Osseointegration potential of boron-coated titanium alloy pedicle screw in rabbit spine model.

Background: Spinal implants' longevity is crucial, but titanium alloys, while advantageous, lack strong bone integration. This study aimed to achieve better osseointegration rates by utilizing the ability of boron compounds to transform stem cells in the vertebra into osteoblasts.

Method: Twenty male albino rabbits were divided into control (n = 10) and experimental (n = 10) groups.

Assessment of Sleep Disturbances on Mental Health in Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.

Background And Objective: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the sleep disturbances of patients diagnosed with restless legs syndrome (RLS) regarding their mental health according to the severity of the disease.

Materials And Methods: The study included 166 patients diagnosed with RLS and 161 healthy controls in the same age interval as patients. Sleep disturbances of patients were defined with the "personal information form" (PIF) prepared by the researchers, while the mental health status of patients was defined with the "Brief Symptom Inventory" (BSI).

Analysis of Volatile Constituent by Hydrodistillation and Solid-Phase Microextraction Techniques and Antimicrobial and Scolicidal Activities of Essential Oil and Soxhlet Extracts of Ulva rigida grown in Turkey.

In the present study, the volatile composition of Ulva rigida (U. rigida) was elucidated by two different methods. As a result of the identification process of volatile components using the GC/MS-FID instrument, 31 compounds were identified by hydrodistillation (HD) method, and 15 compounds were identified by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method, elucidating the structure of 99.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-two patients, 32 females and 40 males, received 255 implants. Implant-supported metal-ceramic fixed restorations were inserted.

The Comparative Effect of Carrot and Lemon Fiber as a Fat Replacer on Physico-chemical, Textural, and Organoleptic Quality of Low-fat Beef Hamburger.

This study was designed to determine the usability of lemon fiber (LF-2%, 4%, 6%) and carrot fiber (CF-2%, 4%, 6%) to produce low-fat beef hamburgers. To that end, a certain amount of fat was replaced with each fiber. The proximate composition, pH value, cholesterol content, cooking characteristics, color, texture profile, and sensory properties of low-fat beef hamburgers were investigated.

Quality of life of patients with implant-retained maxillofacial prostheses: a prospective and retrospective study.

Statement Of Problem: Clinical studies on implant-retained maxillofacial prostheses have focused on biological outcomes.
