Candidozyma auris (formerly Candida auris) is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen associated with healthcare-associated infections and high mortality. This study evaluated the clinical characteristics, antifungal susceptibility profiles, and risk factors for candidemi...

Carbonated Mineral Water Bottles: An Underrecognized Cause of Ocular Trauma

This study evaluated the mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of ocular injuries associated with carbonated mineral water bottles. Twenty patients presenting with bottle-related ocular trauma at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic f...

Response to “Comment on: Association of SUVmax with Malignancy in Focal FDG-Avid Thyroid Incidentalomas”

We read with interest the study by Öztürk et al. evaluating the performance of ultrasound risk stratification systems in focal FDG-avid thyroid incidentalomas. While TIRADS-based systems have shown high diagnostic performance, the SUVmax cut-off value and negative predictive valu...

Ensefalopatinin Nadir ve Geri Dönuşumlu Bir Nedeni: Valproik Asit Ensefalopatisi

Valproik asit ensefalopatisi, ensefalopati etiyolojisinde nadir bir tablo olup VA tedavisi sırasında gelişen bilinç değişikliği, kognitif yavaşlama, fokal nörolojik defisitler ve epileptik hastada paradoksal nöbet artışı ile karakterizedir. Hiperamonyemik(en sık), non-hiperamonye...

A Uterus‐Preserving Laparoscopic Technique for Cervicovaginal Agenesis With Functional Uterine Remnants

BACKGROUND: Cervicovaginal agenesis with functional uterine remnants is a rare Müllerian anomaly that may cause obstructed menstrual flow, pelvic pain, haematometra, haematosalpinx and endometriosis. Uterus-preserving reconstruction is challenging because it requires both neovagi...

Essential oils: A review of ex vivo studies on aortic smooth muscle contractility

Essential oils, known as volatile oils, are valuable odoriferous substances from plants. The popularity of essential oils has significantly increased due to numerous therapeutic properties, including antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antidyslipidemic, and antiplatelet activities. A...

Parity Symmetry and Univalence of Complex Lucas, Faber and Gegenbauer Polynomial Operators for Intensity-Domain Image Enhancement

In this study, three global tone mapping operators are built from classical polynomial families to enhance low contrast documentation images, their behaviour fixed in advance by symmetry rather than chosen by taste. Lucas, Faber and Gegenbauer polynomials are generated by a recur...

Mechanism-Based Classification and Quantitative Assessment of Panoramic Radiographic Artifacts

Background and Aim: Accurate identification of panoramicradiographic artifacts is essential for improving diagnosticreliability and reducing unnecessary repeat imaging. This studyaimed to classify panoramic radiographic artifacts by theirformation mechanisms and evaluate image qu...

The effect of pulmonary nodule presence on disease severity and course in ANCA-associated vasculitis: a multicenter cohort study

Pulmonary nodules are common in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), but their clinical relevance remains unclear. This study assessed the influence of pulmonary nodules and radiological features on clinical characteristics and outcomes in AAV. In this multicenter retrospective coho...

Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities of mycosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles from Ganoderma lucidum

The mycosynthesis method for metal oxide nanoparticles offers several advantages, including eco-friendliness, non-toxicity, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. In this study, mycosynthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) was achieved using cell-free extracts of Ganode...

Development and Validation of the Sharenting Behavior Scale Among Parents

Due to the proliferation of social media, sharenting has become a widespread parental behavior. Its prevalence, combined with its potential impact on children’s privacy and well-being, highlights the need for a parent-specific psychometric instrument. The present study aimed to d...

Combined effects of material selection and surface engineering on the wear behavior of glass crusher blades in deposit return systems

Abstract The wear behavior of glass crusher blades used in deposit return systems was investigated by evaluating the combined effects of material selection and surface engineering. Eight different steels were tested under simulated glass-crushing conditions using a custom-designe...

Bibliometric Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Use in Small Animal Thoracic Radiography

ABSTRACT Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in veterinary diagnostic imaging, particularly in thoracic radiology, to support image interpretation. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate research trends in AI applications for small animal thoraci...

Experimental investigation and optimization of 3D-printed circumferentially corrugated multi-cell polygonal structures

Purpose This study aims to investigate the crashworthiness of 3D-printed multi-cell thin-walled polylactic acid plus (PLA+) tubes under quasi-static axial compression. The objective is to explore the influence of inner geometry, radius application and diameter variations on crash...

Comparison of propofol and propofol–ketamine anesthesia on optic nerve sheath diameter in endovascular cerebral aneurysm procedures: a prospective randomized study

Endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms requires anesthetic strategies that maintain cerebral perfusion and hemodynamic stability while avoiding increases in intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured by ultrasonography is commonl...

One Dimensional Modeling and Multi Objective Optimization of the Parallel Channel Count and Coolant Flow Rate of a Battery Module Cooling System via Machine Learning Surrogates

Thermal management of lithium ion cells is one of the main challenges in EV battery pack design. In this study, a surrogate model assisted multi objective optimization framework is presented for a liquid-cooled parallel channel battery thermal management system (BTMS). A battery...

Enhanced stellar oscillation algorithm for optimal design of inudstrial components

Abstract This paper introduces the Modified Stellar Oscillation Optimizer (MSOA) for constrained industrial design problems. The base optimizer, which models the pulsation and oscillatory behavior of stars, is hybridized with chaotic maps. MSOA is tested on five constrained engin...
