    Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Atroshi–Lyrén 6-Item CTS Symptoms Scale in Unilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    Objective: This study aimed to assess the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the Atroshi–Lyrén 6-Item carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) Symptoms Scale (A–L Scale-Tr) and to examine its associations with patient-reported outcome measures, including the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) and Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH). Methods: A forward-backward translation procedure was performed following international guidelines. Sixty-two patients with unilateral CTS were invited to complete the A–L Scale-Tr. The test-retest reliability, convergent, and discriminant validity were evaluated. Results: The A–L Scale-Tr revealed high values of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.854), and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.93-0.98). In the A–L Scale-Tr the factor structure was found optimal and explained 58.39% of the variance. The validity analysis showed strong correlation with night pain (r = 0.821), moderate correlation with BCTQ Symptoms Severity Scale (r = 0.564) and BCTQ Functional Status Scale (r = 0.453), QuickDASH (r = 0.474), pain at rest (r = 0.557), and pain at activity (r = 0.497) (P < .001). Conclusions: It was found that the A–L Scale-Tr has good reliability and construct validity for symptom severity assessment in CTS. The A–L scale will be useful to clinicians and researchers in Turkish patients

    Zincir Fast Food Restoran İşletmesinin Farklı Ülkelerde Uyguladığı Menülerin İçerik Yönünden Karşılaştırılması

    Küreselleşme ile birlikte birçok uluslararası zincir fast food restoran işletmesi menülerinin Dünya genelinde standartlaştırdığı modeller tercih etmiştir. Bunun yanında bazı zincir fast food işletmeleri ise standartlarını korurken hitap ettikleri ülkenin yeme içme alışkanlıkları, örf adet ve dini özelliklerine uyum gösteren yerel menüleri de oluşturarak müşteri memnuniyetini karşılamayı amaçlamışlardır. Bu çalışma ile ülkelere göre değişen menülerin; ülkelerin mutfak kültürleri ve yeme-içme alışkanlıklarına yansımaları sonucu ülkelere göre oluşan farklılıkların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Uluslararası zincir fast food restoran işletmelerinin farklı ülkelerdeki menülerinin içerik yönünden karşılaştırılması amacıyla, hizmet verdiği ülkelerde o ülkenin yeme içme alışkanlıkları, kültürü ve dini kısıtlamalarına uygun yerel menülere de yer veren Domino’s Pizza’nın 2025 yılından itibaren en çok şubesinin olduğu ilk 5 ülke başkentleri (ABD, Hindistan, İngiltere, Çin ve Meksika) ile Türkiye’de Ankara’daki Domino’s Pizza’nın resmi menüleri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi uygulanmıştır.Anahtar kelimeler: Fast Food, Zincir Restoranlar, Menü İçeriği</p

    Comparative Effects of Rubber Dam and Traditional Isolation Techniques on Orthodontic Bracket Positioning: A 3D Digital Model Evaluation

    Dental professionals face an increased risk of exposure to biological fluids, aerosols, and droplets due to close patient contact, which heightens the risk of infectious diseases. Rubber dam, commonly used in dentistry, not only isolates treatment areas but also reduces aerosol and droplet dispersion. Accurate orthodontic bracket positioning is crucial for optimal treatment, and isolation techniques like rubber dam and traditional methods are essential for ensuring precise bracket placement and bonding. This study aims to compare the effects of rubber dam and traditional isolation techniques on orthodontic bracket positioning using 3D digital models, while also evaluating the impact of these methods on the patient's chair time during the procedure. The study group (RDI-Rubber Dam Isolation) included individuals isolated with a rubber dam, while the control group (TI-Traditional Isolation) consisted of those isolated using retractors and cotton rolls. Digital models were taken from these groups before bracketing (BB) and after bracketing (AB). BB models were transferred to the OrthoanalyzerTM program for virtual bracketing and a virtual bonding model (VB) was created. AB and VB models were superimposed in the GOM InspectTM program in order to determine the accuracy of the bracket positions. Linear measurements were taken along the X, Y, and Z axes, while angular measurements were recorded on the XY, XZ, and YZ planes. There was no significant difference in deviation values along the X-axis between the RDI and TI groups. In both groups, the lowest deviation values in linear measurements were found in the Z-axis, while the highest deviation values were found in the Y-axis. In the Y-axis, it was found that the deviation values were higher in the RDI group for tooth numbers 32 and 33, and in the Z-axis, the deviation values were higher in the RDI group for tooth numbers 34 and 44. In angular measurements, it was observed that in the XY plane, the deviation values in tooth number 35 were higher in the TI group. RDI proves to be an effective method for ensuring accurate bracket positioning in orthodontic procedures when compared to traditional isolation techniques. Especially considering infectious diseases, the use of RDI is considered appropriate
