Impact of Insulin Resistance on Retinal Ganglion Cell Layer Structures: Findings from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Background/Objectives: Hyperinsulinaemia reflects compensatory systemic insulin resistance and may indicate early metabolic–vascular dysregulation. We investigated associations between insulin dysregulation and the retinal neuronal structure, particularly ganglion cell layer (GCL...

Dimensional Changes of the Peri‐Implant Mucosa Applying a Suture‐Free Wound Closure Using a Healing Abutment Attachment: A Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial

ABSTRACT Aim To compare peri‐implant soft‐tissue dimensional changes following wound closure using a suture‐free healing abutment attachment (HAA) compared to conventional suturing during implant surgery. Materials and Methods Thirty patients who were randomly allocated to the HA...

Combined Ramp Lesion and Lateral Meniscus Root Tear Increase Rotational and Translational Instability in an Anterior Cruciate Ligament‐Deficient Knee: A Cadaveric Study

Purpose To evaluate knee instability associated with combined ramp lesion and lateral meniscus posterior root tear (LMRT) in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)‐deficient knee (the new terrible triad). Methods Ten cadaveric knees were tested biomechanically. Internal rotation (IR...
