Efficacy of amniotic fluid, blood and urine samples for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women candidates for amniocentesis using serological and molecular techniques.

Backgrounds: Toxoplasmosis, a prevalent parasitic infection, is primarily caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). This infection poses a significant threat to neonates during pregnancy and individuals with compromised immune systems.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Associated with Blastocystis hominis or Without Relationship to It? A Case-Control Study and Minireview.

Background: Blastocystis hominis (B. hominis) is a protozoan parasite that has a worldwide distribution. Some studies have suggested a link between B.

Fibrous dysplasia associated with peripheral giant cell granoluma in maxilla in a young patient, a case report of rare hybrid lesion.

Benign fibro-osseous lesions are a diverse range of entities that have distinct clinical and radiographic features. They can occur as solitary lesions or concomitant with other pathologies as hybrid lesions. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) accompanied by central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) or peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) as hybrid lesions, is reported very rarely in the literature.

Diode Laser Irradiation Effects on Miniscrew Stability and IL-1β and TGF-β1 Levels: A Split-Mouth Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

This study aimed to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on miniscrew stability and concentrations of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1) in peri-miniscrew crevicular fluid in the course of orthodontic treatment. This randomized split-mouth double-blind clinical trial evaluated 18 patients requiring anterior retraction along with maximum anchorage. Miniscrews were placed between the maxillary second premolar and first molar.

Survival Rate and Cervical Bone Loss of Dental Implants Placed in Regenerated Areas with Free Iliac Graft.

Statement Of The Problem: For many years, practitioners have been encountered with dental rehabilitation of atrophic jaws. Among many of alternatives, free iliac graft can be a reasonable and also problematic choice to be accomplished.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the implant survival rate and bone loss in implants inserted in reconstructed jaws with free iliac graft.
