Radiographic evaluation of the prevalence of enamel pearls in a sample adult dental population.
Enamel pearls are a tooth anomaly that can act as contributing factors in the development of periodontal disease. Studies that have addressed the prevalence of enamel pearls in populations were scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of enamel pearls in the permanent dentition of Turkish dental patients by means of panoramic radiographs. ⋯ With the prevalence of 5.1% among the Turkish population, every possible effort should be made for locating of this anomaly especially in molars because it might be useful for prevention periodontal problems.

Study on plasmatic metabolomics of Uygur patients with essential hypertension based on nuclear magnetic resonance technique.
Metabolomics is the analysis of the global constitution of endogenous metabolites in cells, tissue, and bodily fluids based on analysis techniques with high output, high sensitivity, and high resolution. The physiological and pathological state of the subject investigated could be identified and analyzed through examining metabolite changes. In this study, 1H-NMR metabolomics was employed to study plasma metabolites of both Uygur patients with hypertension and healthy people, thereby filtering out characteristic metabolites for Uygur patients with hypertension. The pathogenesis of hypertension was discussed via metabolic pathways. ⋯ The 1H-NMR metabolomics process, in combination with OPLS-DA pattern identification, is an effective way to differentiate the serum metabolites characteristic of hypertension patients. Pattern identification analysis of NMR spectrum data with OPLS-DA could identify metabolites of hypertension patients versus healthy subjects. The metabolic phenotype of Uygur hypertension patients shows significant heteromorphosis, with the 12 characteristic metabolites as potential biomarkers of hypertension.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe relationship between blood lactate, carboxy-hemoglobin and clinical status in CO poisoning.
We aimed to determine the relationship between blood lactate, carboxy-hemoglobin (COHb) levels and the severity of clinical findings in patients with CO poisoning. ⋯ According to our study, blood lactate and COHb levels were both correlated with the changes of consciousness in CO poisoning. Blood lactate levels together with COHb in defining indications for HBO treatment might be suggested.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of a high monounsaturated vs high polyunsaturated fat hypocaloric diets in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Hyperaminotransferasemia is an important problem in obese patients. We decide to examine the changes in hyperaminotransferasemia after weight reduction in obese patients with and without NAFLD secondary to a high monounsaturated fat vs. a high polyunsaturated fat hypocaloric diets. ⋯ We showed that weight reduction secondary to two hypocaloric diets was associated with improvement in hypertransaminasemia and insulin resistance in NAFLD patients.

Impact of perioperative lidocaine infusion and bis monitorization on remifentanil dosage in hypotensive anesthesia.
Combination of local and regional anesthetic agents are widely used in emergency and surgical setting and the interaction between the medications used in general anesthesia and these local and/or regional anesthetic becomes a growing concern in current patient management system. The interaction between general anesthetic agents and the local anesthetic agents given epidurally, spinally, intravenously or intramuscularly and the effects of BIS monitorisation on combined propofol-remifentanil anesthesia are examined in several studies. In literature, there is no research investigating the effect of lidocaine infusion on remifentanil and anesthetic dosage used in hypotensive anesthesia. The aim of this study is to examine this effect. ⋯ We found no statistically significant difference between two groups about different parameters. But new investigations with different local anesthetic agents may show sigificant difference and usage of these local anesthetic agents may be advised.
