Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to examine how different vertical facial types affect the perception of lower facial asymmetry by orthodontists, dentists, and laypeople.
  • Researchers altered photos of three women with distinct growth patterns (normal, vertical, and horizontal) and conducted a survey with 75 orthodontists, 73 dentists, and 78 laypeople rating facial attractiveness based on varying degrees of asymmetry.
  • Results showed that both orthodontists and dentists could detect minor asymmetries better in normal growth patterns, while significant asymmetries were recognized more in horizontal growth patterns by orthodontists and laypeople.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigation of the effects of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (Bilişsel Egzersiz Terapi Yaklaşımı-BETY), a supervised biopsychosocial model-based exercise intervention, on functionality, muscle strength, vascularization, anti-inflammatory and biopsychosocial status in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) patients.

Methods: Thirty-seven SSc patients were included. Twenty of them were recruited into the study group (SG) undergoing BETY group exercise sessions three times a week for three months and 17 were in the control group (CG) following a home exercise program.

Functional disorders of the glymphatic system and Aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) channels take part in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disease. The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of AQP-4 channels in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in a mouse model of NMDA receptor blocking agent-induced schizophrenia-like behavior model. NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 was used to produce the experimental schizophrenia model.

Article Synopsis
  • TNF alpha inhibitors (TNFi), like adalimumab, can have rare but serious side effects that are becoming more frequently reported.
  • An 18-year-old girl with juvenile idiopathic arthritis experienced severe symptoms, including fever and neurological issues, after receiving adalimumab, which led to a diagnosis of non-infectious subacute meningitis.
  • The case highlights the need for pediatric rheumatologists to recognize and monitor for potential severe adverse effects associated with anti-TNF treatment.

Background: Upper gastrointestinal system (GIS) bleeding is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity. The predictive values of pre-endoscopic Rockall score (PERS), full Rockall score (FRS), Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS), pre-endoscopic Baylor score (PEBS), and full Baylor score (FBS) to predict bleeding at follow-up, endoscopic therapy, blood transfusion requirement, and death are investigated in our study.

Methods: This study was retrospectively conducted in patients admitted to emergency department with upper GIS bleeding.
