Hepatitis B in Isolated Anti-HBc Carriers: Predictors of Detectable HBV DNA and Implications for Risk-Stratified Screening

Background/Objectives: Isolated anti-HBc (IAHBc)—anti-HBc reactivity without HBsAg or anti-HBs—may indicate occult HBV infection (OBI) and confers reactivation risk under immunosuppression, yet most evidence derives from single specialties. We assessed the frequency, predictors,...

Effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength of one-step and two-step universal adhesives to enamel and dentin

This study evaluated the effect of surface treatments on the shear bond strength of one- and two-step universal adhesives applied to enamel and dentin. Eighty extracted human molars were allocated to five experimental conditions: etch-and-rinse phosphoric acid application, Er:YAG...

Comparative assessment of occlusal and proximal caries detection using an intraoral scanner and panoramic radiography

Recently, fluorescence-based caries detection has been integrated into intraoral scanners as a radiation-free adjunctive tool for caries assessment. However, evidence regarding the agreement of these systems with conventional diagnostic methods remains limited. Therefore, the aim...

Comparative Analysis of Novel Inflammatory Indices for Predicting Relapse in Granulomatous Mastitis: Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio Emerges as the Superior Biomarker

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a chronic inflammatory breast disease with high relapse rates. We aimed to identify novel inflammatory indices predicting GM relapse, establish optimal cut-off values, and determine independent predictors through multivariate analysis. This retrospe...

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...
