The Relationship of Aesthetic Dentistry Practices with Depression and Social Appearance Anxiety in Young Women.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between depression and social appearance anxiety in young female patients who applied for aesthetic dental treatment.

Methodology: The study was conducted in a single centre and included 56 female patients aged 18-35 years. The mean age of the participants was 22.

Evaluation of the Effects of Optokinetic Stimuli and Dual-Task Performance on Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Function in Children With Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of optokinetic stimuli and dual-task performance on vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function. The study primarily focused on understanding the effects of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its subtypes.

Study Design: A case-control study.

First and second-trimester biochemical serum markers in maternal familial Mediterranean fever: The impact of colchicine use.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effects of colchicine use on first and second trimester screening markers in pregnancies complicated with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and to evaluate the overall impact of these effects on perinatal outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted in pregnancies complicated with FMF using colchicine and healthy pregnancies as controls without any defined risk factors and medication use. Biochemical markers for the aneuploidy screening, including free ß-hCG and PAPP-A in the first trimester, and AFP, HCG, and unconjugated estriol (uE3) in the second trimester, were recorded, and MoM levels of these markers were compared between the FMF and control groups.

Evaluation of fetal myocardial performance index in gestational diabetes mellitus.

This study aimed to compare fetal myocardial performance index (MPI) between fetuses of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and healthy controls and to evaluate the relationship between MPI and maternal glucose levels. This was a prospective study of 90 pregnant women, including 50 pregnancies with GDM (27 pregnancies with insulin-regulated GDM and 23 pregnancies with diet-regulated GDM) and 40 healthy controls. Isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) + isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT)/ejection time (ET) were used to calculate the MPI (MPI = [ICT + IRT]/ET).

Evaluation of the effects of whitening toothpaste containing nanohydroxyapatite on surface roughness and color change in restorative materials.

Background: The effects of whitening toothpastes containing nanohydroxyapatite on the surfaces of restorative materials are not well known. This study evaluated the changes in surface roughness and color of coffee-stained restorative materials after brushing with nanohydroxyapatite and other whitening toothpastes.

Methods: Disc-shaped specimens were formed using microhybrid, nanohybrid, and supra-nano-filled composite ( = 30) and stained with a coffee solution.
