Background: Hospital emergency departments (EDs) are confronted with managing dental emergencies of both traumatic and non-traumatic origin. However, the literature suggests inadequate knowledge of the management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) among medical professionals. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitudes regarding management of TDIs among Istanbul ED physicians.

- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy is the initial treatment for large and complex bile duct stones, but 10-15% of these stones remain difficult to remove, necessitating repeat ERCPs.
- This study investigates the effectiveness of using multiple biliary stents in treating patients with large and multiple choledochal stones, comparing outcomes with those who had a single stent.
- Results showed significant size reduction of stones and decreased cholestatic enzyme levels in both groups, indicating that multiple stents can effectively manage complex cases and reduce the need for invasive surgeries.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess oxidative stress and detoxification mechanisms in various tissues (liver, lungs, kidneys, heart) and mitochondria of rats with diabetes induced by streptozocin (STZ).
- The researchers anesthetized the rats, collected and stored tissue samples, and measured levels of various oxidants and antioxidants.
- The results indicated that while levels of certain oxidants were elevated in diabetic rats, oxidative stress did not significantly develop compared to the control group, and detoxification systems showed no major differences.
Calcium phosphate ceramics are generally biocompatible and can develop interactions with human recipient bone. Therefore, they can be widely used in the field of periodontology and dentistry. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the long-term histological bone healing results of experimentally created critical size parietal bone defects in rats.
