Background: The prevalence of meningococcal carriage and serogroup distribution is crucial for assessing the epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease, forecasting outbreaks and formulating potential immunization strategies. Following the meningococcal carriage studies conducted in Turkey in 2016 and 2018, we planned to re-evaluate meningococcal carriage in children, adolescents and young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Methods: In the MENINGO-CARR-3 study, we collected nasopharyngeal samples from 1585 participants 0-24 years of age, across 9 different centers in Turkey.
Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following surgical repair of the mitral valve poses a significant clinical challenge. Patients who have undergone surgery are typically at high risk for a second operation. This report details the case of a 54-year-old male who underwent aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair using a 34-ring, 14 years prior.

This study aims to assess the biomechanical efficacy of various restorative materials and approaches in treating external root resorption, emphasizing their capacity to improve stress resistance and guarantee long-term success.
Methods: This research employed finite element analysis (FEA) to assess stress distribution in mandibular premolars with external root resorption.
Article Synopsis
- In Turkey, a single-dose varicella vaccine was introduced in February 2013, aiming to reduce hospitalizations related to chickenpox among children under 18 years old.
- A study analyzed hospitalization data from 2008 to 2018, comparing rates before and after the vaccine's introduction, finding a significant decrease in hospitalizations (3.79 to 2.87 per 100,000 children per year).
- The most notable reduction was in children aged 1-5 years, with a 60.2% drop in hospitalizations post-vaccine, demonstrating the vaccine's effectiveness in preventing severe cases of varicella.
The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum levels of the soluble form of triggering receptor-1 expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM-1) in neonatal meningitis. Serum sTREM-1 levels were measured in all neonatal sepsis patients at the start of antibiotic therapy and the 48th hour of treatment. At the beginning of antibiotic therapy, CSF samples were collected for sTREM-1 measurements.
