The effect of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on dislocation of hip hemiarthroplasty.

Background: Degeneration of the spine may affect pelvic parameters and hip mobility. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on hip hemiarthroplasty dislocations.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular hip fracture over a twenty-year period.

Dentists' knowledge about domestic violence against women: A questionnaire-based study.

Background: Dentists are the first healthcare professionals to identify cases of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) with head and neck injuries.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess dentists' knowledge regarding behavioral and physical findings in female victims of DVA.

Material And Methods: The study included 558 volunteer dentists who completed a two-part questionnaire designed to assess their knowledge and awareness of DVA against women.

Titanium implant surface roughness after different implantoplasty protocols: A laboratory study.

Objective: To compare the surface roughness of sandblasted, large grit, acid-etched (SLA) surfaced titanium discs, after implantoplasty (IP) with different combinations of rotating instruments without or with the subsequent use of a silicone polisher.

Methods: Titanium discs (n = 12 per group) with an SLA surface were treated with the following IP protocols: (1) Tungsten carbide bur sequence from company 1 (Komet Dental) without or with polishing (P) with a silicone polisher (Brownie®), (2) tungsten carbide bur sequence from company 2 (Hager & Meisinger GmbH) without or with P, and (3) diamond bur sequence (125, 40, 15-μm grit) without or with P. Pristine turned (T) and SLA titanium discs were used as negative and positive controls, respectively.

Classification of retinoblastoma-1 gene mutation with machine learning-based models in bladder cancer.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the potential of machine learning algorithms built with radiomics features from computed tomography urography (CTU) images that classify RB1 gene mutation status in bladder cancer.

Method: The study enrolled CTU images of 18 patients with and 54 without RB1 mutation from a public database. Image and data preprocessing were performed after data augmentation.

Normal aging of the lumbar spine in women.

Background: Lumbar lordosis is required for bipedalism.

Objectives: To investigate age-related changes in lumbar lordosis and to clarify the relationships between lumbar lordosis and vertebral wedging and disc degeneration.

Methods: A total of 300 women were included in this retrospective study, 50 in each of six age groups (20-, 30-, 40-, 50-, 60- and 70-year-olds).

The correlation between medial plica and trochlear dysplasis: An MRI study.

Background: Trochlear dysplasia is the most commonly encountered congenital etiologic factor of anterior knee pain.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between trochlear dysplasia with medial patellar plica as well as to investigate the distribution of plica types according to types of dysplasia.

Settings And Design: This is a retrospective case-control study.

Aseptic leptomeningitis in systemic lupus erythematosus. A case report.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with leptomeningeal involvement is a rare condition. We report a case in a 17-year-old woman.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: The patient was admitted to hospital with the complaints of vertigo, nausea, vomiting, headache, diplopia, ptosis on the left and weakness of the left leg.

Leukoaraiosis in stroke patients.

Pathogenesis of leukoaraiosis (LA) is not clearly understood and its significance in patients with stroke remains undetermined. In the Neurology Department of Ankara Hospital, computed tomography (CT) examination of brain was performed for various reasons in 288 patients. LA was detected in 178 patients by the use of brain CT.
