Abstract SIRS 2026, held under the theme “Schizophrenia Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” brought together researchers, clinicians, and persons with lived experience to take stock of a field whose tools for measuring, predicting, and intervening in psychosis have e...

Integrating public health with other medical disciplines in university context: a qualitative study from Türkiye

Introduction A gap has been observed between public health and other medical disciplines, yet the nature and underlying causes of this gap remain insufficiently understood in the literature. These different perspectives can create challenges in developing a shared understanding o...

Assessment of Dental Students' and Recent Graduates' Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence Applications in Dentistry

ABSTRACT Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming dentistry by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, clinical efficiency and personalized treatment planning. This study evaluates the awareness and perceptions of AI applications among dental students and recent graduates...

Kentsel Yeşil Alanların Farklı Tematik Yaklaşımlar Açısından İşlevleri ve Stratejik Önemi

Günümüzde kentler, hızla artan nüfus, kontrolsüz ve plansız gelişmenin yanı sıra iklim değişikliği ve afet risklerinin yarattığı çok boyutlu kırılganlıklarla da mücadele etmek zorunda kalmaktadır Bu çalışma, kentsel yeşil alanları geleneksel "sosyal altyapı" tanımı ve işlevinin ö...

Assessment of circulating xenin as a potential metabolic biomarker in active smokers

Abstract Objectives Xenin regulates appetite, motility, and metabolic homeostasis. As the link between smoking and xenin has not yet been sufficiently investigated, this study compared serum levels between smokers and non-smokers and evaluated their associations with metabolic, h...

Comparative Remineralization Efficacy of Different Physical Forms of Chitosan in a Newly Developed Olive Leaf Extract-Containing Artificial Saliva

Plant-derived bioactive compounds and natural biopolymers are increasingly investigated as components of multifunctional remineralization systems. This in vitro study compared the remineralization efficacy of chitosan film, gel, and solution on bleached human enamel within an oli...

Organ-Specific Clinical Patterns of Pediatric Cystic Echinococcosis: A Multicenter Cohort from an Endemic Region

Pediatric cystic echinococcosis (CE) remains insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding organ-specific presentation and outcomes. This multicenter retrospective cohort included children aged 0–18 years with a definitive diagnosis of CE between 2013 and 2023 at six terti...

Evaluation of salivary Adseverin, DEFA-1 and sRANKL levels in periodontal health and disease: a cross-sectional study

This investigation aimed to evaluate salivary levels of adseverin (Ads), DEFA-1, and sRANKL in periodontal health, gingivitis, and periodontitis, and to explore their discriminatory potential across periodontal conditions. A total of 60 systemically healthy, nonsmoking individual...

Redefining leptomeningeal metastasis in non–small cell lung cancer: From terminal complication to molecularly managed disease

Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is one of the most devastating complications of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), historically associated with profound neurologic morbidity and poor survival. Advances in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-based diagnostics, improved molecular char...

Low-velocity impact performance of aluminum honeycomb sandwich structures with composite face sheets

Abstract In this study, AL 3003 aluminum honeycomb cores with heights of 10 mm and 15 mm, which have been widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries in recent years, were employed. As face sheet materials, glass/epoxy, carbon/epoxy, and Kevlar (aramid)/epoxy...

Temporal analysis of area and elevation changes in forest fires in İzmir Province (1995–2025)

The intensifying thermal and hydrological stress in the Mediterranean climate zone increases the spatial extent of forest fires and alters their topographic ascent dynamics. This study investigates the spatial acceleration and vertical elevation shifts of forest fires in İzmir Pr...

Barriers to research engagement among medical students in Türkiye: the role of environmental factors

Abstract Background Medical student participation in structured research activities during undergraduate education appears to remain limited and the factors underlying this limited participation are not yet fully understood. Existing validated questionnaires were not suitable for...

Western diet induces MASLD and major transcriptional reprogramming in the liver-gut axis of early zebrafish larvae

Abstract Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is linked to western diet and sedentary lifestyle. While larval zebrafish are powerful discovery tools, standardized diets inducing early-stage MASLD are lacking. Here, we developed and early-stage zebrafis...

Report of a rare, well-preserved lawsonite eclogite (Elekdağ, Central Pontides, Türkiye)

Although lawsonite eclogite is predicted from experimental, thermodynamic, and geophysical methods to be common in cold subduction zones, the defining metamorphic assemblage in metabasite (garnet + omphacite + lawsonite) is rare in exhumed subduction complexes. To date, there are...

Double-balloon enteroscopy in different age groups: indications, findings, diagnosis, and treatment

Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is an essential diagnostic and therapeutic modality for small-bowel disorders. Most prior studies on age-related differences in DBE involved limited age groups and small cohorts. We evaluated age-specific differences in the indications, findings,...

Gender-Based and Sexualized Behaviors in Perioperative Workplaces in Türkiye: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Survey

Background/Objectives: Evidence on gender-based and sexualized conduct in perioperative workplaces in Türkiye is limited. This exploratory study described 12-month self-identified personal exposure, behavior encounters, reporting, organizational climate, impacts, and prevention p...

Plasmon‐Enhanced Second‐Harmonic Generation in Atomically Thin Crystalline Silver Nanostructures

ABSTRACT The intrinsically weak nonlinear optical response of existing materials, further constrained by symmetry‐forbidden second‐order processes in centrosymmetric media, severely limits efficient frequency conversion in deeply subwavelength, ultrathin volumes. Addressing this...

Validation Design Governs the Apparent Performance of Machine Learning Calibration for Low-Cost Optical Particle Counters: A PM1 Study

Low-cost optical particle counters (OPCs) are increasingly deployed to resolve spatial variability in indoor particulate matter levels that sparse reference networks cannot capture, but their output requires field calibration. We evaluated three co-located low-cost sensors agains...

Forecasting Türkiye’s salmon exports: A multi-method assessment of market dynamics and country-specific prospects

Türkiye has rapidly emerged as an important producer and exporter of Turkish salmon, yet the future trajectory of its exports may differ substantially across destination markets. This study examines the short-term country-specific prospects of Türkiye’s salmon exports and identif...
