Background/Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) has been shown to be effective in children with inner ear malformations (IEMs). However, outcomes vary with malformation type and anatomical complexity. Advances in radiological classification may imp...

Background: Spontaneous ventilation with intubation (SVI) during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been introduced as a hybrid technique that combines the physiological benefits of spontaneous breathing with the safety of a secured airw...

Background: Breast cancer mortality and long-term survival are influenced by the unpredictability of recurrences, which cause significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for oncology teams. The risk of local and distant recurrence is higher in...

Background: Respiration-synchronized hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an effective treatment option for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). While literature on the standardization of the post-implant care pathway for patients...

Background/Objectives: Conventional radiographic methods, although considered the gold standard for dental implantology, are not exempt from certain limitations, including their two-dimensional nature, the exposure to ionizing radiation and the inabi...

Background: Current ESC guidelines recommend the use of oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation to reduce the risk of arterial embolization. Recently, Factor XIa inhibitors were investigated as an alternative to the commonly u...
