Comparison of the effectiveness of botulinum toxin, dry needling, pharmacological treatment, and manual therapy for bruxism-induced myalgia: a prospective randomized study.

Bruxism is a significant phenomenon that should not be underestimated, given its prevalence and consequences. The major symptoms associated with bruxism include myalgia, decreased quality of life, and limited mandibular movements. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of four treatment methods for managing bruxism-related symptoms: botulinum toxin (BoNT-A), dry needling (DN), pharmacological therapy (PT), and manual therapy (MT).

Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography for the Diagnosis and Determination of Extent of Disease in Invasive Lobular Carcinoma: Our Experience and Literature Review.

Objective: Contrast-enhanced imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging and, more recently, contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEM), is indicated for the precise diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC). The aim of our study was to further validate the use of CEM for evaluation of extent of disease in ILC cases, with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) as an adjunct.

Methods: A retrospective, institutional review board approved study was conducted in a tertiary medical center.

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis for Upgraded BIRADS Scoring towards the True Pathology of Lesions Detected by Contrast-Enhanced Mammography.

Objective: To determine the added value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in the assessment of lesions detected by contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM).

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary university medical center. All CEM studies including DBT performed between January 2016 and December 2020 were included.

Screening Mammography for Males With Elevated Breast Cancer Risk, Mutation Carriers, and Gynecomastia.

Introduction: The recommendations for annual mammography for male carriers with gynecomastia are controversial. This study investigated the potential link between gynecomastia and breast cancer in male carriers.

Patients And Methods: The database of a tertiary medical center was retrospectively searched for all male patients who underwent at least 1 digital mammography study from 2016 to 2023.

Association between Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Abnormalities in Semen Parameters and Sexual Function: A Pilot Study.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting patients of reproductive age. Although HS shares risk factors with male infertility, only 1 epidemiological study has evaluated this association. To further evaluate this potential association, findings on semen and hormonal analysis, testicular ultrasound, and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15) were compared between 28 men attending a tertiary HS clinic during the period April 2019 to April 2021, and 44 healthy controls, spouses of infertile women undergoing semen evaluation before in vitro fertilization.
