CONCLUSION: Fully guided implant surgery outperformed other techniques in accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. These findings support fully guided, prosthetically driven workflows as a preferred option for partially edentulous patients, particularly in cases requiring high precision. →

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the use of PEth as an objective measure of heavy drinking days in a clinical setting. Further research is needed to validate these findings in larger cohorts. →

This randomized controlled trial evaluates an innovative interdisciplinary teaching model co-led by radiologists and vascular surgeons within China’s standardized residency training program. Forty trainees were randomized into two groups: one receiving collaborative teaching, which included joint lectures, radiologist-attended ward rounds, and interdisciplinary case conferences; and the other undergoing traditional vascular single-discipline training. The experimental group… →

CONCLUSION: PPV caused an early postoperative decrease in choroidal perfusion, which was significant in the cold irrigation group. However, there was no significant difference between cooled and room-temperature irrigation solutions. →

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is an underrecognized manifestation in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), particularly in the setting of hyperleukocytosis. Its prevalence, pathophysiology, and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy remain poorly characterized. To assess the prevalence, severity, and reversibility of SNHL in treatment-naïve CML patients and evaluate associations with leukocyte count and disease risk.… →

CONCLUSIONS: Patient-controlled bag squeeze appears to be a safe and effective analgesia method comparable to caregiver-assisted methods, and demonstrates favorable patient preference. →

Very short answer questions (VSAQs) have gained attention for their superior psychometric properties compared to multiple-choice questions (MCQs). While VSAQs require knowledge recall, MCQs primarily involve knowledge recognition. This difference in cognitive processes may lead to varying cognitive workloads, defined as the amount of mental processing in working memory. Previous studies have not demonstrated consistent… →
