ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study, to evaluate the relationship between mode of delivery and preterm morbidities and mortality, who born ≤34 weeks of gestation within 1 year. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Babies were divided into two groups as who were born by cesarean section (CS) and vaginal delivery (VD) between March 2019 and March 2020. Infants born at ≤28 weeks were also analyzed. RESULTS: The rate of CS delivery was 76% (378) in the whole group and 73% (115) in the babies of ≤28 gestational weeks. The most common maternal factor causing CS was preeclampsia (25%). The antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) application rate was 30% (152) in the whole group and 30% (45) in infants of ≤28 weeks. Rate of babies with an Apgar score of <5 at 5th min, asphyxia, multiple organ failure, development of severe respiratory distress syndrome, severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and mortality were significantly increased in infants born VD (for all p < 0.05). Mortality was significantly higher when gestational age was ≤28 weeks, birth weight was ≤1500 g and ACS was not administered (p < 0.001 for all). CONCLUSION: Mortality, severe IVH, neonatal asphyxia and multiple organ failure were found to be higher in those who were born by VD. These findings suggest that these results were due to inadequate prenatal care and follow-up and lack of ACS.

Retinopathy of prematurity is a retinal vascular disorder seen frequently in very premature infants, and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. The aim of the present study was to assess the association between the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity and mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, gestational age, and antenatal steroids in extremely low birth weight infants as well as to retrospectively analyze changes in the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity over two study periods.

In periodontitis, root surface alterations have been observed in the cementum due to the presence of toxic substances mainly endotoxins of various microorganisms. Elimination of endotoxins from diseased root surfaces by root planing and demineralisation procedures seem to be essential for new attachment procedures. In this study the effects of citric acid and tetracycline HCl on periodontally involved root surfaces which had been scaled and root planed were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Our results showed that scaled, root planed and citric acid treated surfaces were relatively even with many dentinal tubules. The planed and tetracycline HCl treated root surfaces, however showed an irregular cemental surface with some debris, whilst the control surfaces found to be irregular with a considerable amount of debris.

A study was conducted to evaluate using SEM the earliest events of initial blood clot formation on periodontally diseased root surfaces given various treatments. Six teeth with periodontal disease were extracted from six different subjects and were studied in two individual groups. In the first group the root surfaces were divided into three individual treatment areas: (a) intact periodontal ligament, (b) planed, (c) planed and also treated with 1% citric acid. The root surfaces in the second group were likewise divided into three treatment areas: (a) intact periodontal ligament, (b) planed, (c) planed and topically conditioned with tetracycline HCl. All the roots were reinserted into the original extraction sites, and then removed at either "zero" (less than 5 s), one or 3 min and prepared for SEM evaluation. It was observed that organized clot formation occurred more rapidly in the treatment areas where both root planing and topical conditioning with tetracycline HCl had been done.

For the chemical control of bacterial plaque, various oral rinses have been suggested. Oral rinses which have been used widely in dentistry for the treatment of periodontal disease were tested in this study. We investigated the effects of 4 national and 1 foreign commercially available oral rinses. Our study was headed to compare these oral rinses with CHx solution which has been accepted as a "+" control material. At the end of this study CHx was found to be the only effective solution. From those of tested, only Heksoral, a national brand, oral rinse and a foreign originated Veadent had very limited anti plaque effects.
