Evaluation of the effects of occlusal splint and masseter muscle injection in patients with myofascial pain: a randomised controlled trial.

Myofascial pain is one of the common symptoms in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Occlusal splint (OS) and masticatory muscle trigger point (TP) local injections are primary treatment options. We aimed to investigate the effects of these treatments using clinical and elastography measures.

Artificial Intelligence in Breast Imaging: Opportunities, Challenges, and Legal-Ethical Considerations.

This review explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast imaging, driven by a global rise in breast cancer cases. Propelled by deep learning techniques, AI shows promise in refining diagnostic processes, yet adoption rates vary. Its ability to manage extensive datasets and process multidimensional information holds potential for advancing precision medicine in breast cancer research.

Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) cultures: Factors affecting their enrichment, performance and integration with anammox bacteria.

The recently discovered process, denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO), links the carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles via coupling the anaerobic oxidation of methane to denitrification. The DAMO process, in this respect, has the potential to mitigate the greenhouse effect through the assimilation of dissolved methane. Denitrification via methane oxidation rather than organic matter, provides a new perspective to performing this once thought to be well established process.

The association of OSAS and uvula: the role of MRI in this egg-chicken problem in OSAS.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a condition resulting from repetitive partial or complete upper airway obstruction, and its etiology remains uncertain. Polysomnography is the gold standard diagnostic test for OSAS. However, there are long wait times for this evaluation, so questionnaires or ancillary diagnostic methods are used to select appropriate patients.

Lenalidomide Induced Late-Onset Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

A 77-year-old man with multiple myeloma (MM) presented with shortness of breath to the emergency department. He also had history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pulmonary embolism and nephrectomy due to malignancy 10 years ago. He had been treated for 9 months with lenalidomide because of MM.

Papillary Lesions of Breast.

Introduction: Papillary breast lesions constitute a pathological heterogeneous group and are characterized by growth in the milk ducts. In this study, we aimed to present in view of literature patients who underwent lumpectomy due to breast mass and with papillary lesion in histopathological examination.

Material Method: The pathology records and informations of 42 patients who were operated between 2006-2014 in our clinic and considered to have papillary lesion in histopathological examination were examined retrospectively.

Granulomatous Mastitis: A Ten-Year Experience at a University Hospital.

Objective: In this study we aimed to define clinical, radiologic and pathological specialties of patients who applied to General Surgery Department of Atatürk University Medical Faculty with granulomatous mastitis and show medical and surgical treatment results. With the help of this study we will be able to make our own clinical algorithm for diagnosis and treatment.

Materials And Methods: We searched retrospectively addresses, phone numbers and clinical files of 93 patients whom diagnosed granulomatous mastitis between a decade of January 2001 - December 2010.

Brachiocephalic artery anomaly at the neck: importance during minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy.

A 76-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for evaluation of a parathyroid adenoma, detected on sonography. It had been located posteroinferiorly to the right thyroid lobe. Parathyroid scintigraphy confirmed the right inferior parathyroid adenoma.

Vesicoureteral reflux in a nonfunctioning kidney detected by 99mTc-DTPA study.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a well-recognized condition in the pediatric population, but is less well described in the adult population, and its prevalence decreases with increasing age. We describe the case of a 53-year-old male with nonfunctional kidney in which accumulation of radioactivity was observed in the ureter and renal pelvis owing to VUR, which was detected by technetium-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid dynamic renal scintigraphy.
