The Effect of Aromatherapy on Fatigue and Sleep Quality in Intensive Care Nurses: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Intensive care nurses are at high risk of fatigue and sleep disturbances due to irregular shift patterns and high levels of occupational stress. Although aromatherapy is increasingly used as a holistic intervention, evidence regarding its effects on fatigue and sleep...

Genome-wide identification and tissue-specific profiling of microRNAs in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key post-transcriptional regulators involved in plant development, metabolism, and stress adaptation. Despite the agronomic importance of lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.), its miRNA landscape remains relatively underexplored. This study aimed to generate a c...

A Cross-Sectional Study of Food Insecurity, Mediterranean Diet Adherence, and Gut-Derived Metabolites and Their Associations with Glycemic Control and Macrovascular Complications in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the combined associations of food insecurity and Mediterranean diet adherence with glycemic control and to determine whether gut-derived metabolites differ according to food insecurity and macrovascular complication status in adults with...

Impact of PGPR-enriched tuff on biochemical characteristics, antioxidant enzyme activities and hormonal responses in walnut saplings

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most economically important tree nuts worldwide due to its nutritional and health-promoting properties. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in agriculture is increasing attention as a sustainable alternative to intensivel...

Isolation, genomic characterization, and biocontrol potential of a bacteriophage cocktail against Staphylococcus aureus in milk

The objectives of this study were to isolate, characterize, and evaluate the biocontrol potential of Staphylococcus aureus -targeting bacteriophages in milk. From wastewater and raw milk samples, a total of 19 lytic phages were isolated. Among them SAKAY1298 and SAKAY1306 phages...

Diagnosis, management, and prevention of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever: a Delphi-based consensus study in Türkiye

Background Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a widely distributed viral haemorrhagic fever with expanding geographic range. As new regions encounter the disease, clinicians must make high-stakes decisions despite limited standardised management frameworks. Methods In thi...

Machine learning-based prediction of morphophysiological, ionic, and biochemical responses of Lolium multiflorum to salinity stress

Salinity is a major constraint on the establishment and productivity of annual ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum Lam.). This study evaluated the effects of NaCl stress on the germination, growth, mineral composition, and biochemical responses of four annual ryegrass cultivars (‘Grass...

Effect of material configuration on the bending behavior of 3D-printed adhesively bonded sandwich core structures

Abstract This study investigated the bending performance of 3D-printed adhesively bonded sandwich core structures produced from multiple materials and assessed their potential use as structural components and energy absorbers in UAVs, considering their load-carrying capability an...

Protective or Therapeutic Effect of Exosomes Isolated From Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Cisplatin‐Induced Ovarian Damage

ABSTRACT Cisplatin (Cis), an index drug with the greatest gonadotoxic potential, affects both primordial follicles and developing follicles (pre‐antral) in vivo. Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes accelerate cell proliferation and wound healing. Exosomes have been shown to in...

Ternary Deep Eutectic Solvents in Analytical Chemistry: Design Principles, Sample-Preparation Strategies, and Emerging Sensing Applications

In this review, we emphasize on ternary deep eutectic solvents (TDESs) utilized in environmental and analytical chemistry for separation and sensing purposes in contrast to their binary counterparts, known as simple deep eutectic solvents (DESs). To ensure food security, high wat...
