Background: Performance of the leadless pacemaker capable of atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacing on de novo patients warrants further investigation.Objective: To assess what programming changes are needed to achieve proper atrial tracking and to study the percentage of AV synchrony (AVS) the device can provide under real-world conditions.Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing Micra AV implant between June 2020 and November 2021 were studied.

The pre-conceptual, intrauterine, and early life environments can have a profound and long-lasting impact on the developmental trajectories and health outcomes of the offspring. Given the relatively low success rates of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART; ~25%), additives and adjuvants, such as glucocorticoids, are utilized to improve the success rate. Considering the dynamic developmental events that occur during this window, these exposures may alter blastocyst formation at a molecular level, and as such, affect not only the viability of the embryo and ability of the blastocyst to implant, but also the developmental trajectory of the first three cell lineages, ultimately influencing the physiology of the embryo.

Sinus augmentation has become an integrated surgical phase in posterior maxillary implant prosthesis reconstruction. Since the residual alveolar bony height usually requires additional volume particularly at this anatomical region, sinus floor augmentation is advocated routinely. Over the years, Implant success rate is proved to be comparable to the one in the pristine bone, which is well documented in the literature. Read More

Objective: The active middle ear implant, Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB), can be implanted with a variety of couplers. Hearing outcome after implantation has been investigated in both temporal bone (TB) experiments and patient studies, but the relationship between experimental and clinical data is still weak in the literature. Therefore, experimental data from TB experiments should be compared with patient data in a retrospective study, in which the floating mass transducer is used with couplers of the third generation.

Purpose: The aim of the present retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the outcome of a maxillary sinus lateral window augmentation protocol, which sought to shorten the treatment time.Materials And Methods: This protocol entailed sinus augmentation with deproteinized bovine bone minerals (DBBM) and simultaneous implant placement in patients with minimal residual bone height. A total of 89 sinus augmentation procedures were performed in 74 patients, in whom 160 implants were placed between 2005 and 2013. Read More
