• Predictive factors in temporomandibular joint arthroscopy: a prospective cohort short-term outcome study

  Improving the outcomes of surgical treatment of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is beneficial from a patient and health-economy perspective. Optimizing conditions for a successful result can be reached using validated, strict diagnostic criteria and by identifying patient-specific factors predicting the outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate possible predictive factors in TMJ arthroscopy. A prospective cohort study including 93 patie

  This study investigated the association between hypoplastic condyles and disc displacements without reduction (DDw/oR). Consecutive patients with non-syndromic unilateral condylar hypoplasia were recruited and clinical, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were acquired. Linear measurements including condylar head width, depth, height and condyle length were determined with CBCT while MRI was used to asse

  Breast reconstruction constitutes a significant component of breast cancer treatment using surgical techniques aiming for the best oncological radicality while safeguarding the patient's psychophysical and feminine integrity. Despite the number of studies regarding breast cancer and the success of immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, little evaluation has been dedicated to its psychological 1 and psychosexual 2 impact.

  Abstract Background Airway ecology is altered in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Anti‐microbial interventions might have benefit in subgroups of airway disease. Differences in sputum microbial profiles at acute exacerbation of airways disease are reflected by the γProteobacteria:Firmicutes (γP:F) ratio. We hypothesised that sputum microbiomic clusters exist in stable airways disease, which can be differentiated by the

For example, in vitro proline and alanine scanning mutagenesis of Aβ40 proposed core regions important for aggregation. However, we lack even this limited mutagenesis data for the more disease-relevant Aβ42. Thus, to better understand the molecular determinants

  Nevi are benign melanocytic tumors, and some nevi are considered to develop into malignant melanomas. Most nevi arise in the skin, but nevi occasionally occur in the conjunctiva, esophageal mucosa, or at other sites. Pulmonary melanocytic nevi are extremely rare, and only one case has been reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of pulmonary melanocytic nevus, involving a BRAF gene mutation (V600E), and we discuss the potential signif
