The traditional approach to anatomy teaching is still the most common. Recently, there has been a demand for methods that make students more active and open to communication and cooperation, and are well integrated with technology. Our aim in this study was to determine the social media usage characteristics and anatomy learning experiences of medical and dentistry students, and their expectations about learning via social media. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed to faculties of Medicine and Dentistry in 10 different universities in Türkiye via Google forms. The questionnaire was voluntarily answered by 762 students. Frequency, exploratory factor and confirmatory factor analyses were applied to the data acquired, and a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used. The results showed that 54.3% of the students spent more than 90 min/day on social media; 96.5% of the participants preferred to follow anatomical content pages on social media (acpSM) administered by an academic. They stated that the instant responses from acpSM's admin had a positive effect on motivation to learning (4.08 ± 0.89, mean ± SD, on 5‐point Likert‐type scale). The SEM revealed a statistically significant correlation between the students' learning motivation and the sufficiency and suitability of acpSM content (p < 0.010). Thus, medical and dental students are eager to learn anatomy via social media. However, they found acpSM to be insufficient in quality and quantity and wanted future content to be administered by academics. An acpSM optimized for content sufficiency and suitability increased students' learning motivation.

Background and Objectives: The aim was to evaluate nerve healing using immunohistochemical, histological, and functional techniques and to compare the effects of two different therapeutic ozone application methods by perineural and intraperitoneal ozone treatment in rats with a crush injury model of sciatic nerve. Materials and Methods: Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four subgroups of ten rats each: (1) Control group: The left sciatic nerve incised and closed without crush injury, no treatment; (2) Paralyzed group: Crush injury to the left sciatic nerve, no treatment; (3) Perineural ozone group: Crush injury to the left sciatic nerve, treated with perineural ozone therapy; (4) Intraperitoneal ozone group: Crush injury to the left sciatic nerve, treated with intraperitoneal ozone therapy. The treatments were administered for a 14-day period. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and toluidine blue staining were used for histological examination; TUNEL staining was used for immunohistochemical examination. Pinch test and rotarod performance assessment were utilized for functional evaluation. Results: The pinch test scores showed significant improvement in perineural and intraperitoneal ozone treatment groups after treatment (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively). The scores of myelin degeneration, vascular congestion, vascular wall thickness, inflammation, and toluidine blue and TUNEL staining were significantly lower in both ozone treatment groups compared to the paralyzed group (p < 0.001). Vascular wall thickness scores were significantly higher in the perineural ozone group compared to the control and intraperitoneal ozone groups (p = 0.004 and p = 0.013, respectively). The Schwann cell proliferation scores were significantly higher in the perineural ozone group compared to the control group and intraperitoneal ozone groups (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Both applications of ozone therapy accelerated the healing of nerve regeneration, reduced inflammation and apoptosis based on histopathological results, and enhanced nerve function in rats with sciatic nerve injury. Perineural ozone therapy has been demonstrated to be an efficacious alternative to systemic ozone treatments in the management of sciatic nerve injury. Further studies are needed to determine optimal ozone dosage and administration protocols for the treatment of nerve injury.

Aim: The locations of the Wormian bones (WBs) are critical knowledge for physicians, anatomists, forensic scientists, and anthropologists. The purpose of the study is to identify the number and location of WBs in the Anatolian population. Material and Methods: The study included 29 adult skulls from anatomy departments at two universities in Türkiye. The skulls' gender and age were unknown. The prevalence, quantity, and location of WBs were assessed. Results: The greatest number of WBs (mean 1.79) were found in the lambdoid suture, which was followed by the coronal suture (0.43). Among the fontanelles, the Asterion had the highest number of WBs (0.42). Conclusion: According to our findings, the Lambdoid suture has the highest number of WBs. There is still a great deal of mystery around the causes of the occurrence and localization of WBs. Radiologists, neurosurgeons, forensic scientists, anatomists, and anthropologists must conduct more research in this area.

Kidney disease is one of the outstanding types of diseases that have reduced the quality of life of people in recent years. In particular, damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion leads to varying results, ranging from renal dysfunction to chronic renal failure. Many conditions, such as sepsis, shock, hydronephrosis, open kidney surgery, partial nephrectomy, renal transplantation, or nephron-sparing surgical procedures for renal tumors, may cause ischemic injury in the kidneys. Therefore, many studies are currently under way to reduce and prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury in the kidney. In that studies, attempts have been made to try various methods from the changes of ischemia or reperfusion until the use before or after ischemia-reperfusion of medicines that may be effective in treatment. In this study, we tried to give a general overview of ischemia-reperfusion. Because we can fully understand the complex cellular events that take place from the onset of ischemia to the time of acute or chronic damage can give us new perspectives on the methods to be followed in therapy.
