Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the stress distribution between all-on four and all-on six treatment concept with various prosthetics framework materials through finite element analysis.
Materials And Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxilla was simulated using computerized topographical data of a patient. Four implants were placed according to All-on four concept.
In this study, natural radioactivity levels (Ra, Th, and K) of some medicinal plant samples with known anti-oxidative properties, which are frequently consumed by animals and humans, were obtained from Ankara province and its surroundings (Mamak, Kızılcahamam, Beypazarı, Kahramankazan, and Polatlı districts) were determined using a thallium-doped sodium iodide NaI(Tl) gamma spectrometry. By using the determined natural radioactivity concentrations in the collected plant samples, the number of radiological doses that people could be exposed by consuming these plants was calculated. As a result of the study, Ra, Th, and K radioactivity concentration ranges of the plant samples were found be 14.

A history of prematurity and chronic diseases such as congenital heart disease or asthma/reactive airway disease (RAD) increases the risk of severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) due to hMPV. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to analyze the clinical outcome and risk factors for severe disease in children with LRTI due to hMPV.

Case: Here, we reported a 9-year-old child with Down syndrome who presented with massive hemoptysis. Endovascular coil embolization was performed for Rasmussen`s aneurysm.
