The follow-up study reported covered two representative groups of epileptics: 289 known epileptics (group Z) and 82 cases found in a sample of general population in Warsaw (group T). During 2--3 years of follow-up the frequency of seizures has changed in 40% of cases: the percent of patients improved exceeding significantly that of patients with worsening or relapse. The remaing 60% of cases consisted of two almost equally numerous groups: patients with unchanged frequency of seizures and those free from seizures for years. Cases of milder epilepsy were underrepresented among the patients on medication but it is stressed that it was particularly difficult to obtain data on such cases (migrations, refusals). The frequency of relapses in the untreated group reached 10% in group Z and 5% in group. T. Many untreated epileptics continue to have epileptic seizures, usually rare.

Intermediate Atrial Tachycardia During Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Sub-analysis of the Extent-AF Trial.

Background: The evidence supporting additional linear ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) remains limited. This study investigates the mechanisms of intermediate atrial tachycardia (AT), a transient state between PerAF and sinus rhythm (SR), during PerAF termination by catheter ablation, and provides evidence for these mechanisms.
Methods: We analyzed 136 patients who converted to organized AT after PerAF termination in the Extent-AF study.
Long-Term Follow-Up of the S-ICD: A 10-Years Follow-Up Study of a Large Single Center Cohort.

Clinic for Cardiology II: Electrophysiology, University Hospital Münster, Münster, Germany.
Background: The subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to transvenous implantable defibrillators. The present analysis presents real-world data from patients with S-ICD and a follow-up duration of 10 years or more.
Methods And Results: Between July 2010 and November 2013 76 S-ICD systems were implanted.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the survival rate and the success rate of single tooth implants placed and restored immediately after extraction in non-infected, acutely infected, and chronically infected sites in the maxillary anterior area.
Material And Methods: Patients requiring single tooth replacement of a maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, and premolar regions were included in the study. Implant sites were divided into three groups based on the presence or absence of an infection: Group 1 (Control) non-infected sites (healthy periodontal and endodontic conditions); Group 2 (Test 1) acutely infected sites (presence of a periodontal or endodontic or combined abscess and/or fistula); Group 3 (Test 2) chronically infected sites ( presence of a periodontal pocket or a periapical lesion with no signs of acute inflamation).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) on soft tissue volume and aesthetics around implants placed in aesthetically important areas over a 4-year period.
Materials And Methods: A total of 42 participants were divided into groups: implant+CTG (n=20) and implant only (n=22) and evaluated after 48 months using various clinical and radiographic parameters, professional aesthetic assessment, patient-centered aesthetic evaluation, and quality of life improvement measured by OHIP-14 at 12 and 48 months.
Results: Eight patients were lost to follow-up, leaving 34 patients for evaluation.
Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a radiological and clinical evaluation of patients who underwent fixed rehabilitation involving subperiosteal implants and to define not only the criteria for failure but also the criteria for survival and success.
Materials And Methods: Patients suffering from severe atrophy of the maxilla and/or mandible underwent immediate loading with fixed full-arch prostheses supported by custom-made 3D-printed subperiosteal implants. The evaluated outcomes included the success and survival rates of subperiosteal implant prosthetic therapy, surgical complications, and the three-dimensional positions of osteosynthesis screws and sleeves used for implant adhesion to the bone.
