Article Abstract
Aims And Background: The golden proportion is based on the premise that there is a link between natural beauty and mathematics. The study aimed to analyze the mesiodistal width of maxillary anterior teeth in primary and permanent dentition to determine whether a golden proportion exists among them.
Materials And Methods: Sixty subjects were randomly selected in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were divided into two groups, each comprising 30 children with primary dentition between 3 and 6 years old, and 30 children with permanent dentition between 12 and 13 years old. Intraoral photographs were taken using a smartphone (in-built sensor: Sony IMX890, focal length: 24 mm, aperture: f/1.8) and a cheek retractor, with the head upright and the occlusal plane parallel to the floor. The distance between the participant and the camera was fixed at 4 cm. The digital photographic images were transferred to a computer, and the perceived mesiodistal width was measured for anterior teeth using Adobe Photoshop CS (version 8) software.
Results: The ratio of lateral incisor to central incisor was not found to differ significantly between permanent and primary dentition (-value > 0.05). However, the ratio of canine to lateral incisor was significantly greater in primary dentition compared to permanent dentition (-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The study revealed that the golden proportion was inconsistent in terms of relative tooth width in primary dentition.
Clinical Significance: The golden proportion existing in permanent dentition serves as a guide for restoring severely mutilated anterior teeth, so it is important to assess whether the golden proportion exists in primary dentition.

Background: The integration of digital tools in aesthetic medicine has enhanced the precision of facial feature analysis. Using concepts like the Golden Ratio, these technologies enable more objective assessments of facial proportions and symmetry. The beauty scanner-face analyzer (BS-FA) app offers a digital approach to evaluate geometric proportions and facial alignment, providing valuable data for preoperative planning in plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments.

Iridescent coloration is a vibrant structural colour that is widespread in nature, but in mammals is thought to be limited. Although multiple rodent and Eulipotyphlan species have been anecdotally described as iridescent, empirical evidence outside of the Chrysochloridae (golden mole) family is lacking. As iridescence in golden moles is created through a thin-film mechanism from a compressed cuticle structure, and the structure of hair is highly conserved, we expect iridescence to be present, and produced by the same mechanism, in mammals that share similar hair properties.

Background And Objectives: Moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in disability across physical, social, and cognitive domains. The Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE), which evaluates global function, is the most frequently used TBI outcome measure. However, the GOSE may not capture all domains of recovery.

The nutritional value of lipids depends not only on their fatty acid composition but also on their stereospecific positioning on the glycerol backbone. This study investigated the fatty acid composition and -2 positional distribution of triacylglycerols (TAG), as well as the composition of major phospholipids in golden pompano () juveniles (initial weight: 10 g) fed five diets including graded levels of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA; 0.64-2.

Background: Thymoma is a malignant tumor originating from the thymic epithelium and can be associated with over 100 paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs). Due to the low incidence of thymoma and the relative rarity of alopecia areata (AA) as an associated autoimmune disease, patients with thymoma combined with AA are relatively uncommon in clinical practice. As a result, the clinicopathological features and pathogenesis of such patients have been rarely investigated.
