Objective: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidental prevalence of heterotopic soft tissue calcifications in the neck region, on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images, and their relationship with age and sex. Methods: A total of 6620 CBCT images were examined. CBCT images of 503 patients aged between 20 and 86 years were included in the study. Patients were grouped into five age groups: 20-30 (N = 132), 31-40 (N = 68), 41-50 (N = 92), 51-60 (N = 104), and 61 and above (N = 107). The images were assessed according to the presence of lymph node calcification, carotid artery calcification, thyroid cartilage, and triticeous cartilage calcification in the neck region. Descriptive statistics, crosstabs, and chi-square tests were used for data analysis. The significance level was set to 0.05 Results: At least one calcification was detected in 372 (73.9%) patients. The difference between the prevalence of each calcification according to age groups was statistically significant. A significant relationship was found between the presence of carotid artery calcification and the sex variable (p< .05). The presence of other calcifications did not show statistically significant differences associated with sex (p> .05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed a significant amount of soft tissue calcification in the neck region. The most common calcifications were thyroid cartilage calcifications, and the least common calcification was lymph node calcification.

Objective: Sensitive skin is a dermatological condition that is frequently observed and causes discomfort in individuals. Therefore, individuals with sensitive skin must carefully choose skin care and makeup habits. Our aims in this study were to conduct the first sensitive skin prevalence study in Turkey and to identify skin care and makeup habits. Methods: An online prospective controlled survey study was conducted among 1037 women. Participants with and without sensitive skin aged >18 years were included in the 3-month study. Results: Of the participating women, 82.73% were found to have sensitive skin. The most sensitive part of the face was the cheek (p < 0.001). Therefore, blush was the least frequently used by individuals with sensitive skin (p = 0.008) Conclusion: Sensitive skin is an important social and medical problem. The skin care and makeup habits of individuals with sensitive skin should be examined in detail and more help should be provided by dermatologists to these individuals.

The hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a group of rare disorders characterized by persistently high peripheral blood eosinophiles (≥ 1.5x109/L), and related signs or symptoms of organ involvement without secondary causes. Eosinophilia with recurrent genetic abnormalities (PDGFRA/B, FGFR1) comprises a minority of these patients. In this report, we aimed to point out a case with 4q12 deletion whose diagnosis and treatment were delayed for quite a while. The patient was followed for bronchial asthma for a long time and the recognition of hypereosinophilia yielded a suspicion for HES / Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL). During the initial part of his diagnostic evaluation, there was an unawareness of the cryptic deletion which was a target for tyrosine kinases. The symptoms resolved and complete cytogenetic response was achieved with 100 mg imatinib continuing for 57 months.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an online nutrition training program about the Mediterranean diet for 8 weeks in overweight and obese female high school students on anthropometric measurements and diet quality. Methods: A total of 86 students between the ages of 14-18 years were included in the study, and they were divided into two groups as nutrition training (n=44) and control groups (n=42). The Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) scores were calculated and anthropometric measurements of groups were taken by the dietician at the beginning and at the end of the study. Results: The KIDMED score of the nutrition training group was 4.59±2.40 at the beginning, later on it increased to 7.43±2.57 after the program (p= .001). After the program, it was determined that the difference between the KIDMED scores of the nutrition training and control groups were statistically significant (p= .034), however the decrease in body weight (p= .09), BMI (p= .64), and waist circumference (p= .06) were similar between groups. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it can be said that online nutrition training program about the Mediterranean diet for 8 weeks may affect the diet quality positively of overweight and obese female adolescents, but long-term programs should be planned to determine the effects on anthropometric measurements.

Objective:. This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the surface roughness (Ra) and color stability of novel monolithic CAD-CAM materials after thermomechanical aging. Methods: Forty specimens were obtained from 4 different materials (a resilient ceramic (C), ceramic-reinforced PEEK (BH), lithium disilicate glass ceramic (EX), and a resin based composites (B) (n=10). Initial Ra and color coordinates were recorded. All specimens were than subjected to thermomechanical aging. Ra and color coordinate measurements were repeated. CIEDE2000 formula was used to calculate the color changes (ΔE00). Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests were used to analyze data, while the effect of aging on Ra was analyzed with Wilcoxon test (α=.05). Results: Regardless of aging, BH showed higher Ra than EX (P.05). Ra of ceramic-reinforced PEEK was above clinical threshold, regardless of thermomechanical aging. Conclusion: Thermomechanical aging caused a color change that was perceptible for all the materials tested, while it was also unacceptable for ceramic-reinforced PEEK.

Objective: Odontogenic infections are one of the most common pathologies in the oral and maxillofacial regions. The spread of odontogenic infections after unsuccessful or late treatment can lead to serious complications. The aim of this study is to examine the epidemiological features and treatment management of patients with odontogenic facial abscesses. Methods: This retrospective study included 88 patients with odontogenic facial area abscesses treated at Afyonkarahisar health sciences university, faculty of dentistry’s maxillofacial surgery clinic between 2019-2021. The socio-demographic, socio-economic characteristics and clinical examination findings of the patients and treatment methods for odontogenic abscess were analyzed comprehensively. Data were evaluated using SPSS-20 and the level of significance was set at p < .05. Results: In the two-year period between 2019 and 2021, 88 patients (44 male and 44 female, mean age was 39.72±16.42) were treated for diffuse facial infections of odontogenic origin. The most commonly involved area was the submandibular area (38.6%), the most affected tooth was mandibular 1st molar and mandibular 3rd molars (18.2%), and the most common cause was dental caries (65.90%). Incision and drainage were performed in half of the patients (36.4% intraoral, 13.6% extraoral). The most commonly used drugs were clindamycin (36.4%), amoxicillin-clavulanate, and ornidazole combination (27.3%). Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that odontogenic abscesses can heal without complications with timely and effective basic interventions such as incision and drainage. In this study, successful results were obtained with the parenteral clindamycin, and a combination of oral amoxicillin-clavulanate and ornidazole in the treatment of odontogenic abscesses.

Objective: While television continues to exist in many homes, it is thought that the situation of children being affected by the frequency of watching television is an important issue that is overlooked. This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of counselling given to parents and teachers depending on the TV watching frequency of children going to pre-school education institutions on their emotional behavioural problems. Methods: The study was conducted as an experimental study with pre-test – post-test control group. Data were collected by using ‘Family Introduction Form’, and ‘Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire’. Data were analysed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The study found significant differences between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the families and teachers in the experimental group and control group for the total score of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the mean scores of all subscales, as well as significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores in the experimental group for intra-group analysis (p< .05). Conclusion: The study found that the counselling training given to parents and teachers lead to a significantly positive change in the mean scores for emotional, behavioural, and peer problems as well as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders and it also has a significant positive impact on the TV watching duration of children.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pregnancy-related low back pain, kinesiophobia, and physical activity during the third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: Fifty-one pregnant women between the ages of 18-40, at the gestational age of 27 weeks and above were included in the study. The intensity of pregnancy-related low back pain was assessed with the Numerical Pain Scale, kinesiophobia with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and physical activity levels with the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: Only 4 (7.8%) subjects had high levels of physical activity, 12 (23.5%) had moderate, and 35 (68.6%) had low levels of physical activity. A strong positive correlation was found between low back pain and kinesiophobia in the third trimester of pregnancy (r = 0.796; p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between low back pain and physical activity or between kinesiophobia and physical activity (r=– 0.097; p= 0.498 and r= – 0.212; p= 0.135 respectively). Conclusion: Pregnancy-related low back pain can cause kinesiophobia during pregnancy, and kinesiophobia may cause limitations of movements.

The intensity of pregnancy-related low back pain was assessed with the Numerical Pain Scale, kinesiophobia with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and physical activity levels with the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. \u0000Results: Only 4 (7.8%) subjects had high levels of physical activity, 12 (23.5%) had moderate, and 35 (68.6%) had low levels of physical activity. A strong positive correlation was found between low back pain and kinesiophobia in the third trimester of pregnancy (r = 0.796; p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between low back pain and physical activity or between kinesiophobia and physical activity (r=– 0.097; p= 0.498 and r= – 0.212; p= 0.135 respectively). \u0000Conclusion: Pregnancy-related low back pain can cause kinesiophobia during pregnancy, and kinesiophobia may cause limitations of movements.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Turkish society and identify COVID-19-related obsessions and predictive factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed with 859 volunteer participants. Data were collected using an online questionnaire between 01 and 08 June 2020. A sociodemographic information form, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), and Obsession with COVID-19 Scale (OSC), were used as data collection tools. Data were analysed using SPSS 20 statistical software. Results: The mean age of the participants was 40.41± 13.69 (18-70), 55.3% were women, and %63.7 were married. Cleaning habits increased during the pandemic in 76% of the participants. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms were 36.9%, 42.3%, and 18.2%, respectively. Depression was severe or very severe in 6.3% of the participants, anxiety in 15.4%, and stress in 4.3%. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was determined in 11.3% of the participants, and COVID-19-related obsessions in 17.6%. Obsessions were greater in the variables of eating (r= 0.26, p
