Associations between stages of diabetic polyneuropathy and quality of life, neuropathic pain, and well-being: A multicenter, cross-sectional analysis based on electroneuromyographic findings.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between electrophysiological findings of diabetic neuropathy (DN) and patients' quality of life, neuropathic pain levels, and well-being.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 centers in Turkey. DN patients were categorized into four stages based on electrophysiological findings using the Baba classification.

Relationship between ECG-derived T-wave amplitude and T/R ratio and Syntax score in patients with acute non-st segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Objectives And Background: Our objective was to determine the diagnostic significance of a low T-wave amplitude (TWA) and T/R ratio, defined as the amplitude ratio between the T waves and the R waves, in patients with acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (ANSTEMI). Syntax score (SS) shows the extension of coronary artery disease. Previously, low TWA and T/R ratios were demonstrated to be inversely proportional to the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in different cardiac disease conditions.

Evaluation of flexural strength of additively manufactured resin materials compared to auto-polymerized provisional resin with and without hydrothermal aging.

Purpose: Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are used to fabricate 3D-printed provisional dental restorations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural strength of 3D-printed resins and compare their mechanical performance with those of conventional resins indicated for provisional restorations.

Materials And Methods: This study included six different 3D-printed resin materials, namely (Nextdent (ND); Temp PRINT (TP); Optiprint temp (OT); 3Delta Etemp (DE); Saremco print | CROWNTEC (SA); MED690 (ST)), and one conventional (Protemp (PT)) (Control) provisional resin material.

Clinical Performance of 3D Printed Resin Composite Posterior Fixed Dental Prosthesis: A Permanent Solution?

Objectives: This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 3D-printed resin composite posterior fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) restorations.

Materials And Methods: Between October 2020 and August 2022, 49 patients (33 females, 16 males, aged 19-60) received 68 3-unit 3D-printed resin composite posterior FDPs (ELS Even Stronger, Saremco, Switzerland). Follow-ups were conducted at baseline (2 weeks) by independent observers using modified FDI criteria, assessing anatomical form, marginal adaptation, surface roughness, color match, fracture, retention, and patient feedback.

Physical activity, leisure-time management, perceived barriers to physical activity and mental well-being among Turkish university students.

This study examined the relationship between physical activity (PA) level, free time management, mental well-being, and perceptions of barriers to PA among university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 723 Turkish university students, which included four questionnaires to assess participants' PA levels, conditions of mental well-being, free time management, and perceived barriers to PA. Multivariate linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with the participants' PA level.
