Article Synopsis
- - Rock climbing (RC) is being explored as a therapeutic option for enhancing mental health in adolescents, particularly for issues like anxiety and depression, due to its combination of physical and mental engagement.
- - The study involved 57 athletes and 91 non-athlete adolescents, using various psychiatric assessment tools to examine the impact of RC on mental health.
- - Results indicated that athletes showed lower anxiety scores compared to non-athletes, particularly for Separation Anxiety Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, although some other measures did not show significant differences.
Objective: Pineal gland volume (PGV), which is associated with sleep and circadian rhythm, is known to be changed in some psychiatric disorders such as major depression, mood disorders and schizophrenia. This study aimed to compare the PGV of children with mild and moderate intellectual disability (ID) and healthy children.
Methods: This multicentre retrospective study included 40 children with ID (patient group), aged 6-12 years and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy children (control group).
This study aimed to investigate anxiety, depression levels, and emotional/behavioral problems of children and adolescents while being treated in the COVID-19 unit. The present study included 50 children who were COVID-19 positive, aged 7-18 years, and 50 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. The sociodemographic data form and Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child Version (RCADS-C) were applied to all children, and all families were asked sociodemographic data form, Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Parent Version (RCADS-P), and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).

Methods: The study included 34 children aged 2-7 years diagnosed with ASD (ASD group) and 34 randomly selected healthy children matched for age and sex to the ASD group. The children were free of any genetic or physical disease, clinically active infection, or medication use.
Comparison of Dental and Skeletal Age Estimating Methods in Children.
Acta Stomatol Croat
March 2023
Objectives: Estimating age is a crucial determinant of forensic science. Various methods have been used to estimate dental age (DA) and skeletal age (SA).The aim of the current study was to compare the Cameriere's DA method with the Cameriere's SA method in estimating CA in children.

Materials And Methods: Packable composite Filtek Z250 was used in one group (PC-G) and flowable composite Filtek Supreme Ultra Flowable was used in the other group (FC-G). PC-G and FC-G groups were also divided into three subgroups as diamond bur+silane (Group 1), 50 μm aluminium oxide (Al O ) sandblasting+silane (Group 2) and 110 μm Al O sandblasting+silane (Group 3).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of reverse headgear (RHG) treatment combined with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the trabecular structure of the mandibula using fractal dimension (FD) analysis.
Methods: Forty-four individuals with skeletal Class III malocclusion were selected from the archives and divided into two groups as patients who underwent treatment with RME + RHG (RHG-G, 22 patients) and untreated control group (C-G, 22 patients). The before (T0) and after (T1) treatment lateral cephalometric and panoramic radiographs were collected in the RHG-G and in the control group, radiographs obtained with similar time intervals were grouped as T0 and T1.
Bullying in individuals with cleft lip and palate: A Twitter analysis.
Int J Clin Pract
November 2021
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate bullying in individuals with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) using Twitter analysis.
Materials And Methods: By using Twitter's advanced search feature, the four selected keywords; "bully", "bullying", "bullied" and "teased" were searched along with the terms "cleft lip and palate", "cleft lip" and "cleft palate", respectively. A total of 1010 tweets meeting the criteria were selected.
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the psychopathology behind gynecomastia and potential associated problems regarding self-esteem and body perception, and the relationships of these variables with sex steroid levels in adolescents with pubertal gynecomastia.
Methods: The study included 50 normal weight male adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years with gynecomastia but without any chronic organic pathology, and 50 healthy pubertal male adolescents matched for age. The adolescents underwent psychopathology assessment by Development and Well-Being Assessment interviews; self-esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale; body perception was evaluated using the Body Image Perception Scale, and the relationship between these variables and sex steroid levels were explored.
Objectives: To compare the transfer accuracy of four different lingual retainer (LR) transfer methods using three-dimensional digital models.
Materials And Methods: Four groups of 17 patients each were created: finger transfer (FT), silicone key transfer (SKT), acrylic resin transfer (ART), and indirect bonding (IDB). At the end of orthodontic treatment, the mandibular dental casts of patients were scanned with the LR wire.
