Gingival recession treatment with concentrated growth factor membrane: a comparative clinical trial
No full textObjective: This clinical trial sought to evaluate the clinical
effectiveness of concentrated growth factor (CGF) and compare it with
connective tissue graft (CTG) with coronally advanced flap (CAF) in the
treatment of Miller Class I gingival recessions (GR). Methodology: This
split-mouth study included 74 Miller Class I isolated (24 teeth) or
multiple (50 teeth) GRs in 23 jaws of 19 patients. GRs were randomly
treated using CGF (test group: 37 teeth; 12 teeth in isolated GRs, 25
teeth in multiple GRs) or CTG with CAF (control group: 37 teeth; 12
teeth isolated GRs, 25 teeth in multiple GRs). Clinical variables,
plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), recession
depth (RD), recession width (RW), clinical attachment level (CAL),
keratinized tissue thickness (KTT), keratinized tissue width (KTW), and
root coverage (RC) were assessed at the baseline as well as at three and
six months post-surgery. Healing index (HI) were obtained in the second
and third weeks post-surgery. Postoperative pain was assessed for the
first seven days using a horizontal visual analog scale (VAS). Results:
No significant change was observed in PI, GI, or PD values in either the
intergroup or the intragroup comparisons. A statistically significant
decrease was observed in CAL, RD, and RW, and KTT increased in all
groups at three and six months compared with the baseline. The control
group had greater increases in KTW, KTT, and RC at three and six months.
No significant difference was found in CAL or RD at the third and sixth
months between the two groups. Healing was found to be similar for both
groups in the second and third weeks post-surgery. The VAS values in the
control group were higher than in the test group, especially at the
second, fourth, fifth, and seventh days postoperatively. Conclusions:
CTG is superior to CGF with CAF for increasing KTT, KTW, and RC. CGF may
be preferable due to decreased postoperative pain

No full textEvaluation of employee postures in building construction with different ergonomic risk assessment methods
No full textThe construction sector is one of the locomotive sectors for both Turkey
and the World. Although the construction sector has an important
economic place, it is one of the sectors where work accidents and
occupational diseases are most common. Due to the excessive amount of
manual transport in the construction sector, musculoskeletal disorders
are more common. In the current study, a total of 39 working positions
in 4 different tasks were analyzed by REBA, OWAS, and QEC risk
assessment methods in order to determine the differences between methods
and to determine the appropriate method for building construction
activities. When the evaluation results were analyzed with the Kruskal -
Wallis test, the QEC method output was separated from the other methods.
Additionally, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was conducted,
with a total of 93 workers doing different tasks in building
construction to map the working body pain. According to the results of
the survey, the Worker Body Pain Map was created for 4 different tasks.
When the results of the survey are examined, the employees have more
``Low back{''} disorders. Among the tasks evaluated, the riskiest tasks
were ``Brick / Plaster Works{''} and ``Scaffolding Works
Determination of prognostic factors of surgically treated pathological Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer
No full textBackground: This study aims to identify the prognostic factors in Stage
IIIA non-small cell lung cancer and to investigate whether there was a
significant difference in terms of overall survival and disease-free
survival among the subgroups belonging to this disease stage.
Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2018, a total of 144 patients
(125 males, 19 females; median age 60 years; range, 41 to 80 years) who
were operated for non-small cell lung cancer in our clinic and whose
pathological stage was reported as IIIA were retrospectively analyzed.
Data including demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients,
histopathological diagnosis, the standardized uptake value of the mass
on positron emission tomography-computed tomography, tumor diameter,
type of surgery, lymph node metastasis status, visceral pleural
invasion, and overall and disease-free survival rates were recorded.
Results: The median survival was 39 (range, 27.8 to 46.1) months and the
five-year overall survival rate was 28\%. The mean tumor diameter was
4.3 +/- 2.7 cm. The median disease-free survival was 37 (range, 28.1 to
48.6) months and the five-year disease-free survival rate was 26.9\%. In
the multivariate analysis, overall survival and disease-free survival in
T2N2M0 subgroup were significantly worse than the other subgroups. The
other poor prognostic factors of survival were the standardized uptake
value of the tumor, pneumonectomy, and histopathological subtypes other
than squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Parietal pleural
invasion was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival
rates.
Conclusion: Our results showed that there may be significant survival
differences between subgroups created by tumor histopathology, lymph
node invasion and the type of surgery in a heterogeneous lung cancer
stage
