Biomechanical comparison of three C2 subfacetal screw trajectories: a finite element analysis with reference to established posterior atlantoaxial fixation techniques

C2 subfacetal screw fixation has emerged as a crucial alternative for atlantoaxial instability when a high-riding vertebral artery (HRVA) precludes the use of conventional C2 pedicle screws. However, a comprehensive finite element analysis focusing on the biomechanical variances...

Wearable Electrochemical Sweat Sensors Beyond Snapshots With Long‐Term Stability

ABSTRACT Wearable sweat electrochemical sensors enable continuous and noninvasive monitoring of electrolytes, metabolites, and stress‐related biomarkers for personalized healthcare. However, the translation of these platforms from proof‐of‐concept prototypes to reliable clinical...

Effects of post drill specification, preparation depth and adjacent tooth status on the scanning trueness of post space: an in vitro study

Abstract Background The indication for direct intraoral scanning of post spaces should be guided by the post drill. This study evaluated the influence of drill specifications, preparation depth, and the presence or absence of bilateral adjacent teeth on the scanning trueness of p...

Machine learning-based prediction model for 2-year tooth loss risk in periodontitis patients: integrating radiographic features and clinical parameters

To develop and internally–externally validate a multidomain machine-learning (ML) model for 2-year tooth loss in periodontitis patients using exclusively baseline predictors, and to quantify the incremental value of radiographic over clinical features. This multicenter retrospect...

ATF7 drives diabetic wound healing via NOTCH1 repression and N1ICD-dependent macrophage polarization control

Chronic, non-healing wounds are a severe diabetic complication. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and the role of ATF7 in this context has not been well characterized. In our study, we utilized db/db diabetic mice and AAV-mediated keratinocyte-specific Atf7 over...

Severe adhesive probability score (SAPS): an imaging scoring system for predicting adherent perinephric fat in patients with infectious nonfunctional kidney

To identify and validate clinical and radiological predictors of perirenal fat adherence and develop a prediction model for perirenal fat adhesions in infectious nonfunctioning kidneys. A retrospective study was conducted on 277 patients who underwent robotic-assisted or laparosc...
