There is no information about the shear bond strengths (SBS) of zirconia ceramic to primary tooth dentin. ⋯ The bond strength of zirconia ceramic to primary tooth dentin is affected by surface treatments and cements.

To investigate the incidence of bronchiectasis supposed to be made by the external compression of hiatal hernia (HH) to bronchi. ⋯ Thus, hiatal hernia may cause bronchiectasis due to external compression rather than lymphadenopathy or the tumor as an etiology of bronchiectasis and should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

The aim of this study was to evaluation the treatment success of the short post technique (mushroom restoration) using a composite resin in severely decayed primary anterior teeth after 6, 12, and 18 months after treatment. ⋯ The short-post (mushroom restorations) technique is a clinically acceptable alternative method for restoration of severely decayed primary teeth. This study supports the feasibility of treatment with this technique for pediatric patients treated under GA.

We aimed to evaluate the correlation between Alvarado scoring and ultrasonographic findings in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and its role in reduction of the rate of negative appendectomy. ⋯ While possibility of correct diagnosis is high in patients with an Alvarado score ≥7, the diagnosis should not be ruled out in patients with a low Alvarado score. Instead of using alone, the use of Alvarado scoring and ultrasonography together could reduce the rate of negative appendectomy and increase specificity.

Although bronchial sleeve resections were performed instead of pneumonectomy in patients with insufficient pulmonary function initially, it is currently available as an alternative to pneumonectomy even in patients with adequate pulmonary reserve. ⋯ In our study, no significant correlation was found between mediastinal lymph node invasion and overall survival. Supporting this result with multi-centered and prospective studies may encourage surgeons for sleeve resection in indicated patients had lung cancer with nodal invasion.
