Comprehensive risk assessment for identifying suitable residential zones in Manavgat, Mediterranean Region.

The absence of comprehensive risk analysis in residential development within certain regions often leads to substantial human and material losses during natural disasters. The Mediterranean region, particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change, is projected to witness an upsurge in the frequency of natural calamities like floods, landslides, and forest fires. Consequently, meticulous risk assessment during the selection of residential areas becomes paramount in this context.

Determining the suitable settlement areas in Alanya with GIS-based site selection analyses.

Urbanization, which is defined as an irreversible global-scale problem nowadays, necessitates the foundation of new settlement areas. In general, no sufficient scientific assessment and analysis were performed during these processes, and thus, various natural disasters cost the loss of many lives and properties every year. Nevertheless, considering the areas that are risky in terms of natural disasters during the selection of settlement areas might prevent a large-scale loss of lives and properties because of natural disasters.

A Novel Approach for Horizontal Augmentation of Posterior Maxilla Using Ridge Split Technique.

Over the years, there have been a series of innovative approaches to the alveolar bone augmentation techniques. These have led to the modifications of the existing methods and the establishment of more efficient ways to obtain sufficient bone mass that is necessary for the implant procedure. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel augmentation technique, and to investigate its efficacy, particularly during the healing process of the maxillary alveolar bone prior to the implant treatment.

Mandibular Torus Harvesting for Sinus Augmentation: Two-Year Follow-Up.

Maxillary sinus grafting is a commonly used treatment alternative in cases with insufficient bone height to enable insertion of implants in the posterior maxilla. It is commonly carried out with autogenous grafts, biomaterials or both. Autogenous bone grafts are considered gold standard for this procedure; however, due to donor site morbidity, it is not as commonly used as other biomaterials.

Increasing challenges of inflammatory bowel disease in a Turkish cohort (2006-2016).

Background: We aimed to describe the natural course of inflam-matory bowel disease (IBD) in adult Turkish patients during the past decade.

Methods: We performed a retrospective investigation in total 508 patients with IBD between 2006 and 2016. The severity of IBD was assessed by the need for hospitalization, biological therapy and surgery.

Lipedematous Scalp and Alopecia: Report of Two Cases with a Brief Review of Literature.

Lipedematous scalp (LS) and lipedematous alopecia (LA) are both rare conditions with an unknown etiology. LS is characterized by boggy swelling under the skin as a result of hyperplasia of subcutaneous layer. LA is basically LS associated with hair growth abnormalities such as alopecia and short broken hair.

Screening for celiac disease in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus: worth it or not?

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that immune factors might have a role in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Inappropriate glycemic control in patients with T2DM is an important risk factor for the occurrence of diabetes complications. The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is high in type 1 diabetes mellitus however, there are scarce data about its prevalence in T2DM.

Diaper Dermatitis: A Review of 63 Children.

Background/objective: Diaper dermatitis (DD) is a common infantile dermatosis with a highly variable prevalence and incidence. This study aimed to present the demographic and clinical features of babies with DD.

Methods: Data, including demographic and clinical features, obtained from DD patient forms were retrospectively analyzed.

The geographic distribution of cases of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: Kastamonu, Turkey.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of cases diagnosed with Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) with the help of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and to establish an epidemiological risk map. Data for 434 cases diagnosed with CCHF between 01.01.

Tenofovir-best hope for treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection?

Background/aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of tenofovir in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection in a real life setting.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of data from 164 patients with chronic hepatitis B who were treated with Tenofovir. Eighty-six patients (52.

The efficiency of endoclips in maintaining the gastrointestinal bleeding-related Dieulafoy's lesion.

Background: Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is a relatively uncommon medical condition characterized by a large tortuous arteriole in the submucosa of any part of gastrointestinal (GI) tract wall that bleeds via erosion likely caused in the submucosal surface by protrusion of the pulsatile arteriole. Compared with other endoscopic hemostatic techniques, clipping alone for DL is limited.

Aims: The aim of the present case series study is to identify common clinical and endoscopic features, rates of occurrence, to review the outcome of endoscopic management of upper GI tract DL, and to illustrate the use and the efficiency of endoclips in maintaining the GI bleeding due to DL.
