Does the modified inferior border osteotomy improve the surgical outcomes in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy?

Background: To investigate the effect of lower border osteotomy on the lingual split pattern and IAN in BSSO procedures.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 32 patients (64 operated sides) who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) due to dentofacial abnormalities between the periods of April 2021 and April 2022. In the mandible, 32 sides (the conventional group) received standard BSSO surgery, while 32 sides (the modified group) additionally received lower border osteotomy.

Electrochemical sensor for the analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the presence of cytosine using pencil graphite electrode.

In recent years, important efforts have been made to elucidate the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation, and one of the most studied epigenetic modifications was DNA methylation/demethylation. In this study, the voltammetric behaviour of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine was studied in the pH range of 2.00-11.

Which factors affect the lingual fracture pattern in sagittal split ramus osteotomy?

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of mandibular anatomy and osteotomy technique on lingual fracture patterns in SSRO. The predictor variables were: length of horizontal medial osteotomy; type of border osteotomy; buccolingual width; and vertical length of the basal cortex. The outcome variable was the type of lingual split pattern.

Recent trends in core/shell nanoparticles: their enzyme-based electrochemical biosensor applications.

Improving novel and efficient biosensors for determining organic/inorganic compounds is a challenge in analytical chemistry for clinical diagnosis and research in biomedical sciences. Electrochemical enzyme-based biosensors are one of the commercially successful groups of biosensors that make them highly appealing because of their low cost, high selectivity, and sensitivity. Core/shell nanoparticles have emerged as versatile platforms for developing enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors due to their unique physicochemical properties and tunable surface characteristics.

Clinical, biochemical, and genotypical characteristics in urea cycle mitochondrial transporter disorders.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate clinical, biochemical, and genotypic findings of patients diagnosed with urea cycle mitochondrial transporter disorders.

Case Series: In this study, patients followed up with the diagnosis of urea cycle mitochondrial transporter disorders in the pediatric metabolism outpatient clinic of Diyarbakir Children's Hospital were retrospectively examined. Height, weight, head circumference, gender, age at diagnosis, follow-up period, consanguinity history between parents, and treatments of the patients included in the study were evaluated.
