Does repeated autoclave sterilization cause changes in the color and fragility of fiberglass reinforced resin crowns?

Background: Since the effects of sterilization on the Fiberglass Reinforced Resin Crowns (FRRCs) is not well-known the aim of current study was to evaluate the effects of autoclave sterilization on the fracture resistance, color stability, and surface composition of FRRCs.

Methods: A total of 48 crowns were used. The crowns were divided into three groups according to the sterilization number: no sterilization (Control Group), one sterilization (Group 1), and four sterilizations (Group 2).

A pediatric BAL case with double Ph chromosomes and trisomy 5.

Biphenotypic acute leukemias (BAL) are known as a type of leukemia involving cells with myeloid and along with lymphoid origin, in which genomic changes are detected. It has been stated that the most common genomic changes in BAL are t(9;22) and the translocations of the 11q23 region, these anomalies cause poor prognostic effects. We detected trisomy 5 (+5) in addition to the double Ph chromosome in a case where we investigated the genomic changes using molecular and conventional cytogenetic methods.

A pilot study of a deep learning approach to submerged primary tooth classification and detection.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the success and reliability of an artificial intelligence (AI) application in the detection and classification of submerged teeth in panoramic radiographs.

Materials And Methods: Convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms were used to detect and classify submerged molars. The detection module, based on the stateof- the-art Faster R-CNN architecture, processed a radiograph to define the boundaries of submerged molars.

Ectopic eruption of maxillary permanent first molars: Predictive factors for self-corrected and impacted outcome.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence, angulation and mesialisation ratio of the ectopic eruption of the maxillary permanent first molar (PFM) and its correlation with the pathological resorption of maxillary primary second molar (PSM).

Methods: This retrospective study was performed using the subsequent panoramic radiographs of 11.924 child patients aged 6-10 years.

Nitric oxide regulates watermelon ( responses to drought stress.

The role of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) application in alleviating drought stress responses by enhancing the antioxidant activities in plants is well established for several species. However, none of the studies reported its role in protecting the watermelon genotypes from drought stress. In this study, we aimed to observe the effect of NO application on the physiological and biochemical responses of the two watermelon ( var.

Hepatosplenic Fungal Infections in Children With Leukemia-Risk Factors and Outcome: A Multicentric Study.

Background: Invasive fungal infections, including hepatosplenic fungal infections (HSFI), cause significant morbidity and mortality in children with leukemia. There are not enough data to support for the best approach to diagnosis of HSFI in children, nor for the best treatment.

Procedure: In this multicentric study, we assessed the demographic data, clinical and radiologic features, treatment, and outcome of 40 children with leukemia and HSFI from 12 centers.

Microorganisms isolated from cultures and infection focus and antibiotic treatments in febrile neutropenic children from Şanlıurfa, Turkey.

Chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenia predisposes patients to life threatening infections. We aimed to determine the causative microorganisms, infection focus and antibiotic treatment success in febrile neutropenic children with leukemia. A total of 136 febrile neutropenic episodes in 48 leukemic children were reviewed retrospectively from records.

Extremely high boron tolerance in Puccinellia distans (Jacq.) Parl. related to root boron exclusion and a well-regulated antioxidant system.

Recent studies indicate an extremely high level of tolerance to boron (B) toxicity in Puccinellia distans (Jacq.) Parl. but the mechanistic basis is not known.

Ecology, anatomy and morphology of Orchis spitzelii in Turkey.

In the present study reveals the morphological, anatomical and ecological characteristic of Orchis spitzelii in Turkey. Plant materials of Orchis spitzefli were collected from 17 different population, between 2010-2013 in Turkey. Orchis spitzelii samples were analyzed for 19 morphological, 20 anatomical and 18 soil characters and habitat properties.

Induction chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin is highly effective for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Radiotherapy (RT) with concomitant chemotherapy (CT) has improved the therapeutic outcome of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANC). However, the importance of induction CT before definitive therapy is still undefined. Patients (n=59) who had LANC were included in this retrospective study.
