Disasters and Migration: Kahramanmaras Earthquakes

On 6th February 2023, two consecutive earthquakes occurred in our country with a magnitude of 7.8 Mw in Kahramanmaras (Pazarcik) and 7.6 Mw in Kahramanmaras (Elbistan). Due to these earthquakes and aftershocks, 48,448 people have lost their lives in Türkiye. A bi-directional and very intense population movement from/to the earthquake area after these earthquakes was observed. Knowing the residence decisions of the disaster victims is important. In the face of the “disaster of the century”, “potential or actual” disaster victims or “pseudo disaster victims”, who exhibit the behavior of disaster ...Daha fazlası

Surgical Treatment Of Symptomatic Coiling Or Kinking Internal Carotid Artery

GALİP AKHAN | ALİ GÜRBÜZ | LEVENT YILIK

Coiling of the artery is a rare morphologic entity most frequently described in the internal carotid artery. Herein we present two cases with symptomatic kinked internal carotid artery: one suffering from paresthesia of the right arm and speech disturbances and the other suffering from weakness of the left half of the body and speech disturbances. Both patients were treated surgically. None of the patients experienced any peri- or postoperative complications.

Usul As a Musical Idea: The Case of The Usul Zencir

SERKAN ÇELİK | CEM ÇIRAK

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

Ethnic differences in the soft tissue profiles of Turkish and European–American young adults with normal occlusions and well-balanced faces

ASLI BAYSAL | TANCAN UYSAL

The aim of this study was to evaluate soft tissue differences between Turkish and North American adults by comparing two sample populations with ideal occlusion and well-balanced faces. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 117 Anatolian Turkish adults (65 female and 52 male, mean age: 23.9 ± 2.8 years) were compared with a sample of 116 adults of European–American ancestry (64 female and 52 male, mean age: 25.0 ± 6.8 years). The cephalometric analyses of Holdaway, Epker, and Legan and Burstone were performed using Dolphin Image Software 9.0. Thirty-two measurements (27 linear and 5 angular) we ...Daha fazlası

Mandibular anterior bony support and incisor crowding: Is there a relationship?

İLKNUR VELİ

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that increased irregularity of the mandibular incisors is associated with a reduction in the alveolar support on cone-beam computed tomographic sections. METHODS: From a sample of 1100 digital volumetric tomographs, 125 tomographs of subjects with Class I malocclusion (mean age, 21.6 ± 4.8 years) were selected for this study. An irregularity index was used to categorize these tomographs as having mild, moderate, or severe crowding. All tomographs were taken by using an iCAT (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, Pa) ima ...Daha fazlası

Effect of LED-mediatedphotobiomodulation therapy on orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption in rats

TANCAN UYSAL

The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effects of light-emitting diode-mediated-photobiomodulation therapy (LPT), on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (TM) and orthodontically induced root resorption, in rats. Twentymale 12-week-oldWistar rats were separated into two groups (control and LPT) and 50 cN of force was applied between maxillary left molar and incisor with a coil spring. In the treatment group, LPT was applied with an energy density of 20 mW/cm2 over a period of 10 consecutive days directly over the movement of the first molar teeth area. The distance b ...Daha fazlası

Measurements from conventional, digital and CT-derived cephalograms: a comparative study

ASLI BAYSAL

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective radiographic study was to determine the reliability and reproducibility of skeletal and dental measurements of lateral cephalograms created from a computerised tomography (CT) scan compared with conventional and digital lateral cephalograms. Methods: CT and conventional lateral cephalograms of the same patients were obtained from university archives. The lateral cephalometric radiographs of 30 patients were manually traced. The radiographs were subsequently scanned and traced using Dolphin Imaging software version 11 (Dolphin Imaging, Chatswort ...Daha fazlası

Ethnic differences in dentofacial relationships of Turkish and Saudi young adults with normal occlusions and well-balanced faces

TANCAN UYSAL

Objectives: The aims of the present study were (1) to determine ethnic differences in craniofacial dimensions between Turkish and Saudi populations and (2) to identify possible gender differences between males and females, based on a sample of untreated young adult subjects with normal occlusions and well-balanced faces. Methods: In total, 163 cephalometric radiographs were traced and evaluated to compare untreated adults of Turkish and Saudi ethnicity. The Turkish group comprised 86 subjects; 45 females and 41 males. The Saudi group comprised 77 subjects; 39 females and 38 males. For st ...Daha fazlası

Comparison of craniofacial morphology, head posture and hyoid bone position with different breathing patterns
