Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effects of adjuvant treatments and factors affecting recurrence and survival in patients with stage IIB endometrial cancer, using data from surgeries performed in Turkey between 2005 and 2022.
  • Out of 7323 patients, 565 were identified as stage IIB; most received adjuvant radiotherapy, but the study found no significant survival benefits from adjuvant treatments overall.
  • Notably, patients with tumors larger than 4 cm and myometrial invasion greater than 50% had higher recurrence rates, while adjuvant treatment improved overall survival only for those with deep myometrial invasion.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the long-term oncologic and obstetric outcomes of women with epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent fertility-sparing surgery.

Methods: A total of 68 patients observed between March 2007 and July 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and uterine preservation with staging surgery were the main procedures for fertility-sparing surgery.

Purpose: Cytokines are major mediators of COVID-19 pathogenesis and several of them are already being regarded as predictive markers for the clinical course and outcome of COVID-19 cases. A major pitfall of many COVID-19 cytokine studies is the lack of a benchmark sampling timing. Since cytokines and their relative change during an infectious disease course is quite dynamic, we evaluated the predictive value of serially measured cytokines for COVID-19 cases.

This in-vitro study investigates the bonding interfaces reached by the conditioning of a splint material additively manufactured by digital light processing (AM base) as well as the shear bond strength (SBS) of resins bonded to these surfaces (repair material). Therefore, the AM base was either stored in dry for 12 h or wet environment for 14 days to simulate ageing by intraoral wear. The dry and wet group was bonded after physical and/or chemical conditioning to cylinders made from polymethylmethacrylate or four novel polymers allowing splint modifications.
