218 implants were targeted for inclusion in the current investigation. In the initial assessment, the implants’ cumulative survival rate was observed to be 97.25% before the definitive prosthesis was fitted. The survival rate decreased to 96.33% during the 3-year follow-up period and further to 95.32% after more than three years. At time points T1…[Read more]

Determining the mechanisms of syrinx formation and dilation is a challenge. Our investigation focused on the role of ependymal cells within the central canal, aiming to curb syrinx expansion and canal enlargement.

Seventy-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with syringomyelia were utilized to evaluate the contribution of ependymal cells to central…[Read more]

Fluorine’s extreme reactivity is directly correlated to its exceptionally high electronegativity, reaching a value of 398. To enhance material properties, anionic doping provides a valuable methodology, different from the cationic doping method. Catalysis and rechargeable ion batteries are fields where many materials face practical application…[Read more]

Among the 496 participants (median age 660 years; 59% male), 186 unfortunately succumbed during the follow-up period, resulting in an incident rate of 620 per 1000 person-years. A reduced risk of death was observed in patients presenting with moderate RGCs (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.66; 95% confidence intervals [CIs] = 0.46-0.94) and high RGCs (hazard…[Read more]

Our research indicated an association between patient and caregiver variables and the progression of BPSD symptoms. A case manager-led dementia collaborative care approach yields positive outcomes in the treatment of BPSD. Considering the potential benefits, healthcare systems could implement a case management model in clinical dementia care…[Read more]

This article, included in the Research Topic ‘Health Systems Recovery in the Context of COVID-19 and Protracted Conflict,’ delves into the widespread adoption of health systems resilience as nations strive to rebuild in the wake of crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, war and conflict, natural disasters, and economic struggles. However, the…[Read more]

To ascertain occurrences of post-Fontan VA (nonsustained ventricular tachycardia exceeding 4 beats or sustained ventricular tachycardia lasting longer than 30 seconds), medical records of Fontan patients seen at a single medical center spanning from 2002 to 2019 were evaluated. Individuals characterized by pre-Fontan vascular variations were not…[Read more]

The study cohort, comprising 416 EDIC participants, had a median age of 60 years (range 44-74), and 87 (21%) individuals were older than 65 years of age. The median duration of diabetes was 37 years (range 30-51). EDIC participants’ brain age values were markedly greater than those of control participants without diabetes, suggesting a difference…[Read more]
