    Abstract Purpose: By comparing the densitometry findings of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and the healthy group, we aimed to understand the possible changes that may occur in the cornea and lens in those with diabetes mellitus (DM).
    Design: Prospective, cross-sectional study.
    Methods: A total of 60 eyes of 60 patients with T1DM and 101 eyes of 101 healthy subjects were included in this study. A complete ophthalmologic evaluation was performed in all participants. Scheimpflug tomography was performed to record the corneal and lens densitometry and other tomographic data. Mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and mean DM duration were recorded.
    Results: The mean age of the patients with T1DM and patients in the control group was 29.93 ± 8.56 years and 27.27 ± 1 4.96 years, respectively. The mean HbA1c was 8.43 ± 1.92, and the mean DM duration was 14.10 ± 7.77 years. Corneal densitometry (CD) values were significantly higher in the 0- to 2-mm zone in all layers and in the anterior and central 6- to 10-mm zone in the diabetic group (P = .03, P = .018, P = .001, P = .000, P = .004). The mean crystalline lens densitometry was higher in the T1DM group (P = .129). There were positive correlations between DM duration and CD in the anterior 0- to 2-mm (P = .043), central 6- to 10-mm (P = .016), posterior 6- to 10-mm (P = .022), and posterior 10- to 12-mm zone (P = .043).
    Conclusions: CD values were significantly higher in the diabetic group. Diabetes duration and HbA1c values showed correlations with densitometry especially in the 6- to 10-mm corneal zone. Evaluation of the cornea with optical densitometry will be useful in the early diagnosis and follow-up of clinical structural and functional changes in the cornea.

    Abstract Extraction of permanent first molars (P1Ms) could create gaps, tipping and/or rotating of neighboring teeth, which depend on the extraction timing. This study evaluated the outcomes of P1Ms extraction in children who were classified based on their permanent second molar's (P2Ms) dental calcification at the time of extraction. In this retrospective study, the evaluations were made for 406 panoramic radiographs (PRs) of children aged 7-14 years who had single P1M extracted. Twenty-nine children having pre- and post-treatment PRs were selected based on the inclusion criteria. First, 2 groups were formed based on the extraction time by using the pre-treatment PRs; Early extraction group (EE) (n = 15) including Nolla Grades 5-6-7, and late extraction group (LE) (n = 14) including Nolla Grades 8-9-10 for P2Ms. Then, the inclination degrees of neighbouring teeth on extraction side and contralateral quadrant (non-extraction) side were measured by using the post-extraction PRs. Mann-Whitney U test was employed, and the statistical significance was set at

    Abstract The aim of this study is to determine the levels of anxiety and readiness among medical students regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and examine the relationship between these factors. The research was conducted on medical students, and the data was collected through face-to-face and online surveys between April and June 2022. The study utilized a socio-demographic information form, an AI anxiety scale, and a medical AI readiness scale. The data collected from a total of 542 students were analyzed using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Cronbach's α coefficient was used for reliability analysis. A path diagram was created using AMOS 24, and structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was applied. The findings of the study indicate that medical students have a moderate level of readiness and a high level of anxiety regarding AI. Furthermore, an inverse relationship was found between AI readiness and AI anxiety. These results highlight the importance of increasing the preparedness of medical students for AI applications and reducing their anxieties. The study suggests the inclusion of AI in the medical curriculum and the development of a standardized curriculum to facilitate its teaching.

    Abstract Prompt and accurate diagnosis of polymicrobial bacteremia, which causes the difficulty in anti-infective treatments, poor treatment outcome and high mortality, is essential for initiating effective antimicrobial therapy. Here we present a case of bacteremia caused by two types of uncommon bacteria, Lactobacillus jenseniand and Veillonella montpellierensis in a 29-year-old pregnant woman at 33 weeks of gestation with anemia due to iron deficiency. She had no comorbidity or other chronic illnesses and was successfully treated with appropriate antibiotic use.

    Abstract Background: Nurses play an important role in the healthcare team and are closely involved in the daily care of patients. Sometimes, they are involved in the care of terminal patients, who may thus be confronted with difficult end-of-life decisions such as euthanasia. Therefore, it is important to determine the views on euthanasia of nursing students who will work in health care and prepare them for such situations in their professional life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of euthanasia education on nursing students' opinions.
    Methods: Pretest-posttest single group semi-experimental method was used in the study. Data were obtained with two surveys carried out both before and after education. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact tests were used to analyze.
    Results: Euthanasia education provided students with a different perspective. The results indicated that 56.4% of the students that they knew about euthanasia partially enough before education. After the training, 65.5% of them indicated that they had enough knowledge. Rate of those who are undecided on many questions before education decreased.
    Conclusions: Education can significantly change nursing students' approach to euthanasia and provides ethical awareness. Euthanasia and related topics should be added to the curriculum. Students should be encouraged to express their opinions and questions about euthanasia. Students should receive ethics education to prepare them to deal with euthanasia-related issues in their professional lives.

    Abstract The main purpose of this study was to translate the Plagiarism Attitude Scale into Turkish and validate it for use in Turkish settings, in order to better understand research integrity attitudes and awareness of the Turkish academic and student community, while also contributing an instrument for research in this area. The research was designed and conducted with 483 participants. In the process of adapting the scale to Turkish, language, content, and construct validity analyses were performed. Following the completion of the validity phase, the reliability of the scale was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the split-half method. The results indicate that the scale's language and content validity are deemed sufficient. According to the findings of the research, the Plagiarism Attitude Scale, in its adapted Turkish version, is considered a valid and reliable tool. The use of this Turkish scale will assist local researchers in sharing their unique perspectives and help the international community better understand research ethics concerns in Türkiye. Additionally, this scale will serve as a valuable resource for planning educational programs.

    Abstract Background/Aim: In recent years, the consumption of broad-spectrum antibiotics used in hospitals and the number of multidrug-resistant pathogens are increasing. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could also affect consumption of antibiotics used in the treatment of hospital-acquired infections and cause a difference antibiotic resistance rate. There is no study on whether there was a change in this trend during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. Our study was conducted to determine antibiotic consumption, the distribution of bacterial agents in culture samples and changes in their antimicrobial resistance rates in our hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, January and February 2020 were defined as the pre-pandemic period (PPP), and March and April, as the pandemic period (PP). The bacterial agents isolated from blood, urine, and respiratory samples and the rates of antibiotic consumption during these periods were compared using statistical methods. Results: A total of 3,384 samples were analyzed during the PPP and 2,170 samples, during the PP. While the total bacterial agents isolated in PPP was 469, this number was 394 in PP. The isolation of Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii complex was significantly lower in the PP (P
