Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Turkish ATRAI-14 among radiology residents: a multicenter national survey

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into radiology, and residents’ attitudes are central to its adoption. The ATRAI-14 measures radiologists’ attitudes toward AI implementation, but its performance in other linguistic and health-system contexts is unknown. We...

Effects of Pre-Slaughter Dietary Supplementation with a Phytogenic Additive Containing Passiflora incarnata and Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni Extracts on Oxidative Status, Inflammatory Responses, Carcass Quality, Meat Composition, and Bone Morphology in Broilers

Background: The final days before slaughter represent one of the most stressful periods in commercial broiler production, during which acute stress stimulates endocrine, oxidative, and inflammatory responses that may compromise animal welfare and slaughter outcomes. This study ev...

Modular unmanned ground vehicle architecture for search and rescue operations: autonomous SLAM and AI-driven thermal victim detection

Purpose The catastrophic effects of natural disasters on human life and the critical importance of timely response have significantly increased the demand for autonomous search and rescue (SAR) technologies such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV...

The wider expansion of pediatric robotic urology: exploring the patterns of adoption in complex bladder reconstruction

Abstract Robotic surgery is increasingly used in pediatric urology, particularly for moderate-complexity procedures such as pyeloplasty and ureteral reimplantation. Whether this expansion has extended to high-complexity lower urinary tract (LUT) reconstruction remains unclear. To...

Hospitalisation in cirrhosis is linked to distinct gut microbiome structural and functional profiles: a multinational metagenomic study

Background Hospitalisations represent major clinical events in cirrhosis, yet prediction based on clinical variables alone remains limited. Objective Given the role of the gut microbiome in disease progression, we evaluated whether gut metagenomic profiles are associated with 90-...

Renal Imaging Characteristics Predicting Percutaneous Access for Staghorn Stone Management

Abstract Purpose of Review Preoperative planning in staghorn stones treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) can improve efficiency and minimize complications. We summarized the current evidence on imaging features to guide the selection of optimal access for managing sta...

Cytokine profiles and genetic variations based on mitochondrial ND1 and COX1 genes of Coenurus cerebralis in Türkiye

Coenurosis, caused by the metacestode (Coenurus cerebralis) of Taenia multiceps, is a significant zoonotic parasitic disease that primarily affects the small ruminants, resulting in economic difficulties within the livestock industry. This study first aimed to evaluate the expres...

Comparison of caregiver burden and burnout levels in caregivers of individuals with cerebral palsy and stroke in similar functional conditions

The aim of this study is to compare the caregiver burden and burnout levels of caregivers of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and stroke who had similar functional independence levels, and to examine whether caregiver outcomes differed between these two caregiving contexts. T...

Consistency of ChatGPT responses with the American Psychiatric Association guidelines in adolescent eating disorders: evaluation of quality, reliability, and readability

The increasing use of artificial intelligence systems in healthcare has raised concerns regarding the accuracy and reliability of information generated by large language models. This study aimed to evaluate the concordance of ChatGPT responses related to adolescent eating disorde...

Effect of CFRP strip width, spacing, and anchors on the axial and flexural performance of RC columns

This study experimentally investigates the effectiveness of strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) columns with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips to enhance their axial load capacity and nonlinear deformation behavior under both concentric and eccentric axial loading....

A Comparative Analysis of Inpatient Versus Outpatient Management for Severely Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes

Background: The global burden of diabetes continues to rise, driven by increasing prevalence, high complication rates, and substantial healthcare costs. While hospitalization is essential for acute metabolic emergencies, a considerable “grey zone” population presents with severe...

Non-Invasive Skin Imaging Techniques for Diagnosing and Monitoring Mycosis Fungoides: A Comprehensive Review

Mycosis fungoides, the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, presents notable diagnostic challenges. In its early stages, it may resemble inflammatory dermatoses both clinically and histologically, causing delays in diagnosis. These factors can lead to treatment delays,...

Rejection Sensitivity Among Adults with Comorbid Borderline Personality Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Background: Rejection sensitivity (RS)—anxious expectations of interpersonal rejection—is consistently elevated in borderline personality disorder (BPD), but evidence in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly in adults, remains limited and mixed. We compare...

Exact solution to the linear Ginzburg–Landau equation for a single-band type-II superconductor confined in a thin-film structure

Abstract We solve exactly the linear Ginzburg–Landau equation for a single-band bulk superconductor confined to a thin-film structure. In order to achieve a confinement effect, we replace the constant mass with an effective mass varying with position. We break the isotropic behav...

Distinct fascicular and epineurial architecture of the obturator nerve: a comparative analysis with clinical and surgical relevance

Peripheral nerves of the lumbar plexus share a common origin but exhibit distinct anatomical and clinical features.Although the gross anatomy of these nerves has been described, differences in cross-sectional structure remain unclear.This study compared the histological architect...

Exploring Teacher Idealism: The Concentric Model, Narrative Identity, and Agency in English Language Teaching in Türkiye

Abstract Teacher idealism, the ethical, aspirational, and future‐oriented dimension of professional identity, remains under‐theorized in second language teacher education (SLTE) despite its central role in sustaining pedagogical agency and professional resilience. Drawing on the...
