Clinical Outcomes of Fixed Dental Prostheses Supported by Teeth or Implants in the Posterior Region—A Long‐Term Retrospective Multicenter Study

BACKGROUND: Few long-term studies compare tooth- and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) in the posterior region. OBJECTIVES: To compare the 5- and 10-year survival and complication outcomes of tooth- and implant-supported FDPs and to assess patient-reported effects....

Comparison of the Alvarado Score with Alternative Diagnostic Tools in Pediatric Acute Appendicitis: A Literature Review

Background: Acute appendicitis is a leading pediatric surgical emergency. Timely diagnosis remains challenging, particularly in young children with atypical presentations. Clinical evaluation alone yields variable diagnostic performance, prompting the use of risk stratification t...

Contrast-enhanced high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging for predicting recanalization in non-acute middle cerebral artery occlusion

The potential predictive value of contrast-enhanced high-resolution magnetic resonance-vessel wall imaging (MR-VWI) for endovascular recanalization in patients with non-acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion remains unclear. We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients...

Association between perioperative D-dimer dynamics and post-treatment localized intravascular coagulation in venous malformations

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the change in D-dimer levels (ΔD-dimer) and the development of localized intravascular coagulation (LIC) following surgical intervention in patients with venous malformations. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 267...
