Developing noninvasive tools that determine implant attachment strength to bone and monitor implant stability over time will be important to optimize rehabilitation protocols following insertion of osseointegrated implants in patients with limb loss. While resonance frequency has been previously shown to correlate with implant stability in dental implants placed in the mandible and maxilla, this tool has not been evaluated with implants placed in the medullary canal of long bones. In an in vitro model used to simulate irregular medullary canal implant contact and osseointegration, a strong positive correlation was determined between resonance frequency implant stability quotient values and the force required for implant pushout. The force required for implant displacement also correlated to the distance from the point of fixation to the transducer at the proximal end of the implant (point of resonance frequency monitoring).

Objective: This study aimed to describe the MRI features of lower limbs (thighs and calves) in patients with anti-NXP2 antibody positive myositis, and explore their relationship with clinical manifestations and prognosis.
Methods: Adult patients with anti-NXP2 antibody who underwent both thigh and calf MRI examinations simultaneously were enrolled between 2017 and 2023. The MRI features and medical records of patients were reviewed.

Background: Four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4D-MRI) holds great promise for precise abdominal radiotherapy guidance. However, current 4D-MRI methods are limited by an inherent trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions, resulting in compromised image quality characterized by low spatial resolution and significant motion artifacts, hindering clinical implementation. Despite recent advancements, existing methods inadequately exploit redundant frame information and struggle to restore structural details from highly undersampled acquisitions.

Understanding gastric physiology in rodents is critical for advancing preclinical neurogastroenterology research. However, existing techniques are often invasive, terminal, or limited in resolution. This study aims to develop a non-invasive, standardized MRI protocol capable of capturing whole-stomach dynamics in anesthetized rats with high spatiotemporal resolution.

Patients And Methods: In this multicenter longitudinal study, data from the Spanish Register in AS (AEU-PIEM/2014/0001) were reviewed. The study focused on a cohort of AS patients registered between 2014 and 2019, featuring open inclusion criteria and diverse follow-up strategies.
Results: A total of 3315 AS patients were recruited, with 2881 and 434 categorized into the low and intermediate risk groups based on NCCN grouping at inclusion.

Background: Cerebellar pathologies in adults can have a wide range of hereditary, acquired and sporadic-degenerative causes. Due to the frequency in daily hospital, especially intensive care, settings, electrolyte imbalances are an important, yet rare differential diagnosis. The hypomagnesemia-induced cerebellar syndrome (HiCS) constitutes a relevant disease entity with clinical and morphological variability due to a potential progression of symptoms and a promising causal treatment.
