Influence of temperament on children's cooperation during dental treatment.

Background: The etiologies of childhood dental fear/dental behavior management problems have been extensively studied, especially the role of children's temperaments. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of temperament and its associated variables on the anxiety and cooperation level of preschool children in a dental clinic.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 103, 4-6-year-old patients (39 boys and 64 girls).

Diagnostic Performance Evaluation of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Detection of Prostate Cancer with Supervised Machine Learning Methods.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men. Its early and correct diagnosis is of particular importance to controlling and preventing the disease from spreading to other tissues. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have effectively detected and graded several cancers, in particular prostate cancer.

Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Modalities for Breast Cancer Diagnosis: An Overview of Recent Findings and Perspectives.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and the leading cause of death. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures that are widely used in the diagnostic and treatment evaluation of breast cancer. This review article describes the characteristics of new MRI methods and reviews recent findings on breast cancer diagnosis.

The effect of varying head tilt on the perceived color from composite resin and porcelain restorations: Simulating the effect of altering torque.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of changes in tooth torque on the perceived color of composite and porcelain restorations.

Methods: A total of 30 patients with previous composite restorations and 30 patients with porcelain restorations on lateral and central incisors were selected. To simulate the effect of dental torque change, we asked the patients to tilt their heads upwards and downwards to represent buccal and palatal crown torque, respectively.

The Effect of Vitamin C on Apoptosis and Bax/Bcl-2 Proteins Ratio in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Patients during Cardiac Interventional Procedures.

Background: There is a close relationship between the effects of free radicals and apoptosis, and vitamin C is known as a potent scavenger of free radicals.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin C against the radiation-induced apoptosis and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 proteins in peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients undergoing cardiac procedures in vivo condition.

Material And Methods: In this clinical intervention study, blood samples from 6 patients in the first group were taken to assess the effect of radiation on the apoptosis and Bax/Bcl-2 proteins ratio, and 5 patients as the second group to evaluate the effect of vitamin C on the apoptosis and Bax/Bcl-2 proteins ratio before and 24 hours after the examination.
