Fabry disease in familial Mediterranean fever according to the severity of the disease.

Objectives: Mutations in the α-galactosidase A (GLA) gene result in Fabry disease (FD), a rare metabolic condition. FD patients present with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, which may overlap with systemic diseases including familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of FD in patients with mild and severe FMF and to prevent misdiagnosis by increasing clinicians' awareness.

Effect of structured individual and combined education on blood glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Although various approaches have been used in diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs, the effect of DSME programs on glycemic control is controversial. This study aimed to compare the effects of structured individual education and combined education on glycemic regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study included T2DM patients who applied to the Ust Kaynarca Diabetes Center between 1 January 2018 and 11 March 2020.

A comparison of the radiopacities of CAD-CAM restoratives: Effect of thickness.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiopacities of CAD-CAM materials using digital techniques.

Methods: Five different CAD-CAM materials were used (Cerasmart, LAVA Ultimate, Cerec Blocs C, Tetric CAD, and IPS e.max CAD) in this study (n= 5).

The Association Between Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Arrival Temperatures and Short-Term Outcomes of Neonates with Moderate and Severe Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy.

Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment method that is known to reduce mortality and neurological sequela rates in newborns with moderate and severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We aimed to evaluate the relationship between rectal temperatures measured upon arrival to our unit and short-term outcomes in newborns with HIE/TH. This was a retrospective study conducted between January 2022 and January 2023.
