Optimal Lymphadenectomy of the Mesopancreas Based on Fluorescence Imaging During Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Abstract Background Excision of the mesopancreas with lymphadenectomy is an important component of pancreatoduodenectomy. However, the optimal extent of lymphadenectomy remains unclear. Furthermore, accurate description of the mesopancreatic lymphatic pathways is difficult, probably because of the complex anatomy. Intestinal derotation simplifies the anatomy and facilitates both examination of lymphatic flow and the surgical procedure....

The public perception of the differences between specialist orthodontists and general dentists: A comparison between Australia and Sweden
In Australia and Sweden, orthodontic treatments may be performed by either a general dental practitioner (GDP) or a specialist orthodontist. Evidence suggests that the public may easily confuse a GDP who provides orthodontic treatment with a specialist orthodontist. We conducted a survey of people in Australia and Sweden to assess their understanding of the differences between a specialist orthodontist and a GDP who provides orthodontic treatments.

Outcomes of orthodontic treatment performed by individual orthodontists vs 2 orthodontists collaborating on treatment
One factor that can affect treatment outcomes is the treatment provider, and this factor has not been extensively studied. This research aimed to evaluate orthodontic treatment quality, length, and efficiency when 2 orthodontists collaborated on treatment, compared with the treatment provided solely by either orthodontist.

Planning for Future Pandemics Including Smallpox Outbreaks: Interview with Dr. Phil Gomez, CEO, SIGA Technologies
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant global consequences, with healthcare systems stretched to their limits, a growing death toll, and economic devastation as economies came grinding to a halt. The pandemic and its aftereffects will be with us for some time to come, but this isn’t the first pandemic humanity has weathered, and it won’t be the last. Given accelerating advances in medical technology, there is plenty to discuss in terms of how we can be better prepared for the next infectious...

Microfluidic Test for Viral Antibodies Takes Just 20 Minutes
Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have developed a microfluidic test that can detect antibodies against a viral infection. So far, the test has been optimized to detect avian flu, but could be adapted to detect antibodies against the virus causing COVID-19. The device can provide a result in as little as 20 minutes and requires only 2 microliters of serum to run. Antibody tests have been proposed as a way to determine how many people have been exposed to COVID-19, and may help...

Quick Urine Test for Metabolic Precursors of Kidney Stones
Researchers from Penn State and Stanford University have developed a 30-minute urine test to measure levels of substances that can contribute to kidney stone formation. The test could help patients to find out if they are prone to developing kidney stones or to monitor their progress in avoiding kidney stone formation through treatment or dietary changes. Kidney stones are accumulations of crystallized substances such as minerals and salts, and the stones can cause pain and blockages...

Exosomes: Potential Therapies for Disease via Regulating TLRs
Exosomes are small membrane vesicles that retain various substances such as proteins, nucleic acids, and small RNAs. Exosomes play crucial roles in many physiological and pathological processes, including innate immunity. Innate immunity is an important process that protects the organism through activating pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which then can induce inflammatory factors to resist pathogen invasion. Toll-like receptor (TLR) is one member of PRRs and is important in pathogen clearance...

Role of Colchicine Treatment in Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS): Real-Life Data from the AIDA Network
Objective. To analyze the potential role of colchicine monotherapy in patients with tumor necrosis factor receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) in terms of control of clinical and laboratory manifestations. Methods. Patients with TRAPS treated with colchicine monotherapy were retrospectively enrolled; demographic, clinical and therapeutic data were collected and statistically analysed after having clustered patients according to different times at disease onset, penetrance of mutations, dosage...

Which is the most suitable local anaesthetic when inferior nerve blocks are used for impacted mandibular third molar extraction? A network meta-analysis
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of the different local anaesthetic agents for the extraction of impacted lower third molars. A network meta-analysis was performed of all published reports of randomized controlled clinical trials assessing efficacy (anaesthetic success and absence of need for supplementary anaesthesia during the surgical procedure) and/or safety (number of adverse events) of anaesthetic agents. Three electronic databases were searched, from their earliest...

Combination therapy of heparin-bonded covered stent and bare-nitinol stent assessed by intravascular ultrasound
Abstract To examine clinical outcomes for combination therapy of heparin-bonded covered stent [VIABAHN™ stent (VIA)] and bare-nitinol stent (BNS), and to determine independent predictors of restenosis after VIA implantation assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). A retrospective analysis was conducted on VIA use in the femoropopliteal artery of 71 patients (81 lesions) treated between June 2012 and November 2018. We divided the treated lesions into two groups; that is, whether...

Intra-abdominal pressure and its relationship with markers of congestion in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure
Abstract Systemic congestion is one of the mechanisms involved in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), elicited by abdominal congestion, has been related to acute kidney injury and prognosis. Nonetheless, the link between diuretic response, surrogate markers of congestion and renal function remains poorly understood. We measured IAP in 43 patients from a non-interventional, exploratory, prospective, single center study carried out...

Implant-supported oral rehabilitation in oncology patients: a retrospective cohort study
Oral rehabilitation after treatment for head and neck cancer can be challenging. Implant-supported rehabilitation can considerably improve oral health-related quality of life, but there is a dearth of contemporary evidence of reported outcomes and trends in this cohort. In this study we retrospectively investigated the outcomes of 115 patients (376 dental implants) with a mean (range) follow up of 3.91(0.11-12.76) years. We considered survival of the implants, percentage of those used for prosthetic...

Fibrous dysplasia limited to an ossicle
Fibrous dysplasia is an unusual pathologic condition caused by abnormal bone metabolism. Temporal bone involvement is often seen, but it is uncommon to find fibrous dysplasia limited to the middle ear, especially originating in and confined to a single ossicle. Here we report a case of osteofibrous dysplasia limited exclusively to an ossicle (malleus) causing gradual conductive hearing loss, which recovered after eventual complete removal of the dysplastic area. The lesion showed firm attachment...
