To study the role of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). ⋯ HIF-1α was up-regulated in DN patients, which might give clinical basis to the role of HIF-1α in the development of DN.

Sharp and penetrating object injuries (SPOIs) are seen frequently in forensic medicine practice. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively investigate cases with SPOIs. ⋯ Considering that stab injuries are more frequent in the lower age groups, we believe that such injuries could be reduced by increasing training programs for young people.

Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) are at significant risk by means of periodontal disease and tooth decay. Pharmacological techniques that require intensive care such as sedation and general anesthesia are generally used for dental treatment of this patient group. ⋯ We concluded that it is necessary to consider the dosage and effect mechanisms of drugs used in children with CP to prevent overuse of anesthetics and emergence of anesthesia-related complications.

The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture strength and cuspal deflection of endodontically treated premolars restored using different composite resins along with or without fiber post application. ⋯ Endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber post and bulk-fill or conventional composite resins demonstrated fracture strength values similar to intact teeth.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparative analgesic efficacy and tolerability of celecoxib and tramadol on postoperative pain after mandibular third molar extraction: A double blind randomized controlled trial.
The choice of an efficacious and well-tolerated analgesic for the control of postoperative pain after third molar surgical extraction remains a challenge. ⋯ In our study, celecoxib was more efficacious and better tolerated than tramadol for the management of pain after surgical extraction of mandibular third molar.
