Selecting drill size for post space preparation based on final endodontic radiographs: An in vitro study
CONCLUSION: The result of this study suggests that post-operation endodontic radiographs are reliable means for selecting a size of Peeso reamer that does not encroach on dentinal wall during removal of intracanal filling material and post space preparation.PMID:38578907 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231410 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Deep brain stimulation for Alzheimer's disease - current status and next steps
This article explores AD as a manifestation of neurocircuit dysfunction and evaluates deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a potential intervention. Focusing on fornix-targeted stimulation (DBS-f), the article summarizes safety, feasibility, and outcomes observed in phase 1/2 trials, highlighting findings such as cognitive improvement, increased metabolism, and hippocampal growth. Topics for further study include optimization of electrode placement, and the role of stimulation-induced autobiographical-recall. Nucleus basalis of Meynert (DBS-NBM) DBS is also discussed and compared with DBS-f. Challenges with both DBS-f and DBS-N...

Technical challenges during emergent endovascular aneurysm repair with the ALTO system
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 5:1-7. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2339416. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) pose an immediate threat for patient's life and endovascular repair (EVAR) is currently the preferred treatment modality in the presence of suitable anatomy. This is determined based on the requirements of each endograft as described in the instructions for use (IFU). The new ALTO system (Endologix, Irvin, CA, U.S.A.), can accommodate a great range of anatomies such as short necks and/or narrow access, but its unique design requires specific technical modificatio...
