Digital workflow for implant-supported restorations in the mandible including reverse scan bodies: a feasibility study

Abstract Background Completely edentulous mandibles present a challenge for accurate intraoral scanning, which can compromise the passive fit of implant-supported restorations. Reverse scan bodies may improve the accuracy of implant position transfer and support a fully digital w...

Optical Detuning Strategies for Shielded Loop Resonators

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare detuning performance and evaluate power requirements of optical detuning methods and to demonstrate feasibility of an optically‐detuned 4‐channel receive array. Methods Four optical detuning methods were compared in simulations, bench tests, and phanto...

Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Dynamics, Disease Progression, and Therapy Response in Multiple Sclerosis

Importance: Capturing individual multiple sclerosis (MS) progression is difficult; few studies have evaluated glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in large longitudinal cohorts with independent validation. Objective: To investigate whether serum GFAP levels and treatment-relate...

Accelerating Translation of NK Cell Therapies to the Clinic: A European Perspective

Adoptive immunotherapies have emerged as a promising strategy in the treatment of hematological malignancies. To date, seven chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell products have obtained market authorization in Europe for B-cell malignancies, where they have revolutionized treatm...

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study is to evaluate how minced cartilage implantation (MCI) is currently applied in clinical settings, focusing on the selection criteria, procedural execution, handling of concomitant joint pathologies, and postoperative management. MATERIAL...

Repeated Renal Interventions for Renal Cell Carcinoma in von Hippel-Lindau Disease: Long-Term Outcomes

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a hereditary cancer syndrome frequently associated with recurrent renal cell carcinoma (RCC), often requiring multiple renal interventions. Data on the timing and outcomes of repeated renal procedures remain limited. This study aimed to characte...
