Background: To evaluate longitudinal radiographic outcomes, exploratory radiographic response, and planned versus unplanned revision burden after magnetically controlled growing rod treatment in patients with early-onset scoliosis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 55 patients...

CBCT assessment of inferior alveolar canal and surrounding bone morphology in long and short hemimandibles across mandibular asymmetry severity

This study aimed to compare inferior alveolar canal and surrounding bone morphology between the long and short hemimandibles at three anatomical levels relevant to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and to determine whether bilateral morphometric differences vary according...

The Effect of Group Voice Therapy via Telepractice on Voice Fatigue in Preschool Teachers

ABSTRACT Background Although in‐person and face‐to‐face voice therapies have been used for years in professional voice users with voice fatigue, limited research examining the outcomes of group voice therapy via telepractice is available. Aims This study investigated the effectiv...

A novel chatter-resistant boring bar design with lattice structure and non-Newtonian fluid

Due to the low dynamic stiffness of long boring bars, chatter is a significant challenge for boring operations, resulting in poor surface finish and reduced tool life. Various passive chatter suppression techniques have been developed to enhance their dynamic performance, includi...

Geometric ornament as material knowledge: Ethnogeometric structures of spatial cognition

This article proposes a method for analysing recurring geometric relationships in Chalcolithic Botai material culture in northern Kazakhstan. Ornamented artefacts, dwelling architecture and settlement layout are examined without assuming a single symbolic code or historical conti...

Purpose To describe the first reported case of Potocki–Shaffer syndrome (PSS) associated with Brown syndrome and to expand the ocular phenotype of this rare contiguous gene deletion syndrome.Methods Retrospective case report with multidisciplinary ophthalmologic, neurologic, radi...

Consent architecture in biobanking: ethical attitudes and consent preferences among people with cancer and caregivers

Ethical and socially accountable biobanking depends on public trust and informed consent. Understanding how people with cancer and caregivers view biospecimen use is essential for designing consent models that respect autonomy and reflect cultural values. This study examined cons...

Indigenization reimagined: Tracing 60 years of epistemic shifts in social work scholarship

This article systematically maps the trajectory of indigenization in social work through a bibliometric analysis of 1001 peer-reviewed articles published between 1965 and 2025, drawing on Scopus and Web of Science data. Using descriptive and thematic analyses, it identifies publi...

Real‐World HRR Testing Pathways and Patterns of Detected Alterations in Prostate Cancer From the Multinational ARON‐3 Study

ABSTRACT Background Homologous recombination repair (HRR) testing is increasingly relevant in prostate cancer because it identifies patients who may benefit from biomarker‐guided treatment strategies, including poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). However, real‐world i...

Association between mandibular plane angle and mandibular condylar head volume in adults with skeletal Class III deformity indicated for orthognathic surgery: a CBCT study

Abstract Background Mandibular condylar morphology varies with craniofacial pattern, but the association between mandibular plane angle (MPA) and specifically defined condylar head volume in skeletally mature adults with skeletal Class III deformity remains insufficiently charact...

Physicochemical composition, mineral variation, and solvent‐dependent antioxidant assay responses of garlic samples from different geographical origins in Türkiye and black garlic produced from Kastamonu garlic

Abstract Background This study compared the physicochemical composition, mineral profile, and antioxidant‐related properties of garlic from seven geographical origins in Türkiye and black garlic from Kastamonu. The effects of extraction solvent on total phenolic content (TPC), to...

Spectral Characteristics of Impulsive Schrödinger Equations With Boundary Spectral Parameter

ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of an impulsive Schrödinger equation under an impulsive condition. First, we find the Jost solution and some special solutions of the problem. Using these solutions, we give the resolvent operator of the impulsive pro...
