Türkiye hosts the largest number of refugees, including Afghans, as the second largest asylum-seeking group in Türkiye. There is a dearth of research into the mental health and integration of Afghan refugees in Türkiye.

Estimated prevalence rates and risk factors for common mental health problems among Syrian and Afghan refugees in Türkiye.

Association between polymorphisms in catechol-O-methyl transferase, opioid receptor Mu 1 and serotonin receptor genes with postoperative pain following root canal treatment.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the COMT, OPRM1, 5HT1A, 5HT2A and 5HTR3B genes on the intensity of postoperative pain following root canal treatment.

Methodology: Ninety-five patients with mandibular and maxillary molar teeth diagnosed with symptomatic apical periodontitis and a level of preoperative pain greater than 50 on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) were included. Salivary DNA was collected from the participants and stored in Eppendorf tubes at -80 °C.

Cure rates in small cell and non-small cell carcinoma of the lung utilizing high-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

From 1967 to 1977, 72 patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung were seen. Thirty-five of these patients had unilaterally localized lesions (limited disease) and were treated with cobalt 60 radiation therapy (6,000 rad in six weeks) followed by chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), vincristine, methotrexate and lomustine (CCNU) (Group A). The remaining 37 patients with extensive disease were treated with similar chemotherapy alone, or in combination with local palliative radiotherapy to the symptomatic area (Group B).
