The aim of the present study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of dental students on oral cancer in Istanbul, Turkey. A self-administered questionnaire adapted from Tanriover et al. consisting of 48 questions was distributed to 311 students enrolled in the fourth and fifth grades of a dental faculty in Istanbul, Turkey. Questions were grouped under 5 main headings socio-demographic features, knowledge on risk factors and diagnostic procedures, history taking regarding to alcohol and smoking status, opinions and behaviors of oral cancer, and distribution of dental students according to diagnostic practice of oral cancer. The frequencies and percentages were calculated with descriptive analysis. The differences in distributions were analyzed using the chi-squared test. The p value was set at 0.05 for statistical significance. The overall response rate was 98% (305/311). The majority of the students identified tobacco and alcohol as risk factors (82% and 75.1%, respectively), while older agetors of OC. Reorganization of the dental curriculum, and courses which further draw attention on the responsibility of the dental practitioner in the detection of oral cancers will be beneficial for the creation of awareness on this significant topic among future dental workforce. Understanding the knowledge and perception of dental students on oral cancers is not only limited to a specific country but it is a worldwide critical issue in which information should be exchanged. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI, F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, and multiparametric (mp)MRI for the delineating of dominant intraprostatic lesions (IPL). 35 patients with organ-confined prostate cancer who were assigned to definitive radiotherapy (RT) were divided into three groups based on imaging techniques Ga-PSMA-PET/MRI (n = 9), F-PSMA-PET/CT (n = 16) and Ga-PSMA-PET/CT (n = 10). All patients without PSMA-PET/MRI received an additional mpMRI. PSMA-PET-based automatic isocontours and manual contours of the dominant IPLs were generated for each modality. The biopsy results were then used to validate whether any of the prostate biopsies were positive in the marked lesion using Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), Youden index (YI), sensitivity and specificity. Factors that can predict the accuracy of IPLs contouring were analysed. Diagnostic performance was significantly superior both for manual and automatic IPLs contouring using Ga-PSM-based imaging technique should be considered for the diagnostics of IPLs and focal treatment modality.This study evaluates the nature and intensity of anxiety, interpretations of the COVID-19 pandemic and coping modalities of hospitalized patients with mental illness compared with their caregivers. One hundred and fifty-one subjects were evaluated with a specially designed questionnaire. Psychiatric inpatients reported more anxiety and more negative feelings than staff members and healthy subjects, but inpatients felt protected by the hospital and Ministry of Health (MoH) measures. Despite this anxiety, inpatients reported a lower compliance with MoH instructions than staff and healthy subjects and gave more fatalistic interpretations to the pandemic. Haredi study participants reported less anxiety, more optimism and had a higher sense of control regarding the pandemic compared to non-religious participants. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common causes of cancer death in the world. Although genes are considered the most importantcauses that contribute to CRC, the intestinal microorganisms are an important player. Recently, various studies ensured the role of microbial infection andthe ensuing inflammation in colon cancer initiation and progression. This present study tries to introduce a cheap nano-peroxidase (an antioxidant enzyme)produced from natural sources as effi
