Digital Prototype

The method is given that in laboratory conditions allows you to create plastic templates made by 3D-printing. For planning a digital prototype of these patterns, computed tomography, laser surface scan of the dentition, as well as a number of computer programs are used, the use of which in the treatment of tooth loss allows you to accurately determine the implant placement area. This navigation is based on the principle of using one drill. The application of this method in the clinic will significantly improve the quality of implantology treatment, to obtain more predictable and long-term results.

The immediate and long-term results of treatment of 30 patients with severe pain syndrome of the lumbar region, who underwent operations on denervation of DOS, were studied. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive technologies for the treatment of pain in the lumbar region (denervation of DOS), to study the near and distant results of these treatment methods. Denervation DOS is an effective minimally invasive method for the treatment of facet syndrome caused by spondylarthrosis. It allows in the early and distant postoperative periods to significantly reduce the pain syndrome and improve the quality of life of patients.

Abstract Purpose: Advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care have improved patients' short-and mid-term postoperative outcomes with Biliary Atresia (BA). However, the long-term results of these patients have not been thoroughly investigated. This systematic review aims to determine the long-term outcomes and the patients' health-related Quality of life (HrQoL) with their native livers or liver transplantation. Methods: A systematic literature-based search for relevant cohorts was performed using Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane Library from its inception to August 2021. Original studies reporting on BA, Hepatoportoenterostomie, portoenterostomy, Kasai, Liver transplantation, Quality of life, or HrQoL were included. Pooled prevalence has been calculated for cholangitis, secondary liver transplantation, or associated malformations using MetaXL (version 5.3). Subgroup analysis on HrQoL followed surgical treatment after BA was calculated by using RevMan (version 5.4).Results: 12 articles were considered for data synthesis. Nine studies compared biliary atresia patients to an age-matched healthy reference group. 4/9 (n = 338) of these studies indicated lower scores for biliary atresia patients; 5/9 (n = 127) stated similar health status. A Forest plot analysis including all studies with total HrQoL showed a tendency of higher scores towards healthy controls (MD -0.79, 95% CI: -6.00-4.41). Comparing patients after Kasai Hepatoportoenterostomy with healthy controls demonstrated favorable outcomes for the control group (MD -3.22, 95% CI: -7.20-0.75) with no statistical significance (p = 0.11). The pooled estimation of the prevalence of cholangitis, secondary liver transplantation and associated malformations are 0.33 (95% CI: 0.06–0.66), 0.59 (95% CI: 0,42–0.75) and 0.13 (95% CI: 0,01–0.33).Conclusion: Biliary atresia patients have an overall high prevalence of progressive liver-related complications and risk of lower HrQoL compared to their healthy peers. Furthermore, those patients who received liver transplantation appear to have the same Quality of life as those living with their native livers. Targeted and evidence-based follow-up procedures and transitional care are essential to meet these patients' long-term care needs. Prospective and multicenter research das focuses on the attributes and predictors of the long-term prognosis of patients with biliary atresia are necessary.

Background Currently, there are limited data available describing the long-term outcomes of chest trauma survivors. Here, the authors sought to describe chest trauma survivor outcomes 6 months and 1 yr after discharge from the intensive care unit, paying special attention to pulmonary outcomes. Methods A cohort of 105 multiple trauma patients with blunt chest trauma admitted to the intensive care unit was longitudinally evaluated. After 6 months, a chest computed tomography scan, pulmonary function testing (PFT), and quality of life were collected in 55 of these patients. A subgroup of 38 patients was followed up for 1 yr. Results At least one abnormal PFT result was found in 39 patients (71%). Compared with normalized data of the age- and sex-matched population, physical function was decreased in 38 patients (70%). The 6-min walk distance was reduced for 29 patients (72%). Although pathologic images were observed on the chest computed tomography scan from 33 patients (60%), no relation was found between PFT and computed tomography. A ratio of arterial oxygen pressure to inspired oxygen fraction less than 200 at admission to the intensive care unit predicted an abnormal PFT result at 6 months. One year after discharge from the intensive care unit, paired comparisons showed a significant increase in forced vital capacity (P = 0.02) and Karnofsky Performance Status (P &lt; 0.001). Conclusions Survivors of multiple traumas including chest trauma demonstrate a persistent decrease in the 6-min walk distance, impairment on PFT, and reduced pulmonary-specific quality of life.

Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are movement disorders due to side effects of dopamine receptor blocking agents. Symptoms of EPS include dystonia, akathisia, and parkinsonism. Symptoms of EPS in this case are found in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) which does not consume dopamine receptor blocking drugs. Normal pressure hydrocephalus is hydrocephalus which does not coincide with intracranial pressure (ICT) elevation. Reported a case of a 57-year-old male with decreased consciousness and extrapyramidal symptoms and Normo pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a V-P Shunt operation was performed. The operation was carried out under general anesthesia, using a non-kinking ETT no. 7.5, controlled ventilation. Premedication given midazolam 2 mg iv, Co induction with oxycodon 10 mg iv. Induction with propofol 150 mg iv, intubation facilities with rocketuronium 30 mg iv, maintenance with O2: Air (50: 50), sevoflurane, propofol continuous 100 mg/hour, rokuronium 20 mg/hour. Stable hemodynamics, SBP 130–150 mmHg, DBP 80–90 mmHg, HR 50–70 x/min, O2 saturation 99–100%, etCO2 35–37. After surgery the patient was treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for monitoring blood pressure and extrapyramidal symptoms. The main goal of treatment should not be solely for the treatment of acute symptoms of EPS but also for the management of basic disease causing EPS related to morbidity and maintaining quality of life. Multidisciplinary management (neurosurgery, neurosurgery, intensive anesthesia and medical rehabilitation) are needed for better long-term results.
