Article Synopsis
- * Data was collected through three online focus group interviews involving 24 family physicians, who discussed their experiences and challenges working with refugee patients.
- * Key findings highlighted four themes: the physicians' experiences and emotions, challenges encountered, and proposed solutions, emphasizing difficulties in healthcare system adaptation and access to hospital services.
Background: This study evaluated the efficacy of grape seed extract (GSE) on the remineralization of primary tooth enamel alone or in combination with remineralizing agents.
Methods: The initial microhardness value of 90 primary tooth enamel samples was calculated; then, the samples were demineralized. The post-demineralization hardness of the samples was measured and the samples were randomly divided into 6 groups as follows: G1: negative control, G2: GSE, G3: NaF, G4:Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), G5: GSE+NaF, and G6: GSE+CPP-ACP (n=15).
Objective: To investigate the clinical, laboratory findings and signal intensity index (SII) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with bilateral and unilateral macronodular mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).
Patients And Measurements: Clinical and laboratory findings of 81 patients with MACS were examined from retrospective records. SII of adenomas and internodular areas were evaluated by MRI.
Purpose: Our aim was to develop a prediction model based on a simple score with clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings for the subtype diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA). The contribution of adrenal volumetric assessment to PA subtyping was also investigated.
Methods: Thirty-five patients with adequate cannulation in adrenal venous sampling (AVS) were included.
Background: Although several studies proved that SM could substitute for FFDM, the efficacy of SM in microcalcification evaluation remains controversial.
Aims: To investigate the diagnostic performance of synthetic mammography (SM) in the evaluation of microcalcifications in comparison with full-field digital mammography (FFDM).
Methods: In this retrospective study, 76 mammograms of 76 patients who underwent FFDM and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) acquisitions concomitantly between 2018 and 2019 and whose final mammography interpretation revealed microcalcifications (28 malignant microcalcifications and 48 benign microcalcifications) were included.
