This study aims to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and Weibull characteristics between a luting composite resin and both printable and two different machinable ceramic-glass polymer materials. A total of 36 substrates were prepared, with 12 in each group. Printable substrates (12 mm × 12 mm × 2 mm) were printed by using permanent crown resin (3D-PR).

Study Design: Newborns with gestational age ≥34 weeks were randomly enrolled to one of three groups: dextrose, massage and Kangaroo care and a blinded investigator scored the pain using NIPS before and during the procedure.
Article Synopsis
- About half of childhood and adolescent cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have symptoms that persist into adulthood, and a study suggests that immunologic stress may increase the risk of developing OCD in childhood.
- Researchers analyzed the MHC complex I and II alleles in 49 children with OCD and 277 healthy peers, using various statistical methods to interpret their findings.
- The study identified specific alleles (A2, A29, C4, DRB3.1, and DRB1*16) that are associated with a higher risk of developing OCD, and it highlights a potential link between MHC genes and OCD that reflects similar associations found in autoimmune disorders.
Article Synopsis
- * The study aimed to establish reference values for IVC and aorta diameters, as well as the mean collapsibility index in healthy, normovolemic children.
- * Results from 1,938 children showed a positive correlation between IVC and aorta diameters with age, and an overall collapsibility index of 37.2%, providing valuable reference data for clinical use.
Background: Due to the lack of a specific quality of life (QoL) survey on dentofacial deformities (DFD) for Turkish speakers, the present research aimed to perform a translation of the English version of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) into Turkish (the OQLQ-TR) and provide cultural adaptation to the Turkish population.
Material And Methods: The process of this cross-cultural adaptation followed the six stages given in the guidelines that were proposed by Beaton et al. (2000), which comprised the following: 1) performing the initial translation, 2) synthesizing the translation, 3) performing the back translation, 4) presenting it to the expert committee, and 5) testing the prefinal version.
