Each polishing method (rubber, brush, and air polishing) was applied to the test surface of its own group.

Normal umbilical artery doppler values in 18-22 week old fetuses with single umbilical artery.

Umbilical cord with a single umbilical artery (SUA) can carry twice the blood volume of a three-vessel cord (TVC). So, the normal hemodynamics of the fetuses with SUA was different from those with TVC. Furthermore, structural abnormalities, fetal aneuploidy, and intrinsic growth retardation may be associated with the presence of a SUA.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the palatine tonsils in children with acute tonsillitis using ultrasound and SWE.

Utility of cardiac bioenzymes in predicting cardiovascular outcomes in SARS-CoV-2.

The relationship between coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and cardiovascular diseases has been an important issue. Therefore, cardiac biomarkers and cardiac imaging have an important place in the diagnostic phase. It is important to know the relationship of biomarkers in COVID-19 so that we can understand the diagnosis of the disease, the predicted course and results after diagnosis.

Shear Wave Elastography-Correlated Dose Modifying: Can We Reduce Corticosteroid Doses in Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis Treatment? Preliminary Results.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic inflammatory breast disease treated with local and systemic corticosteroids.

Clinical decisions in these situations are frequently aided by pathology reports and imaging techniques. Uncommon malignant tumors of the vascular endothelium include PHA.

Long-term lung perfusion changes related to COVID-19: a dual energy computed tomography study.

Purpose: Although the findings of acute new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) have recently been defined, the long-term changes in lung perfusion associated with COVID-19 pneumonia have not yet been clarified. We aimed to examine the longterm course of lung perfusion in COVID-19 pneumonia cases using DECT and to compare changes in lung perfusion to clinical and laboratory findings.

Methods: On initial and follow-up DECT scans, the presence and extent of perfusion deficit (PD) and parenchymal changes were assessed.

Clinical Examination Findings Can Accurately Diagnose Developmental Dysplasia of The Hip-A Large, Single-Center Cohort.

Background: Physical examination findings such as limited hip abduction (LHA), asymmetric skin creases (ASC), and a popping sensation in the hip facilitate the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Screening with a simple physical examination during the first weeks of infancy is important for early detection of the condition, and a wide range of medical professionals, including general practitioners, obstetricians, pediatricians, and orthopedic surgeons etc. are involved in this process.

Renoprotective Effect of Taxifolin in Paracetamol-Induced Nephrotoxicity: Emerging Evidence from an Animal Model.

Background: Taxifolin (TXF) is a flavonoid found abundantly in citrus/onion. Encouraging results on its renoprotective effect have been reported in a limited number of drug-induced nephrotoxicity animal models. The present study aimed to evaluate for the first time the potential renoprotective effects of TXF in a paracetamol (PAR)-induced nephrotoxicity rat model.

Treatment of Gingival Growth Due to Amlodipine Use With a 445-nm Diode Laser: A Case Report.

Amlodipine is a widely used calcium channel blocker associated with gingival enlargement. The effects of amlodipine on gingival enlargement vary depending on the duration of drug use and the dose of the active substance. This report presents a 56-year-old male hypertensive patient who had been using amlodipine (5 mg/day orally, single dose) for the last two years.

Antenatal imaging: A pictorial review.

Today, in parallel with the use of imaging modalities increases in all fields, the use of imaging methods in pregnant women is increasing. Imaging has become an integral component of routine pregnancy follow-up. Imaging provides parents with an early opportunity to learn about the current situation, including prenatal detection of anomalies or diseases, etiology, prognosis, and the availability of prenatal or postnatal treatments.

DICER1 Mutations Occur in More Than One-Third of Follicular-Patterned Pediatric Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas and Correlate with a Low-Risk Disease and Female Gender Predilection.

Some pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PPTC) cohorts have suggested a preliminary correlation with respect to DICER1 mutation status and histomorphology in both benign and malignant follicular cell-derived nodules; however, the data regarding correlates of DICER1-related sporadic PPTCs subtyped based on the 2022 WHO classification criteria are largely unavailable. The current study investigated the status of hotspot DICER1 mutations with clinical, histological and outcome features in a series of 56 patients with PPTCs with no clinical or family history of DICER1-related syndromic manifestation. Fifteen (27%) PPTCs harbored BRAF p.

Type 2 dynamic curves: A diagnostic dilemma.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with multiparametric dynamic contrast plays a critical role in the assessment of breast lesions. Dynamic curves are a critical parameter in determining the benign or malignant nature of lesions. Dynamic curves of type 1 are known to represent benign masses, while dynamic curves of type 3 are known to identify malignant masses.

Are we aware of radiation: A study about necessity of diagnostic X-ray exposure.

Background: Total exposure to ionizing radiation has nearly doubled in the last two decades. This increase is primarily due to increased computed tomography (CT) exposure. Concerns have been raised about the risks associated with patients' exposure to medical imaging radiation, which can increase a person's lifetime risk of developing cancer.

Imaging of fibroadenoma: Be careful with imaging follow-up.

The present letter to the editor is related to the study titled, "Preoperational diagnosis and management of breast ductal carcinoma in situ arising within fibroadenoma: Two case reports." Fibroadenoma is the most common benign mass lesion in young females. Based on this study showing that malignancy can develop on fibroadenomas, we want to emphasize that careful sonographic follow-up of fibroadenomas should be done and that each lesion should be followed carefully and separately in cases with multiple fibroadenomas.
