Assessing the accuracy, repeatability, and consistency of ChatGPT 4o in treatment planning for tooth-supported fixed prostheses: a comparative analysis of simple and complex clinical cases
No full textObjectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT 4o in planning tooth-supported fixed prostheses by examining the accuracy, repeatability, and consistency of its responses across various prosthodontic cases.Materials and methods1,140 responses were generated for 38 questions regarding simple and complex prosthetic cases, using case schemas from Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics. Each question was asked 30 times at different times of day (morning, afternoon, and evening) to assess response consistency.ResultsChatGPT demonstrated high accuracy (97.08%) for simple fixed prostheses but struggled with complex cases, showing a low accuracy rate of 19.69%. Statistically significant differences were observed in the response accuracy between question categories, indicating that ChatGPT performs better with straightforward cases than with complex ones. Repeatability was high across all question types, though accuracy varied, especially in complex scenarios.ConclusionsThe findings highlight ChatGPT's potential as an assistive tool in simple prosthodontic cases yet emphasize the need for clinician expertise in more complex treatment planning.Clinical relevanceWhile ChatGPT shows promise as a supplementary tool for dental education and practice, reliance on AI alone for intricate cases remains premature

Anahtar Kelimeler: Ameliyathane, Cep Telefonu, Nomofobi, Dikkat Dağınıklığı, Farkındalık, Hemşirelik, Geçerlik, GüvenirlikThe aim of this study is to adapt the Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use in the Operating Room Scale into Turkish and to examine the effect of nomophobia levels of operating room staff on teamwork, awareness and distraction. The research consists of two stages, methodological and cross-sectional type. In the methodological research, language validity was ensured by using the translation-back translation method of the Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use in the Operating Room Scale, for which the necessary permissions were obtained. Content validity was applied with the Davis technique by taking expert opinion. After the expert opinion, a pilot application was made and the scale was finalised. Data were collected online between 18 December 2023 and 31 March 2024. The study was conducted with 85 operating room staff who were older than 18 years, volunteered to participate in the study, and had been working for more than 1 year. Sociodemographic and Occupational Characteristics form and Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use Scale were used for data collection. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlation were calculated for reliability analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied for construct validity. Ethics committee and written permission from the employees were obtained. It was determined that the Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use in the Operating Room Scale was linguistically appropriate. The content validity index of the scale was found to be 0.938. The Cronbah alpha value of the scale was 0.825 and the item-total score correlation was between 0.218-0.745. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, ?2/SD ratio was 2.526, GFI 0.902, CFI 0.932, SRMR 0.080, and RMSEA 0.078, indicating that the fit indices were 'excellent' and 'good'. Two possible questions were included in the scale. It was determined that the Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use in the Operating Room Scale was adaptable to the Turkish language and was a reliable and valid measurement tool. Between 1 April and 1 November 2024, 167 operating room employees who were over 18 years of age, volunteered to participate in the cross-sectional study, and had been working for more than 1 year were included in the cross-sectional research phase. Sociodemographic and occupational characteristics form, Leiden Operating Theatre And İntensive Care Safety Scale - Teamwork And Awareness Subscale, Nomophobia Scale and Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use in the Operating Room Scale were used to collect the data. The mean age of the operating theatre staff who participated in the study was 28.4±4.9 years and 53.5% of them were operating theatre nurses. The mean nomophobia scale score of the operating room staff was 81.1±25.6. It was determined that 29.3% of the employees had mild nomophobia, 44.9% had moderate nomophobia, and 25.7% had severe nomophobia. The mean scores of the Leiden operating theatre and intensive care safety scale-teamwork and awareness subscale were 34.0±5.0. The mean score of the distraction scale due to mobile phone use in the operating theatre was 44.8±6.6. Nomophobia level predicted teamwork and awareness (p<0.05). One unit increase in the nomophobia rate of an operating theatre employee with moderate nomophobia compared to an operating theatre employee with mild nomophobia causes an increase of 1.829 in teamwork and awareness scores. One unit increase in the nomophobia rate of an operating theatre employee with severe nomophobia causes an increase of 2,261 in teamwork and awareness scores. Occupation and nomophobia level predicted mobile phone-related distraction (p<0.05). Being an operating theatre worker in the nursing profession causes a decrease of 5.037 in the distraction scores due to mobile phones in the operating theatre. While a mild level of nomophobia does not predict mobile phone-related distraction, having moderate nomophobia causes an increase of 1.941 in mobile phone-related distraction scores. Having severe nomophobia causes an increase of 4,410 in mobile phone distraction scores. It was confirmed that the Distraction Due to Mobile Phone Use in the Operating Room Scale was a valid and reliable tool. It was concluded that teamwork and awareness and distraction increased in those with moderate and severe nomophobia level compared to mild nomophobia level.

The ocular surface and meibography in unilateral facial paralysis
No full textClinical relevance: Facial paralysis (FP) often leads to ocular surfacedisorders due to delayed or incomplete blinking. Background: This study aimed to evaluate the ocular surface andmeibomian glands (MG) in patients with unilateral FP. Methods: A total of 26 patients with unilateral FP were included.Invasive tear film break-up time (TF-BUT), ocular surface staining score,Schirmer II test, total eyelid score, and MG secretion score were assessed.Non-contact meibography was used to evaluate the percentage of MG loss area,meiboscore, and morphological features (thickening, thinning, tortuosity,fluffy areas, shortening, ghost areas) of the MGs. Results: TF-BUT and Schirmer II test values were significantlylower in the FP group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). The Oxfordstaining score, MG expressibility score, and total eyelid score weresignificantly higher in the FP group (p < 0.001, p = 0.003, and p = 0.005,respectively). Meiboscore values were higher in both the upper and lowereyelids in the FP group compared to the control group, with a statisticallysignificant difference only in the lower eyelid (p = 0.270 for upper and p = 0.039 for lower). The presence of MG thickening wasremarkable in the FP group. The House-Brackmann grade was identified as theonly independent factor affecting both upper and lower eyelid meiboscores. Conclusion: Facial paralysis impairs ocular surface parameters andincreases lid margin abnormalities. It is associated with higher meiboscoresand deterioration in meibomian gland morphology
Unveiling the biological activity of Ocimum basilicum through nano graphene oxide foliar application with chemical and organic fertilizers broadcasting
No full textAchieving sustainable agricultural production through nanotechnology offers a promising approach to enhance both crop yield and quality. This study evaluated the effects of foliar graphene oxide nanoparticle (nGO) applications at 100, 200, 300, and 500 mg L--(1) on the biological activity of basil (Ocimum basilicum L. var. dino) grown with chemical fertilizer (Ch) (NPK: 90:60:60 kg ha(-)(1)) or farmyard manure (F) (30 t ha(-)(1)). Field trials were arranged based on a split-plot design in the randomized complete block with three replications, consisting of 11 plots (Control, F, Ch, F + nGO(100), F + nGO(200), F + nGO(300), F + nGO(500), Ch + nGO(100), Ch + nGO(200), Ch + nGO(300), Ch + nGO(500)). Over two years (2022-2023), two cuttings were conducted annually. Increasing nGO doses reduced essential oil (EO) content. GC/FID-MS analysis identified linalool (48.8-57.92%) as the predominant EO component, followed by eugenol (16.62-26.24%), 1,8-cineole (5.11-10.66%), cis-alpha-bergamotene (3.37-8.05%), and gamma-cadinene (1.38-2.67%). While nGO did not affect leaf extract antioxidant activity, it significantly influenced EO samples. While the highest DPPH and FRAP activities of EO were 68.22% and 253.5 mu g TEs ml(-)(1), respectively, these parameters were found to be 88.35% and 250.30 mu g TEs mg(-)(1) for the extracts. The highest total phenolic content (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC) in extracts were 96.09 mu g GAE mg(-)(1) and 8.78 mu g QE mg(-)(1), respectively. FT-IR analysis revealed no detectable nGO residues in the dried leaves. The principal component analysis (PCA) and heatmap analyses segregated applications into four groups, explaining 60.5% variance in basil's antioxidant and EO profiles.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUEBITAK) [123O277]; Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Bolu Abant Idot;zzet Baysal University [2023-TDR-6.12.57-0005]This research was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUEB & Idot;TAK) with project no. 123O277, as well as the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Bolu Abant & Idot;zzet Baysal University with project no. 2023-TDR-6.12.57-000
Evaluation of the frequency of hard tissue augmentation material usage in dental implant surgery based on different specialties
No full textAim:This study aimed to investigate the preference profiles of periodontists and oral, dental and maxillofacial (ODM) surgeons regarding graft and membrane biomaterials used in sinus augmentation and horizontal/vertical augmentation procedures. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 180 specialists in ODM Surgery (n = 90) and Periodontology (n = 90) who were employed in state institutions or the private sector between February 2021 and August 2021. The surveys collected demographic data and information on various factors, including specialty, years of experience as a specialist, the number of implants placed in the past year, the proportion of patients requiring hard tissue augmentation, and the types of biomaterials and barrier membranes used in sinus and horizontal/vertical augmentation procedures. Results: Periodontists reported more frequent use of autogenous and combined grafts in sinus augmentation proce- dures, whereas ODM surgeons tended to use these materials occasionally (p < 0.05). Xenografts were widely used by both groups, with no significant difference in sinus augmentation. In horizontal augmentation, periodontists favored resorbable collagen membranes, while ODM surgeons more often used non-resorbable barriers. In vertical augmen- tation, both specialties commonly employed combined grafts and non-resorbable membranes, but periodontists showed a higher preference for xenograft-based combinations. Conclusion: This study highlights that xenografts and resorbable membranes are the most widely used materials in clinical practice, with preference patterns differing based on the clinician's specialt

No full textABSTRACT Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the quality, reliability, and readability of online information on Haglund deformity. Methods: The three most popular browsers were selected, and two reviewers categorized the websites by type. The quality of each site was assessed based on its adherence to the HONcode and evaluated using scoring instruments like the DISCERN, JAMA benchmark, and GQS. The Flesch-Kincaid grade level (FKGL) score was utilized to evaluate the readability of the websites. Results: Academic webpages exhibited markedly superior ratings in DISCERN, JAMA, GQS, and HCS compared to other subcategories (p<0.05). Websites with a HON code also demonstrated higher scores across most metrics, except for FKGL and FKRS. However, readability scores indicated that much of the content was above the recommended comprehension level for the general public. A strong positive correlation was observed between DISCERN and JAMA scores (r=0.935; p<0.05), while a negative correlation was noted between FKRS and HCS scores (r=-0.723; p<0.05). Conclusion: The study highlights significant variability in the quality and accessibility of online information on Haglund deformity. While academic sources offer higher-quality information, their complexity may limit public understanding. These findings emphasize the need for accessible, high-quality online resources to enhance patient education and support informed decision-making.ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Haglund deformitesi ile ilgili çevrimiçi bilgilerin kalitesini, güvenilirliğini ve okunabilirliğini değerlendirmektir.

Anatomical and Morphological Characteristics of Salvia pachystachya Trautv. (Lamiaceae) and Phytochemical Profiling and Bioactivities of Its Essential Oils and Extracts
No full textSalvia pachystachya is a medicinally promising plant species, yet its pharmacological properties remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate its anatomical, phytochemical and bioactive characteristics to assess its therapeutic potential comprehensively. Microscopic analysis revealed distinctive anatomical features, including quadrangular stems and glandular trichomes on leaves, providing valuable insights into the plant's structural properties. Phytochemical profiling of methanol and aqueous extracts identified chlorogenic acid as the major component (11,052.88-25,718.77 ng/mL), while essential oils were predominantly composed of phytol (48.4%) and caryophyllene oxide (26.2%). The total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity analyses showed that the methanol extract exhibited significant ABTS center dot+ scavenging activity (90.06%). Bioactivity assays demonstrated the plant's antidiabetic, anticholinesterase and antimicrobial properties. The LC-MS/MS analysis of extracts revealed that chlorogenic acid was the most abundant secondary metabolite among the analysed compounds, with significant variations across different plant parts and extraction solvents. The highest concentration was detected in the aerial part methanol extract (34,885.06 ng/mL), followed by the flower methanol extract (25,718.77 ng/mL). Genotoxicity assessments, including Ames, Escherichia coli WP2, and Allium cepa tests, confirmed the nongenotoxic nature of the extracts. Furthermore, molecular docking indicated strong binding affinities of chlorogenic and quinic acids to target enzymes, supporting their therapeutic relevance. These findings highlighted S. pachystachya as a promising candidate for further pharmacological research, particularly for its potential in combating oxidative stress-related conditions such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Ataturk University [BAP TYL-2024-13913]The study was supported by the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Ataturk University under project number BAP TYL-2024-13913
Can We Determine Osteoarthritis Severity Based on Systemic Immuno-Inflammatory Index?
No full textBackground: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common joint diseases. Hematologic markers have been investigated to determine its severity and predict the prognosis of joint diseases. In this study, we investigated whether the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) is a marker for assessing the severity of OA. Methods: The records of patients diagnosed with OA at various stages between 1 January 2020 and 1 January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients aged 18-75 years with complete blood count within the last 15 days and not taking anti-inflammatory drugs were included in the study. Patients were classified according to the Kellgren-Lawrance classification as stage 1-2-3 mild to moderate OA (Group I) and stage 4 severe OA (Group II). A total of 1580 patients were diagnosed with knee OA and 946 were included in the study. Of the patients, 246 (26%) were male and 700 (74%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 61.00 (53.00-68.00) years. Results: There were 449 (47.5%) patients in Group I and 497 (52.5%) patients in Group II. Statistically significant differences were found between the groups in age, gender, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, and SII (p < 0.05). An SII value of 627.9 was found to distinguish severe OA from mild-moderate OA with 42.5% sensitivity and 70.6% specificity. Conclusions: Although this study is the first in the literature, it shows that SII has limited predictive value in assessing the severity of knee OA. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to establish causality and explore therapeutic implications
Upshot of Some Bioactive Compounds on Angiogenesis in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells
No full textNowadays, the use of monoclonal antibodies to target angiogenic signalling pathways is common, but, unfortunately, the clinical activity of these agents is limited. Thus, the development of approaches targeting multiple pathways for anti-angiogenic effect will lead to increase the clinical benefit. For this purpose, oleuropein, hesperidin, piperine, proanthocyanidins and retinoic acid, which have previously been proven to be bioactive components, anti-angiogenic performances were experimentally tested in retinal pigment epithelial cells. Bioactive ingredients were applied to retinal pigment epithelial cells at varying doses for 48 h, and then IC50 doses were calculated by MTT analysis. VEGFA and VEGFR1 protein levels were measured by ELISA analysis. Using the RT-PCR technique, the mRNA expression levels of EGF, EGFR, PDGF, PDGFR-beta and HIF1A were analysed. Among all bioactive compounds, the bevacizumab group showed the best anti-VEGF activity, followed by the proanthocyanidins and piperine groups. Piperine group showed EGF, PDGF and HIF1A expressions; proanthocyanidins, on the other hand, reduced EGFR, PDGF and HIF1A expressions. Retinoic acid showed an angiogenic effect by increasing VEGFA protein levels and EGF and PDGFR-beta expressions. Although hesperidin increased VEGFA protein levels, it decreased EGF, PDGF, PFGFR-beta and HIF1A expression levels. Among the bioactive components stated in previous studies to have anti-angiogenic properties, only proanthocyanidins and piperin had anti-VEGF properties. Considering that angiogenesis does not proceed only through VEGF, this study investigated and reported for the first time the effects of relevant bioactive components on angiogenesis through different mechanisms in retinal pigment epithelial cells

Sağlık çalışanlarının algılanan aşırı vasıflılık düzeylerinin işten ayrılma niyetleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanın kendisini vasıflı olarak algılamasının işinden ayrılmaya niyetlenmesi bakımından yeterli olmadığı söylenebilir. Araştırma, incelenen sorunsal ve ulaşılan sonuçlar bakımından özgün bir nitelik taşımaktadır. Farklı örneklemlerle konunun yeniden ele alınması ve farklı değişkenlerle incelenmesi önerilmektedir.Aim: This study was conducted to examine the effect of perceived overqualification levels on turnover intentions among healthcare personnel working in a public hospital. Method: For this quantitatively designed research, the sample was selected from health care professionals actively working in a public hospital in Afyonkarahisar province. The convenience sampling method was used to reach the relevant sample and to provide data for the research. The data of the study were collected by using ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Perceived Overqualification Scale’ and ‘Turnover Intention Scale’. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, along with Pearson correlation and regression analysis. Results: In the research findings, it was determined that participants’ intention to to leave their jobs was was low (2.02±1.03) and their perceived overqualification level was moderate (3.27±0.74). Perceived overqualification levels of health care workers were found to have no significant effect on their turnover intentions. Conclusion: It can be concluded that healthcare workers' self-perception of themselves as qualified is not sufficient to determine their intention to leave their jobs.The research is unique in terms of the problematic analysed and the results obtained. It is suggested that the issue should be re-examined with different samples and examined with different variables
