Does Tinnitus Lead to Depression?

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between THI (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory) and BDS (Beck Depression Scale).

Materials And Methods: High frequency thresholds and PTA (Pure Tone Audiometer) thresholds for the patients were measured in 44 patients with tinnitus (bilateral=13; unilateral=31). Tinnitus frequency and intensity were measured using one-pair method with high frequency audiometer Interacoustic AC40.

Antimicrobial effect of ozonated water, sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine gluconate in primary molar root canals.

Objective: The aim was to determine the antimicrobial effect of ozonated water, ozonated water with ultrasonication, sodium hypochloride and chlorhexidine (CHX) in human primary root canals contaminated by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis).

Materials And Methods: Fifty-eight extracted human primary molar teeth were used.

Effect of different surface treatments on the microtensile bond strength of two self-adhesive flowable composites.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of two different self-adhesive flowable composite materials (SACs) to dentin. Forty extracted human molars were horizontally flattened to expose the dentin surfaces. The teeth were divided into eight groups according to the surface treatments (acid etching, Er:YAG laser quantum square pulse (QSP) mode, and Er:YAG laser medium-short pulse (MSP) mode at 10 Hz, 1.

Correlation of HER 2/neu gene amplification with immunohistochemistry and other prognostic factors in breast carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between HER-2/neu status and estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, grade and age by comparing fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. One hundred invasive breast carcinomas were reviewed and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis was performed in all cases. Immunohistochemical scores showed a perfect concordance with fluorescence in situ hybridization amplification ratios (p < 0.

Detection of human papillomavirus DNA by polymerase chain reaction and southern blot hybridization in colorectal cancer patients.

Purpose: The molecular mechanisms related to colorectal carcinogenesis are controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible role of high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.

Patients And Methods: Tumor, and corresponding normal mucosal tissue specimens were obtained soon after surgery from 56 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma.
