Making the Myths of Dating Violence Visible: Developing a New Scale and Testing Its Psychometrics Through Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Evidence.

Myths refer to misperceptions, overgeneralizations, or ideas that most people believe in but do not necessarily reflect the truth. To date, research on the myths surrounding dating violence (DV) has not received much attention, most probably due to the lack of a validated measure. Thus, we developed a standardized measure to gauge DV myths and test its psychometrics.

The effects of traffic accidents on pregnancy: Is hospitalization necessary in every case?

Background: This study aimed to show whether it is necessary to hospitalize pregnant women who have been involved in traffic accidents.

Methods: Patients at a hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, who underwent traffic accidents between 2012 and 2018 were studied, and pregnant patients' files were evaluated. Demographic and obstetric features of patients, type of accident, type of trauma, Glasgow Coma Score, whether or not hospitalization were examined, the response of patients to hospitalization, and the obstetric and maternal results of accidents were assessed.

Long-Lasting Follow-Up with Low-Dose Steroid in an 18-Year-Old Male with Rosai-Dorfman Disease.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare and benign pathology of sinus histiocytosis of unknown etiology. Lymphadenopathy is the predominant clinical manifestation, but diverse organs can also be affected. Histological features involve S-100+ histiocytes with characteristic nuclear features within the enlarged sinusoids of the lymph nodes.

Evaluation of Iron Overload in the Heart and Liver Tissue by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and its Relation to Serum Ferritin and Hepcidin Concentrations in Patients with Thalassemia Syndromes.

Iron overload is one of the major prognostic factor in thallassemia patients. We aimed to evaluate iron accumulation in the heart and liver by MRI in thalassemia major, thalassemia intermedia, and S-ß thalassemia patients and to examine its association with ferritin and hepcidin levels. Serum ferritin and hepcidin levels were recorded.

A novel angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab induces apoptosis in the rat endometriosis model.

Our aim was to investigate the effects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) antibody Bevacizumab on endometrial explants and on apoptotic gene expression levels in the rat endometriosis model. Endometriotic implants were surgically formed, and rats treated with (i) 1 mg/kg single subcutaneous injection of depot leuprolide acetate; (ii) 2.5 mg/kg of single intaperitoneal injection of bevacizumab; (iii) intraperitoneal injection of saline.
