Evaluation of the Effects of MTA Apexification and Regenerative Endodontic Therapy on Lesion Healing using Fractal Analysis: A Retrospective Study.

Aim: A comparison between mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification and regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) in immature permanent teeth is pivotal for optimising treatment outcomes and enhancing clinical decision-making. Understanding the efficacy, limitations and long-term implications of each approach is essential for achieving predictable, successful outcomes when managing immature teeth with necrotic pulps. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the changes in the periapical bone using fractal dimension (FD) on the periapical radiographs of patients who underwent apexification and RET.

Development of a scale for measuring university students' attitudes toward oral health.

Purpose: Valid and reliable scales which have been developed for assessing individuals' attitudes toward oral health and are based on multiple theoretical views are limited in number in the literature. Hence, there is a need for more scale development studies for further evaluation of the psychometric properties of the oral and dental health attitudes of students. The aim of this study was to develop a scale for measuring college undergraduates' attitudes toward oral and dental health.

New Styryl 1,3,4-Oxadiazol-Based Fluorometric "Turn on" pH Sensor.

A new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative (MeO-SODA) was synthesized, fully characterized by means of IR, NMR and HRMS data and and additionally, its ability to detect extremely acidic pH values ​​was examined. Firstly, the characteristic behavior of MeO-SODA was examined in ten different solvents, revealing that it underwent non-radiative transitions as the hydrogen bonding capacity of solvent increased. Secondly, the absorption and fluorescence measurements for MeO-SODA were conducted across various pH levels (pH 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12), with fluorescence emission observed exclusively at pH 2.

The efficacy and application of tranexamic acid in emergency medicine: Emergency Medicine Association of Türkiye clinical policy- 2024.

The clinical policy of the Emergency Medicine Association of Türkiye (EMAT) provides guidance on the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in emergency settings. TXA, an antifibrinolytic drug, is used to control bleeding by inhibiting plasminogen. Its applications have expanded from hemophilia and severe menstrual bleeding to include various forms of trauma and surgery-related bleeding.

Computed Tomography Parameters for Prognosis Prediction in Non-Occlusive Mesenteric Ischemia.

BACKGROUND Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is difficult to diagnose and has a high mortality rate. We aimed to determine the qualitative and quantitative parameters of computed tomography (CT) that can determine patient prognosis and contribute to early diagnosis in order to reduce mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS The biphasic CT images of 40 patients, mean age 72.

The amelioration effects of ankaferd blood stopper, platelet gel, and Momordica charantia on peripheral nerve injury in the rats: a stereological and ultrastructural study.

Peripheral nerve injuries are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Peripheral nerve injuries most commonly result in serious problems affecting quality of life. The present study is designed to research the possible neuroprotective effects of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and Momordica charantia (MC) on regeneration using unbiased stereological techniques.

Bioenergetic shift and proteomic signature induced by lentiviral-transduction of GFP-based biosensors.

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) stand as pivotal tools extensively employed across diverse biological research endeavors in various model systems. However, long-standing concerns surround their use due to the numerous side effects associated with their expression. Recent investigations have brought to light the significance of hydrogen peroxide (HO) that is associated with the maturation process of green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorophores.

Controversial terminology in root and canal anatomy: A comprehensive review.

Discipline-specific terminology is a central element of the vocabulary used by dentists and scientists in the context of their professional activities and plays a critical role in the understanding of dentistry. A number of controversial terms and non-standardized definitions exist in the field of endodontology. For example, in root and canal anatomy, variations exist in the definitions of root morphology (including apical bifurcation, fusion and dilaceration), pulp chamber anatomy (including the outline of the floor, pulp horns and location of the root canal orifice), apical root canal bifurcations, canal isthmuses, accessory canals and apical foramen.

Ameliorative effects of humic acid and L-tryptophan on enzyme activity, mineral content, biochemical properties, and plant growth of spinach cultivated in saline conditions.

Salinity poses a significant abiotic stress that limits plant productivity, thereby posing a serious threat to agricultural sustainability and worldwide food security. Techniques that can overcome this problem are needed. Recent focus has been placed on employing organic substances like humic acid (HA) and amino acids, including L-tryptophan (L-TRP), to mitigate the negative effects of salt stress on cultivated plants.
