This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in patients with bilateral temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) and its correlations with clinical and radiological findings. A total of 95 patients with bilateral TMJ-OA diagnosed by CBCT were included in the study. Clinical and radiological findings and bone mineral density (BMD) scores were recorded. Descriptive statistics and the Spearman rho correlation tests were performed. Osteopenia/osteoporosis was found in 44 of 95 patients (46.32 %) (30, osteopenia; 14 osteoporosis). Osteopenia/osteoporosis is significantly associated with postmenopausal status and age over 40 years, but it is not associated with clinical and radiological findings of TMJ-OA. Patients with bilateral TMJ-OA have a high prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis.

Department of Pediatric Urology, Riley Hospital for Children, Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN, United States.
Introduction: The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends urology referral and surgery for undescended testicle (UDT) before 18 months of age, but it has been shown that many referrals occur later, influenced by social factors.
Objective: This study aims to identify key social factors that impact UDT referral timing and appropriateness.

Noninfectious Uveitis in Pediatric Rheumatology: Long-term Follow-up at Tertiary Centers.
J Clin Rheumatol
March 2025
From the Department of Pediatric Rheumatology, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Medical School.
Objectives: Our study aimed to identify potential predictors for additional systemic involvement in patients with noninfectious uveitis, specifically focusing on their demographic, etiological, clinical, and laboratory data features from the pediatric rheumatology perspective.
Methods: Patients with noninfectious uveitis before the age of 18 years and followed up for at least 3 months in 2 tertiary centers of pediatric rheumatology and ophthalmology departments were included in the study. Demographics, etiology, clinical features, laboratory data, and treatments administered were evaluated and compared based on the etiology (idiopathic and systemic disease-related uveitis [SD-U]) and the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
