Field efficacy of the pupal parasitoid Chouioia cunea Yang, 1989 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and selected insecticides for management of Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in hazelnut orchards

The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a destructive polyphagous pest that poses a serious threat to hazelnut production worldwide. Effective management strategies are critical for minimizing its economic impact. This study aimed to evaluate...

Climate Literacy and Perceptions of Climate Change in Historic Settlements: The Cases of Amasra, Mudurnu and Taraklı

Climate change poses increasing risks not only to natural ecosystems but also to cultural heritage sites and the communities that depend on them. Climate literacy, encompassing knowledge, awareness, and decision-making capacity, is essential for strengthening local resilience and...

The perforation triad as a recognition-and-response pattern for balloon- or stent-related Ellis II–III coronary artery perforation during percutaneous coronary intervention

OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We describe a prespecified candidate recognition pattern - the perforation triad - that may help operators identify an evolving perforatio...

Early mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ADAMTS-5 in an acute ischemia/reperfusion–induced pressure ulcer model, a pilot exploratory animal study

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs (ADAMTS) -5 in an acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced pressure ulc...

Time-varying Fama-French factor loadings in the Turkish equity market

The standard Fama-French three-factor model assumes constant factor loadings for the market, size, and value factors. This assumption has been questioned on the grounds that systematic risk exposures may adjust to changing economic conditions, policy regimes, and financial shocks...

Final-year dental students’ self-perceived knowledge and self-reported clinical approaches to vital pulp therapy: a single-institution cross-sectional survey

Undergraduate dental education should prepare students to understand and apply contemporary vital pulp therapy (VPT) procedures in permanent teeth. However, students’ self-perceived knowledge, stated treatment preferences, and self-reported clinical approaches regarding VPT may v...

Safety and Outcomes of Image-Guided Transthoracic Lung Biopsy: Experience from a Single-Center Cohort Study

Objective: Transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) under image guidance is a cornerstone technique for the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Despite its high diagnostic accuracy, procedure-related complications remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, diagnostic yield,...

The Prognostic Significance of Intracellular Glutathione and Extracellular Thiol-Disulfide Homeostasis Patients with Bladder Tumors

Objective: This research focused on evaluating the relationship between intracellular oxidized/reduced glutathione levels and extracellular thiol-disulfide parameters in patients with bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: This case-control studyinitially included 63 patients wit...

Hidden heterogeneity in complicated appendicitis: comparison of preoperative biomarker profiles across the histopathological spectrum of acute appendicitis

Complicated appendicitis, comprising gangrenous and perforated subtypes, is conventionally treated as a single category in biomarker studies. These subtypes may nonetheless represent distinct pathophysiological processes, and whether they exhibit different preoperative biomarker...

EARLY ERGONOMIC STRESS IN DENTAL EDUCATION: CHANGES IN PRESSURE PAIN THRESHOLDS, BODY AWARENESS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISCOMFORT AMONG PRECLINICAL DENTAL STUDENTS

Objective: Dentistry is widely recognized as an ergonomically challenging profession, with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) often developing early during undergraduate education. While physical workload is heavily studied, how preclinical education affects body awar...

Fruit yields, essential and fixed oil content, essential oil component and fatty acids profile of fennel in response to different doses of sheep and cow manures

Fennel ( Foeniculum vulgare L.) is a well-known aromatic plant belonging to the Apiaceae family, which is extensively cultivated worldwide as a culinary spice. Although organic cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants can improve the quality and safety of medicinal plants, th...

Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization combined wıth pelvic floor training improves urinary and pelvic floor outcomes in women with multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can impair pelvic floor muscle function, leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).To investigate the effectiveness of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)-based training in addition to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on LUTS and pelvic floor...

Ground Vibration due to a Leaking Pipe: Uncertainties in Elastic Wave Propagation and Their Effects

Abstract This work investigates the propagation of elastic waves in soil induced by a leaking buried pipe, emphasizing the influence of uncertainty on ground-surface responses. The analysis is grounded in the underlying wave physics and employs a stochastic modelling framework to...

The possibility of growing winter crops in the face of global warming; variation in seed yield and phytochemistry of selected fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) genotypes

In this study, 5 fenugreek genotypes and one cultivar were grown under winter and summer conditions to determine their morphological, seed yield, quality, and bioactive properties. Significant differences in morphological traits, seed yield, quality, and bioactive properties were...

Beyond Echocardiography: Multimodality Imaging of a Mitral Valve Blood Cyst in Cryptogenic Stroke

ABSTRACT Mitral valve blood cysts are rare, benign lesions in adults. A 52‐year‐old female presenting with acute ischemic stroke was found on echocardiography to have a thin‐walled, mobile, 1.2 × 2.4 cm cystic mass on the posterior mitral leaflet, along with hypertrophic obstruct...

Impact of magnification and fluorescence guidance on conservative retrieval of failed fiber posts: an in vitro study

Abstract Background Fiber post removal during endodontic retreatment is challenging since fiber posts bond strongly to root dentin, closely matching its color, making the post–cement–dentin interface difficult to distinguish. Consequently, fiber post retrieval may cause unnecessa...
