Objective: This study was conducted to determine the health belief levels of the individuals aged 40-70 years for prevention of colorectal cancer and the rates and status of their participating in colorectal cancer screening programs.
Material and Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 237 individuals who admitted to the surgery and internal outpatient clinics of a university hospital. Data were collected with a questionnaire including descriptive characteristics and colorectal cancer knowledge and behaviors of the participants and The Health Belief Model Scale for Protection fr ...Daha fazlası
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bacteremia associated with an orthodontic
stripping procedure. Methods: The study included 29 orthodontic patients (mean age, 18.2 6 3.4 years). We
used a standardized stripping procedure: a perforated stripping disk with a contra-angle hand piece was used
at a low speed (\15,000 rpm; 10 seconds) on the mandibular anterior teeth. Blood samples were collected
by inserting a cannula into the left antecubital fossa. A baseline sample was taken before treatment, and
a second sample was taken after the stripping procedure. T ...Daha fazlası
Thyroid function tests were performed on 44 patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and on 35 healthy children as the control group. In the panent group total triiodothyronin (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), free triiodothyronin (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were found in wholly normal ranges. These values have shown no significant difference with respect to those of die control group (p>0.05). It was snüdng that -13 %, 41 % and 55 % of the padents were under 3 percentile according to length, weight and head circumference respectively. Thyroid funcdon tests of ...Daha fazlası
This study investigated Holothuria tubulosa, Gmelin 1791 in the Dardanelles Strait from April 2013 to March 2014, in order
to outline the morphological characteristics, reproductive patterns and the relationship between population characteristics and
environmental parameters. 15 to 30 individuals of this species were sampled monthly at three stations. There was a negative allometry
between length and weight, with gutted weight being the most reliable measurement for this species. The reproductive
patterns of the species were identified for the first time for examples from the Turkish coast ...Daha fazlası
Objective
We evaluated the detachment force, amount of deformation, fracture mode, and pull-out force of 3 different wires used for bonded lingual retainer fabrication.
Methods
We tested 0.0215-inch five-stranded wire (PentaOne, Masel; group I), 0.016 × 0.022-inch dead-soft eight-braided wire (Bond-A-Braid, Reliance; group II), and 0.0195-inch dead-soft coaxial wire (Respond, Ormco; group III). To test detachment force, deformation, and fracture mode, we embedded 94 lower incisor teeth in acrylic blocks in pairs. Retainer wires were bonded to the teeth and vertically directed force was ap ...Daha fazlası
The levels of heavy metals viz., Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn and Al were determined by ICP-AES in the
muscles and total bodies of Mullus barbatus (Linnaeus 1758), Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus 1758),
Engraulis encrasicolus (Linnaeus 1758) captured from the coast of Sinop. The order of the levels of
the heavy metals in the total fish samples was Fe > Zn > Al > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cd, whereas in the
muscles, the order was Zn > Fe > Cu > Al > Pb > Ni > Cd. The experiment results are discussed by
comparison with literature values.
The aim of this follow-up study was to evaluate the effects of Pre-Orthodontic Trainer (POT) appliance on the anterior temporal, mental, orbicularis oris, and masseter muscles through electromyography (EMG) evaluations in subjects with Class II division 1 malocclusion and incompetent lips. Twenty patients (mean age: 9.8 ± 2.2 years) with a Class II division 1 malocclusion were treated with POT (Myofunctional Research Co., Queensland, Australia). A group of 15 subjects (mean age: 9.2 ± 0.9 years) with untreated Class II division 1 malocclusions was used as a control. EMG recordings of treatment ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To study and compare the effects of different demineralizationinhibition
methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) and fracture mode of an
adhesive used to bond orthodontic brackets to demineralized enamel surfaces.
Methods: Eighty freshly extracted, human maxillary premolars were divided
into 4 equal groups and demineralized over the course of 21 days. Brackets were
bonded to the demineralized enamel of teeth in Group 1. In Group 2, bonding
was performed following resin infi ltration (ICON®, DMG, Hamburg, Germany).
Before bonding, pre-treatment with acidulated phosphate fluor ...Daha fazlası
Evaluating the fundamental components of traditional Turkish music, particularly the concepts of "usul" (rhythmic composition) and "makam" (musical mode), as well as their significance in the composition and performance of works, has been a focus not only in musical practice but also in academic music studies. Nevertheless, certain issues pertaining to the functional analysis of rhythms, especially the larger rhythmic cycles, such as what they inherently represent in musical reality, how they are utilized, comprehended, and what roles they play in the composition and performance processes, hav ...Daha fazlası
To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS), fracture mode, wire pull out (WPO) resistance and microleakage between low-shrinking and conventional composites used as a lingual retainer adhesive. Methods: A total of 120 human mandibular incisor teeth, extracted for periodontal reasons, were collected. Sixty of them were separated into two groups. To determine the SBS, either Transbond-LR (3M-Unitek) or Silorane (3M-Espe) was applied to the lingual surface of the teeth by packing the material into standard cylindrical plastic matrices (Ultradent) to simulate the lingual retainer bonding area. To t ...Daha fazlası
