Effect of Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) design on the fracture resistance of implant-supported monolithic zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns: an in vitro study

Ti-base abutments with angulated screw channel (ASC) designs have been developed to address the esthetic challenges associated with labial screw access in anterior implant-supported single crowns, as well as the ergonomic limitations caused by restricted mouth opening in posterio...

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography-Based Anatomic Mapping of Maxillofacial Foramina: Development of a Novel Proportional Guide for Facial Aesthetic Procedures

OBJECTIVE: Anatomic safety and aesthetic harmony are of critical importance in facial aesthetics and surgical procedures. This study aims to evaluate whether the distance ratios among the supraorbital, infraorbital, and mental foramina conform to the golden ratio (φ=1.618). METHO...

Efficacy of Beta-Aminopropionitrile, Contractubex®, Nigella sativa Oil, Aloe Vera Oil, and Soybean Oil in Preventing Postoperative Adhesions in an Experimental Thyroidectomy Model

<title>Abstract</title> Background/Aim: Adhesions in reoperative thyroid surgery lead to prolonged operation times and an increase in postoperative complications. The use of anti-adhesive agents during the initial surgery may reduce the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve inju...

Preoperative Naples Prognostic Score and outcomes after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective cohort study

Inflammatory and nutritional status may refine risk assessment before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study evaluated the association between preoperative Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) and early and follow-up outcomes after isolated CABG. This single-center retrospec...

Integrated Prognostic Stratification After Perioperative FLOT in Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: A Multicenter Real-World Study

Background/Objectives: Outcomes after perioperative FLOT for gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma remain variable, even among patients treated with curative intent. Although postoperative pathological findings are central to risk assessment, they do not fully capt...

Age-related effects of comprehensive in-patient physiotherapy after lung cancer surgery across age groups: an ambispective observational cohort study in middle-aged and older patients

Abstract Background Postoperative recovery after lung cancer surgery may be influenced by age, comorbidity burden, and perioperative rehabilitation strategies. However, evidence regarding the age-related effects of structured early inpatient physiotherapy programs remains limited...

Exploring Immersive Virtual Reality as an Approach to Improve School Participation–Related Constructs in Children With ADHD

ABSTRACT Background School participation is frequency and involvement from person–environment transactions, not diagnosis, per the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the family of participation‐related constructs (fPRC). In this framework...

Effectiveness of Movement Representation Techniques in Chronic Non-Specific Spinal Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background and Objectives: Movement representation techniques (MRTs), including motor imagery and mirror therapy, have been investigated in several chronic pain conditions; however, their effectiveness in chronic non-specific spinal pain (CNSP) has not been specifically synthesiz...

Evaluation of postoperative pain associated with different working length determination methods: a randomised clinical study

Abstract Background Postoperative pain is a common concern in endodontic treatment. In teeth with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis, accurate working length determination is critical for effective root canal therapy and may influence postoperative discomfort. This study compared...

Comparison of clinical and dermoscopical nail findings of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis: A prospective study

Psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are chronic inflammatory disorders classified as immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). Although these diseases share common pathogenic mechanisms, they can affect diffe...

Impact of adjuvant endocrine therapy on disease-free survival in early triple-positive breast cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study of the Turkish oncology group

Triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC), characterized by concurrent ER, PR, and HER2 positivity, poses unique therapeutic challenges due to ER–HER2 crosstalk. The optimal adjuvant endocrine therapy in TPBC patients receiving anti-HER2 regimens remains poorly defined. This multicent...

Machine Learning-Based Sex Classification Using Linear Dimensions of the Talocrural Joint

Background: Pelvic and cranial markers are often fragmented in mass disasters. The resilient talocrural joint serves as a valuable secondary site. This study presents a novel 12-landmark configuration on conventional 2D AP ankle radiographs as a rapid, cost-effective auxiliary se...

Marginal gap formation and fracture strength of indirect inlay restorations cemented with preheated resin composites: an in vitro study

Abstract Background Optimal marginal adaptation and adequate fracture strength are critical for the long-term clinical success of indirect posterior restorations. Preheated resin composites have been proposed as alternative luting agents; however, their effects on marginal integr...
