The aim of this study was to compare to effect of phototherapy and surface flattening after immediately bleaching on the shear bond strength to bleached enamel. ⋯ The present study showed that surface removal and phototherapy have a potential clinical application for eliminate to undesirable effect of bleaching treatment. Surface conditioning with either flattening and/or phototherapy may provide clinicians to restore bleached teeth at the same visit with bleaching and reduce chair-time.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of laser application on microtensile bond strength of an orthodontic adhesive to water-aged composite.
This study evaluated the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of an orthodontic adhesive to water-aged composite surfaces using different surface treatments. ⋯ An Er,Cr:YSGG laser application may be a feasible alternative to diamond bur for enhancing the bond strength of orthodontic adhesive to composite resin.

Controlled Clinical Trial
The effect of kangaroo care on maternal attachment in preterm infants.
The study was conducted to determine the effect of kangaroo care on maternal attachment in preterm infants in Turkish mothers. ⋯ As a result of the study, it was concluded that kangaroo care positively affects maternal attachment and it is suggested that further studies should be conducted to evaluate the effect of kangaroo care on mother-infant attachment in Turkey.

Comparative Study
Comparison of delivery characteristics and early obstetric outcomes between Turkish women and Syrian refugee pregnancies.
Until September 1, 2016, Turkey hosted around 2.7 million Syrian refugees. However, data investigating the pregnancy health concerning the refugees are still limited. ⋯ We suggest that providing adequate education particularly for women in undeveloped countries and facilitating access to the tertiary hospitals have the potential to reduce unfavorable pregnancy outcomes in immigrant women.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of transparent film on the duration of pressure ulcer formation for noninvasive ventilation patients: A randomized controlled trial.
Due to the prolonged use of face mask in noninvasive ventilation, pressure ulcer is a common complication. Pressure ulcer can occur within a few hours at the site where the mask contacts in 2-70% of cases. ⋯ In this study, the use of nasal protective film (transparent film) prolonged the duration of pressure ulcer formation on the nasal bridge in patients who underwent noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
