Background/purpose: The maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) technique is frequently used for the preparation of implant sites in the maxillary region. The aim of this study was to investigate the 10-year outcome of dental implants placed in a grafted maxillary sinus, and identify possible risk factors for implant failure.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 202 implants after MSFA in 97 patients from January 2008 to April 2009. The outcome variables were 1) 10-year cumulative survival rate of the implant, 2) risk factors for implant failure, and 3) correlation between preoperative residual bone height (RBH) and graft materials in terms of implant survival. Graft materials used were divided into five different groups: autogenic, allogenic, xenogenic, combination of allogenic and xenogenic, or combination of autogenic and xenogenic graft.
Results: The cumulative 10-year survival rate for the implants was 96.04%. In regions with a residual bone height of 5.0 mm and less, greater RBH was preferable for long-term implant survival (odds ratio = 3.475; p = 0.035). Implant survival was not significantly different with different graft materials, even when RBH was unfavorable.
Conclusion: The placement of dental implants with MSFA is a reliable procedure. Further, RBH is an important predictor of long-term implant survival.

Statement Of Problem: Despite high survival rates of implant-supported single crowns, retention loss remains common and decementation of crowns can compromise long-term stability, patient satisfaction, and treatment costs. Limited long-term evidence on cement type, abutment design, and materials requires further research to optimize clinical outcomes.
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to analyze the survival and decementation rates of zirconia and metal-ceramic implant-supported crowns in combination with different abutments (prefabricated or custom and unabraded or airborne-particle abraded).

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is among the most prevalent human malignancies globally, with approximately 887,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Currently, the standard treatment for HNSCC involves surgery, followed by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, despite these available treatments, the survival rate of patients with HNSCC remains low.

Background: Previous trials have demonstrated increased 5-year risks for adverse clinical events after coronary artery implantation of poly-l-lactic acid-based bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) compared with cobalt chromium (CoCr) everolimus-eluting stents (EES).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year clinical outcomes of the novel sirolimus-eluting NeoVas BRS compared with CoCr EES.
Methods: A total of 560 patients with single de novo native coronary artery lesions with reference vessel diameter 2.

Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is increasingly performed in older adults, but literature has reported divergent outcomes in very old populations.
Objective: To investigate the impact of patient age on TLE outcomes, with an emphasis on older patients.
Methods: Using the ExTRACT registry, the largest TLE registry to date, we analyzed 5,090 patients who underwent TLE between August 1996-2022 at the Cleveland Clinic, a high-volume center.

Introduction: Goals of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy includes low rates of right ventricular failure (RVF) and favorable survival outcomes. However, conventional metrics often fail to capture its physiologic complexity. We evaluated the prognostic utility of the Active Cardiac Index (ActCI) and Passive Cardiac Index (PasCI)-which reflect cardiac output driven by active RV contractility and passive venous return, respectively.
