Childhood cancers, with leukemia at the forefront, comprise 97% acute leukemia and 3% chronic leukemia, with 75% of acute leukemias being of lymphoblastic origin. Over the past 50 years, survival rates have witnessed a remarkable increase, progressing from around 10% to achieving cure rates exceeding 90% in certain childhood ALL subgroups with the advent of combined therapies. Between 1999 and 2018, a total of 123 patients diagnosed with B-ALL were initially identified, but after applying exclusion criteria, 105 patients were included in the evaluation, who were treated with COG protocols at our center.

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have the potential to produce complex parts, and many of these techniques require the use of support structures to prevent deformations and to minimize thermal effects during the printing process, particularly when building overhangs and internal cavities. However, removing the support structures through postprocessing incurs additional costs and time penalties. Unlike other AM techniques, support structures are not used in directed energy deposition (DED) technique due to its working principle.

This study now presents the long-term outcomes of repeated RS in individuals with haemophilia.
Materials And Methods: Repeated RS was administered to 48 joints in 37 people with haemophilia (PwHs) diagnosed with chronic haemophilic synovitis.
Article Synopsis
- Managing segmental mandibular defects is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach, as traditional methods like reconstruction plates alone may not yield optimal results for patients.* -
- The use of integrated hybrid scaffold systems, which combine various materials for better mechanical support and tissue healing, shows promise in enhancing recovery outcomes in mandibular reconstruction.* -
- A study utilized 3D modeling and finite element analysis to develop and assess new reconstruction plates and a biomimetic bone scaffold, highlighting improvements in biomechanical performance for better treatment strategies.*
Background: Hemophilia B (HB), an X-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder, exhibits a high prevalence among males.
Objectives: To present the first national cohort of persons with HB to define the demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns in Turkey.
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included 433 alive persons with HB registered in 35 centers between 1961 and 2018.
