Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the results of indirect sinus augmentation with and without the addition of a biomaterial.
Materials And Methods: Thirty patients aged 40 to 60 years participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial. After closed sinus lift operation, patients were randomly and equally divided into blood clot control and acemannan sponge graft groups. Simultaneous implant placement was then performed. Cone beam computed tomography was performed immediately and at 3 and 6 months postoperation. Bone formation was evaluated by the radiographic endo-sinus bone gain percentage around the implant.
Results: Compared with the control group, the acemannan-treated group had a significantly greater radiographic endo-sinus bone gain percentage of approximately 2.4- and 2-fold at 3 and 6 months postsurgery, respectively (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The addition of a biomaterial (Acemannan) with indirect sinus augmentation and simultaneous implant placement significantly enhances bone formation at 3 and 6 months postsurgery.

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) are indirect or direct vascular shunts between vessels of the cavernous sinus and the carotid artery. While indirect CCFs have high rates of spontaneous resolution, direct CCF cases can result in significant orbital and neurological sequelae. This case describes a 75-year-old male patient presenting with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to a Barrow type-D CCF.

Objective: This study investigates the link between circulating proteins and rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and their association with cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods And Results: We analyzed 197 HFrEF patients from the prospective Serial Biomarker Measurements and New Echocardiographic Techniques in Chronic Heart Failure Patients Result in Tailored Prediction of Prognosis (Bio-SHiFT) study, all in sinus rhythm at baseline. Baseline QTc intervals were calculated and corrected for broad QRS complexes (>120 ms) using Bogossian's formula.

Background: Excess mortality provides a comprehensive measure to assess the true impact of the disease on mortality rates. This study aimed to quantify excess mortality attributable to COVID-19 in northeastern Iran during the pandemic period (2020-2022).
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study utilized population and mortality data extracted from electronic systems linked to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS).

This article describes a case of indirect sinus lift augmentation using autogenous trephine alveolar bone cores and simultaneous placement of dental implants in a highly resorbed posterior maxillary region. In comparison to the direct sinus lift approach, the procedure described in this case report is less invasive, results in reduced treatment time, and yields a more predictable outcome. This procedure involves a mucosal incision followed by surgical exposure of the alveolar bone, and then using a trephine drill to create a bone trephine core.
