Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors by examining the sociodemographic characteristics of infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), to determine the factors that affect the duration of hospitalization, and to determine the underlying microbial factors and evaluate them in the light of the literature.

Methods: This study evaluated the data of newborns hospitalized with LTRI between 01 October 2022 and 31 March 2023. Demographic characteristics of the patients detected viral agents, duration of hospitalization and risk factors were recorded in the study form.

We aimed to evaluate the effects of postpartum progesterone on obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) healing in female rats using an experimental OASI model. Twenty-eight female rats were divided into four groups after birth: sham-30, sham-90, progesterone (P4)-30, and P4-90. Moreover, OASI model was established in all groups.

Background: Fecal incontinence (FI) generally occurs with anal sphincter damage caused by vaginal delivery in women, obvious FI can develop in the postmenopausal stage. This pelvic floor dysfunction has no rational medical therapeutic options. We investigated the effect of testosterone treatment on the anal sphincter structure, serum thiol/disulfide levels, uterine tissue, and body composition in female rats in an experimental menopause-FI model.

Purpose: Postoperative pain is a common complication in endodontics contributed by multiple etiological factors, which consist canal preparation instruments and kinematics. The aim of this randomized clinical trial compare the postoperative pain in terms of intensity and incidence after the use of different nickel titanium (NiTi) file systems.

Patients And Methods: In this randomized clinical trial (NCT03791762), a total of 150 patients were root canal treated by 2 experienced endodontists according to a standardised protocol.

Purpose: To evaluate demographic and lifestyle factors associated with aqueous deficient and evaporative dry eye disease.

Methods: A total of 1125 general public visitors (707 females, mean ± SD age, 33 ± 21, range 5-90 years) at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition were recruited in a cross-sectional study. A demographic and lifestyle factor questionnaire was administered, and dry eye symptomology (DEQ-5 score), ocular surface characteristics (conjunctival hyperaemia, and infrared meibography), and tear film parameters (tear meniscus height, non-invasive breakup time, and lipid layer grade) were evaluated for the left eye of each participant within a single session.

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn is a disease that is caused by maternal alloantibodies to the fetus. In the literature, the frequency of hemolytic disease of the newborn due to Rh (D) sensitization decreased inversely with the increase in the use of anti-D gammaglobulin. However, the importance of minor blood group incompatibilities has increased in the etiology.

Aim: This in vitro study was conducted to compare the fracture strength of endocrowns manufactured from different hybrid blocks under axial and lateral forces.

Material And Methods: Following root-canal treatment, 100 permanent mandibular first molars were randomly distributed among 5 groups according to restoration material. Endocrown restorations were produced from IPS e.

The majority of abdominal masses detected in the neonatal period are benign (85%) and usually originate in the urinary tract (50%), genital system (15%), gastrointestinal system (15%), or the hepatobiliary tract (5%). Ovarian cysts comprise one-third of the masses with a genital origin. Presently described is a case of an ovarian cyst that developed during the antenatal period and transformed into a hemorrhagic cystic mass as a result of torsion.

Article Synopsis
  • * Convulsions in newborns are categorized into four types: subtle, clonic, tonic, and myoclonic, while non-epileptic movements such as jitteriness and sleep myoclonus can often be mistaken for seizures.
  • * Treatment for convulsions includes hospitalization and monitoring, with phenobarbital typically being the first-line medication, while the broader goal is to avert brain damage and tackle potential long-term neurological issues.

Purpose: Artificial tears are widely used in the treatment of dry eye disease, although current formulations do not closely resemble natural tears. The purpose of this study was the design and characterization of a novel in situ gelling artificial tear formulation, containing both lipid and aqueous components, in order to resemble natural tears and replenish the tear film.

Methods: Liposomes, containing phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, vitamins A and E, were prepared by the thin-film hydration method.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the utility of tubular reabsorption of phosphorus in the diagnosis of osteopenia of prematurity in addition to biochemical markers.

Materials And Method: Premature babies with a gestational age of ≤32 weeks and/or a birth weight of ≤1 500 g who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit between June 2009 and March 2011 were included in the study. These babies were evaluated at the 40th gestational week and serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, urea, creatinine, urinary calcium and phosphorus levels were measured and tubular reabsorption of phosphorus was determined.

This, partly retrospective study, was designed to determine the seroprevalence of Schmallenberg virus (SBV), a new Orthobunyavirus first reported in Germany in late 2011, in domestic ruminants from the Middle Black Sea, West, and Southeast regions of Turkey. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to screen serum samples collected from slaughterhouse animals between 2006 and 2013. The overall seroprevalence was 335/1,362 (24.

Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) is the presence of functional ovarian tissue with signs of oestrus as a complication after ovariohysterectomy (OHE) or ovariectomy. Stump pyometra is another complication that can be observed after OHE. However, there are few reports about ORS and stump pyometra in queens.
