Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this work is to observe the effect of the cavity design of the direct composite restoration on a real case of the patient's tooth structures after applying his mandibular kinematics with finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four complex maxillomandibular models of teeth 17 and 47 were constructed from the patient's cone-beam acquisition and the patient's kinematic data recorded with Modjaw® were added. Different shapes and sizes of mesio-occluso-distal (M.O.D.) composite restorations were simulated, including the polymerization shrinkage of this material. Finite element analyses were used to observe the Von Mises stresses occurring during polymerization and mastication. RESULTS The stresses were observed at the cavity margin and the amplitude of the stresses was higher when the enamel volume was lower. The reduction in occlusal enamel volume with the open-angle vestibular and palatal walls resulted in a greater increase in stresses observed on the structures. CONCLUSIONS The occlusal enamel is the area that bears the maximum masticatory stress, the loss of this enamel volume generates a much greater concentration of stress on the underlying structures. It is important to preserve as much enamel tissue as possible when designing a cavity for a direct composite restoration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM IgA deficiency is the most common human primary immunodeficiency. The prevalence of allergic disorders and autoimmunity is thought to be increased in selective IgA deficiency (sIgAD). However, it is currently unclear if these disorders coincide within these families. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of allergic and autoimmune disorders in children with sIgAD and their first-degree relatives (FDRs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 81 children diagnosed with sIgAD and 274 of their FDRs. The presence of allergic and autoimmune disorders was evaluated and serum antithyroglobulin and antithyroid peroxidase levels were measured in both patients and their first-degree relatives. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 9.9 ± 3.9 years. Among the patients with sIgAD, 45.7% of them had at least one allergic disorder and 17.3% of them had at least one autoimmune disorder. The frequencies of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema in the FDRs of sIgAD patients were 10.9%, 9.1%, and 7.7%, respectively. Among their FDRs, 14.6% had autoimmunity, compared to an estimate of 5% in the general population. CONCLUSION Increased frequency of allergic and autoimmune disorders in patients with sIgAD and their FDRs suggests a possible common predisposing genetic component for sIgAD and autoimmunity in these families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing frequency of anaphylaxis, there is inadequate information on the etiology and clinical features in various countries, regions and age groups, especially in developing countries. OBJECTIVE Our aim is to assess the etiology and clinical findings of anaphylaxis in Turkey. Gathering reliable data about the etiology and clinical findings of anaphylaxis in the general population will decrease the related morbidity and mortality. METHOD We obtained the names and phone numbers of individuals who had been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector with a diagnosis of anaphylaxis from ministry of health. Demographic data, clinical history of the first episode of anaphylaxis including the triggering agent, clinical findings, course of hospitalization, and the management of anaphylaxis were obtained by phone survey. RESULTS A total of 843 patients with a mean age of 21.4±17.3 years were evaluated. There was a significant male predominance among children younger than 10 years of age but a female predominance in older subjects. The most common causes of anaphylaxis were foods(40.1%) in children and bee venom(60.8%) in adults. The biphasic reaction rate was 4.3% and the median length of stay at an emergency department was 4.0 hours. Almost 60% of the patients had recurrent anaphylaxis episodes. Only 10.7% of the cases were prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector at their first anaphylaxis episode and only 59.2% of the patients were referred to an allergist during discharge from the emergency department. CONCLUSIONS In Turkey, bee venom was the most common cause of anaphylaxis, followed by food and drug. While more than a half of patients reported recurrent attacks; only 10% had been prescribed epinephrine auto-injector kit after their first episode. Strategies to improve the anaphyalxis management are therefore urgently required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibody deficiency comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by the body's inability to mount an effective antibody response to pathogens. Although it has been reported that asthma and allergic disease are frequent in antibody deficiencies, there are no data that evaluate and compare bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) in all groups of antibody deficiencies. In this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare the frequency of BHR in patients with different antibody deficiencies. METHODS The study was carried out on 113 patients between ages 5 and 18 diagnosed with antibody deficiencies. The patients and their families were questioned on their history of asthma and allergic diseases. Allergic skin prick tests and non-specific bronchial provocation test with methacholine was done for all patients. Complete blood count and serum total IgE levels were measured. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 10.8 ± 3.8 years and 66.4% were male. Within the study group 41.6% of the patients had selective IgA deficiency, 24.8% had IgG subclass deficiency, 14.2% had partial IgA deficiency, 10.6% had common variable immunodeficiency, 6.2% had transient hypogammaglobulinaemia and 2.7% X-linked agammaglobulinaemia. In total group, 42.5% had bronchial hyperreactivity with methacholine challenge test. BHR was more significant in both patients with selective IgA deficiency and partial IgA deficiency compared to those with IgG subclass deficiency (P=0.041 and P=0.038, respectively). CONCLUSION BHR was high in antibody deficiencies, especially selective IgA deficiency compared to IgG subclass deficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between GERD and asthma is complex. It is not yet clear whether GERD is an accompanying finding or a cause of asthma, or even if it is an aggravating factor. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of asthma and allergic diseases in patients who underwent 24-h pH monitoring for a suspicion of GERD, including a comparison between subjects with and without GERD. METHOD Subjects who were evaluated by 24h ambulatory intraoesophageal pH monitoring were investigated for the presence of asthma and allergic disorders. All participants were subjected to a skin prick test and a complete blood count and serum levels of specific IgE. RESULTS A total of 204 subjects (49.5% male) with a mean age of 7.8±4.3 years were enrolled. A diagnosis of GERD was made in 78 (38.2%) subjects after 24h pH monitoring. The frequency of asthma in subjects with GERD was 20.5% compared to 25.4% in subjects without GERD (p=0.424). Subjects with GERD presenting with respiratory symptoms have higher incidence of asthma compared to subjects with GERD presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms (35.3% and 5.3% respectively; p=0.001). CONCLUSION Although, patients with and without GERD had comparable frequencies of asthma, our findings suggest that subjects who present with respiratory symptoms suggestive of GERD should also be evaluated for the presence of an underlying asthma.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the frequency of atopy and allergic disease in all groups of primary immunodeficiency (PID) patients. The study was done on 318 patients with PID between the ages of 6 months and 18 years. The patients and their parents were questioned regarding their histories of asthma and allergic disease. Within the study group, 82.4% of the patients had antibody deficiency, 10.4% combined immunodeficiency, 6.6% phagocyte number or function defect, and 0.6% complement deficiency. Patients with selective immunoglobulin (Ig)A deficiency had a more significant history of ever wheezing compared to those with IgG subclass deficiency (p=0.022). The frequency of current wheezing was higher in patients with antibody deficiency than in patients with combined immunodeficiency (p=0.049). In conclusion, patients with antibody deficiency, especially those with selective IgA deficiency, should be evaluated regarding asthma and allergic diseases if recurring respiratory symptoms are present.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergy, which becomes an important public health problem, can lead to important morbidity and mortality. Patients with food allergies are more likely to first present to their primary care physicians. We aimed to determine the knowledge of primary care physicians with regard to management of food allergies and anaphylaxis. METHODS Primary care physicians were surveyed via a questionnaire aimed to document their knowledge and attitudes about food allergy and anaphylaxis management. RESULTS A total of 297 participants completed questionnaires, 55.6% of which were female. Participating physicians had a mean of 17.0 ± 6.1 years of experience. Participants answered 47.2% of knowledge-based items correctly. Overall, participants fared poorly with regard to their knowledge on the treatment of food allergies and anaphylaxis. For example while 60.7% knew that a child can die from the milk allergy reaction, only 37.5% were aware that a child with IgE mediated milk allergies cannot eat yoghourts/cheese with milk. Besides, 53.1% of them chose epinephrine as their first treatment of choice in case of anaphylaxis, yet only 16.6% gave the correct answer about its dosage. Nearly a third of participants (36.7%) felt they were knowledgeable enough regarding the management of patients with food allergies, while 98.2% extended their request for future periodic educational meetings on allergic disorders. CONCLUSION Knowledge of food allergy and anaphylaxis among primary care physicians was unsatisfactory. Provision or periodic educational programmes should be aimed at improving the standard of practice as acknowledged by the participants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the causes of thrombocytosis, which was defined as a platelet count greater than 500 x 10(9)/L, and to compare the groups with mild and severe thrombocytosis. A total of 484 patients were evaluated for the etiology of thrombocytosis. Patients with a platelet count between 500-800 x 10(9)/L were considered to have mild thrombocytosis, while those with a count of ≥800 x 10(9)/L were considered as having severe thrombocytosis. Of 484 patients included, 63% had thrombocytosis due to an infectious disease, 11.4% had a chronic inflammatory condition, 8.5% had anemia, and 5.2% had tissue injury. The frequency of chronic inflammation was higher in the severe thrombocytosis group compared to the mild thrombocytosis group (p=0.006). In conclusion, severe infections and chronic inflammatory conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient with severe thrombocytosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests that sex steroid hormones may influence respiratory symptoms. The existing literature about the role of oral contraceptive pill (OCP) on respiratory disease is scarce and conflicting especially during the adolescent period. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of OCPs on current wheezing among adolescents and young adults. METHODS A questionnaire was administered face-to-face to adolescents and young women by a physician. The questionnaire included ISAAC survey-comprised questions on ever wheezing, current wheezing, allergic diseases, smoking history (active or passive), and family history of allergic diseases and questions on OCP usage status. The effect of OCPs on wheezing was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 487 subjects aged between 11.3 and 25.6years participated in the study and 196 (40.2%) reported that they had used OCPs. 7.4% of the participants had physician-diagnosed asthma and 10.3% of them were active smokers. It was detected that OCPs were associated with increased risk for current wheezing (odds ratio, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.25-4.47 adjusted for asthma and current smoker) and this risk was related with the usage during the past year. CONCLUSION Young women taking oral contraceptives had a higher rate of current wheezing, suggesting that sex steroids may be of importance for respiratory health.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening condition. There are limited data about the etiology and the clinical characteristics in developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of anaphylaxis patients attending our pediatric allergy clinic. We conducted a prospective analysis of patients who were admitted to our allergy clinic for anaphylaxis from 2010 to 2012. Ninety-six patients were evaluated during the study period. The mean age was 7.4 ± 5.2 years. Venom, food, and drugs were the most common causative agents responsible for 31 (32.3%), 30 (31.3%), and 26 (27.1%) of the cases, respectively. Foods implicated most frequently were peanuts and nuts (n = 9; 30.0%), cow's milk (n = 7; 23.3%), and egg white (n = 6; 20.0%). The clinical manifestations during anaphylaxis in order of frequency were cutaneous (97.9%), respiratory (86.5%), gastrointestinal (42.7%), neurological (37.5%), and cardiovascular symptoms (30.2%). A biphasic course was noticed in five cases (5.2%). Of the 91 patients, 79 (86.8%) received H1-antihistamines, 73 (80.2%) received corticosteroids, 40 (44.4%) received adrenaline, 38 (41.8%) received fluid replacement therapy, 18 (19.8%) received β2-mimetics, and 8 (8.8%) received H2-antihistamines. According to severity, 7.3% of patients had mild, 59.4% had moderate, and 33.3% had severe anaphylaxis. Food and bee venom allergy were the most common etiologies. Adrenaline, the first-line treatment of anaphylaxis, was administered in only 44.4% of our cases.
