A multicenter, controlled, randomized trial of home‐applied dual‐light photodynamic therapy in stage I to III periodontitis (LumoNorth2022 study)

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis is a widespread, chronic infection‐triggered inflammatory condition in which professional supportive periodontal care (SPC) and daily oral hygiene form the backbone to reduce the disease activity. Light‐based treatments have shown promising antibacterial effects, but their potential for routine home use has not been ...

Impact of pre‐surgical anxiety and fear on patient satisfaction following periodontal and implant surgical procedures

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pre‐surgical anxiety (PSA) and pre‐surgical fear (PSF) may hinder patient compliance, while patient satisfaction (PS) is vital for adherence to treatment recommendations. This prospective study investigated the impact of PSA and PSF, and the influence of patient demographics and postoperative pain, on PS after periodontal and ...

Understanding and Addressing Delays in Endocrine Surgery: Insights From a Mixed‐Methods Study and a Pilot Educational Intervention

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Delays in endocrine surgical care contribute to adverse events, patient dissatisfaction, and mortality. Communication is an overlooked contributor. This study identified multi‐level drivers of delay and piloted a provider‐focused intervention. Methods We conducted an IRB‐approved mixed‐methods study.

Timing Matters: A Meta‐Analysis of BREAST‐Q Administration in Tissue‐Expander and Implant‐Based Breast Reconstruction

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background BREAST‐Q is the most widely used patient‐reported outcome measure following breast reconstruction, yet no consensus exists on optimal timing or duration of administration. We analyzed BREAST‐Q follow‐up after implant‐based reconstruction, comparing direct‐to‐implant (DTI) and two‐stage tissue expander (TE), to determine how outcomes
