A YOLO-V5 approach for the evaluation of normal fillings and overhanging fillings: an artificial intelligence study.

Dental fillings, frequently used in dentistry to address various dental tissue issues, may pose problems when not aligned with the anatomical contours and physiology of dental and periodontal tissues. Our study aims to detect the prevalence and distribution of normal and overhanging filling restorations using a deep CNN architecture trained through supervised learning, on panoramic radiography images. A total of 10480 fillings and 2491 overhanging fillings were labeled using CranioCatch software from 2473 and 1850 images, respectively.

Head and Neck Paragangliomas: 16-year Single-center Experience and Mini Review on Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-up.

Objective: To investigate head and neck paraganglioma cases treated at a tertiary center from 2007 to 2023. The research includes a thorough examination of published studies that have focused on long-term outcomes. The additional goal is to contribute to the existing knowledge on head and neck paraganglioma, with a particular emphasis on refining diagnostic algorithms, treatment selection, and follow-up procedures.

Effectiveness of Mulligan Mobilization Technique and Core Stabilization Exercises in Female Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Single-Blind Study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the Mulligan mobilization (MM) technique and Core stabilization (CS) exercises added to the conventional physiotherapy (CP) program in female patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Methods: The study included 42 female patients diagnosed with bilateral KOA. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups as CP group (mean age: 57.

Age and Body Size of the Endemic and Critically Endangered Frog Species (Baran and Atatür, 1986) in Türkiye.

This study used skeletochronology to assess the relationships between age and body length among individuals in a population of the Tavas Frog (), located in the Çakıroluk plateau, Tavas district, Denizli province. The age varied from 3 to 12 years in both adult males and females. The age was 2 years in two subadult males, while it was 1 year in one juvenile specimen.

Naringenin and caffeic acid increase ethanol production in yeast cells by reducing very high gravity fermentation-related oxidative stress.

Very high gravity (VHG) fermentation is an industrial-scale process utilizing a sugar concentration above 250 g/L to attain a significant ethanol concentration, with the advantages of decreased labor, production costs, water usage, bacterial contamination, and energy consumption. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most extensively employed organisms in ethanol fermentation through VHG technology. Conversely, high glucose exposure leads to numerous stress factors that negatively impact the ethanol production efficiency of this organism.

Implementing Telemedicine into Clinical Training Through Pre-recorded Video Consultations.

Although the contribution of real patient encounters to medical education is well known, challenges such as a lack of suitable cases, patients not consenting to student involvement, physical space limitations that prevent every student from participating, the inability to replicate the same patient encounter, and reduced patient admissions to healthcare facilities during extraordinary periods are common obstacles that need to be addressed in clinical education. To overcome these challenges, video consultation (VC) recordings, which were made with the consent of patients having a telemedicine consultation, were collected as an archive of medical interview recordings covering a wide spectrum of pulmonary diseases. These recordings were watched by students in a classroom setting during clinical clerkships, with case discussions interspersed.

The effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) treatment on kidney histopathological appearance on the Wistar rat models with grade five kidney trauma.

Objectives: Kidney trauma is the most common urological trauma. Technological advances have made conservative management possible for almost all kidney trauma. However, grade five kidney trauma needs to be carefully examined due to its various complications, especially late complications that often delayed in recognition thus forming irreversible morbidity, with the most common late complication is kidney damage due to ischemic and fibrotic process.

A rare disease with many faces: A multicenter registry of IgG4-related disease in children.

Objectives: We aimed to report the characteristics of pediatric IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) through a multicentre registry, to assess disease clusters, and to evaluate the performances of the 2019 American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria and the 2020 revised comprehensive diagnostic (RCD) criteria in this cohort.

Methods: Data of IgG4-RD patients in 13 pediatric rheumatology centers were recorded to a web-based registration system. The diagnosis of IgG4-RD was made according to the 2011 comprehensive diagnostic criteria.

The relationship between Fc epsilon receptor-1α and β ( and ) gene polymorphisms in patients with chronic urticaria using omalizumab.

Introduction: Chronic urticaria requires well-defined treatment strategies in order to achieve a maximum treatment response and maintain the quality of life. Since 2014, omalizumab has been used in chronic urticaria. However, many studies showed that some patients are resistant to omalizumab.

Beyond the stethoscope: ageism in white coats and resident physicians' preferences for elderly patient care.

Background: The global increase in life expectancy has significantly raised the elderly population. In Türkiye, the proportion of individuals aged 65 and over rose from 8.8% in 2018 to 10.
