop effective coping strategies.
Methods: We first statistically analyzed the clinical issues, then used FEA to explore their underlying mechanisms to guide the design of attachments in clinical practice.

Objective: To estimate the efficacy and perioperative morbidity of nonradical surgery (simple hysterectomy [SH] or cone biopsy [CB] plus pelvic lymphadenectomy [PLND] and to report pregnancy outcomes after CB.
Methods: Prospective international study with 3-year follow-up of patients with stage IA1 (lymphovascular space invasion-positive) to IB1 (≤2 cm) cervical cancer stratified by fertility preservation (CB) or none (SH) (both with PLND). Criteria included ≤10 mm stromal invasion and negative margins on loop electrosurgical excision procedure or CB.

Background: Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) presenting with Mesenchymal-epithelial transition exon 14 skipping mutation (MET ex14) have an unfavorable prognosis with traditional therapies. MET inhibitors have altered the therapeutic paradigm of NSCLC. MET ex14 skipping alteration is reported in 3-4% cases (N Engl J Med 383(10):944-957, 2020, Cancer Discov 5(8):842-9, 2015).
