[6]-Shogaol and [6]-Gingerol active ingredients may improve neuropathic pain by suppressing cytokine levels in an experimental model.

Background/aim: Neuropathic pain (NP) is a type of chronic pain usually caused by damage to the somatosensory system. Bioactive antioxidant compounds, such as curcumin and ginger, are widely preferred in the treatment of NP. However, the ingredient-based mechanism that underlies their pain-relieving activity remains unknown.

A comprehensive morphometric analysis of pterygospinous and pterygoalar bars on computed tomography images.

This study is aimed to determine the prevalence and morphometric characteristics of the pterygospinous (Ps) and pterygoalar (Pa) bars using computed tomography (CT) images on an extensive study sample of the Anatolian population. The CT images of 700 patients (350 males, 350 females) were analyzed for morphological characteristics and Pa and Ps bars. Ps and Pa bars were classified as complete or incomplete (partial) depending on the degree of ossification.

Anthropometric Periocular Soft Tissue Analysis From Preadolescence to Young Adulthood: Photogrammetric Measurements.

The periocular region has a central role in the prediction of ethnicity, understanding emotional expression, age, and sex. The aim of this study was to determine the sex-related growth changes in the periocular region of Turkish preadolescents, adolescents, and young adults. The study included a total of 234 individuals (preadolescents: 34 females and 40 males; adolescents: 40 females, 40 males, and young adults: 40 males and 40 females).

Investigation of the Anthropometric Changes in Breast Volume and Measurements After Breast Reduction.

Objective This study aims to compare breast volume changes and other anthropometric measurements by using before and after breast reduction pictures of women who underwent breast reduction operation in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery clinic and by performing measurements from the anatomic points indicated in the literature. Background Landmarks (previously identified as anatomic points) that show the success of breast reduction operation are not sufficient. Anthropometric points and their identification are of great importance for choosing the landmarks and identifying the statistical approaches to be used.

Age-Related Changes in the External Noses of the Anatolian Men.

Objective: Knowledge of age-related nasal region measurements in Anatolian men; growth changes between adult and old age.

Background: The nose plays a critical role in determining the external appearance of an individual. Craniofacial anthropometry has been commonly used in forensic anthropology and medicine.

Anthropometric analysis of the nose in young Turkish men and women.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe and compare values for nasal anthropometric measurements using the landmark-based geometric morphometric technique in young healthy Turkish men and women.

Materials And Methods: A total of 115 young adults (56 men and 59 women) whose ages ranged from 18 to 30 years (mean age 21.22 years) were included in the analysis.

[Morphometric analysis of nasal shapes and angles in young adults].

Introduction: The size, angle, shape and type of nose are a signature indicating race, age and sex.

Objective: Describe and compare nasal angles, nose types, nostril models, and nasal profiles in young Turkish males and females.

Methods: The study group consisted of university students, 56 males and 59 females.
