Algal Bioactive Metabolites with Important Roles in Wound Healing

A wound is defined as disruption or destruction of tissue integrity. In order to support healing in wound management, a good wound bed free of necrotic tissue and infection is desired, but intensive chemical antiseptics will cause cell destruction and delay healing. In order for...

Exploring Microencapsulated Magnesium Tetraborate: A Promising Flame‐Retardant Additive for Polyurethane‐Based Composites

ABSTRACT Boron compounds exhibit low toxicity and diverse molecular structures, rendering them effective flame‐retardant additives in polymer‐based materials through various mechanisms of action. Magnesium tetraborate (MTB) and melamine formaldehyde (MF) resin‐encapsulated MTB we...

Micronutrients in adult critically ill patients: lessons learned and the path toward precision

Purpose of review Despite strong biological plausibility, empiric high-dose micronutrient supplementation has failed to improve outcomes in critically ill patients. This review synthesizes evidence from the past 18 months and outlines the necessary transition toward biomarker-gui...

Comparative antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan and a high-potency papain gel (Brix 3000) as endodontic irrigants in deciduous teeth: an in vitro analysis

In cases of irreversible pulpitis, root canal treatment is preferred over extraction. The success of endodontic therapy depends on chemical irrigation in addition to mechanical preparation. Sodium hypochlorite, although widely used, has disadvantages, including unpleasant taste a...

Assessment of reproductive performance in dairy cows using explainable machine learning

Abstract. Reproductive performance is a key determinant of productivity and economic sustainability in dairy farming and is influenced by a complex interaction of biological and management-related factors. This study aimed to evaluate reproductive performance in dairy cows and to...

XIII-XIV. Yüzyılda Yunus Emre ve Naong Hyegeun: Halk Dili ve Mistik Söylem

Bu çalışma, XIII. ve XIV. yüzyıllarda Avrasya coğrafyasının iki farklı ucunda, Anadolu ve Kore yarımadalarında yaşamış iki mistik şair olan Yunus Emre (ö. 1320?) ve Naong Hyegeun (ö. 1376) üzerine karşılaştırmalı bir analiz sunmaktadır. Moğol İmparatorluğu’nun (İlhanlı ve Yuan Ha...

Driver distraction detection using a perspective-integrated multi-task and multi-expert learning framework

Driver distraction is a leading cause of traffic accidents worldwide, making reliable driver monitoring essential for intelligent transportation systems. However, most deep learning-based approaches rely on a single camera perspective, which reduces robustness under occlusion, a...

Mechanical and microstructural properties of Phaselis Roman mortar based on hydraulic lime characterization with calcite and recycled brick and optimization with Taguchi method

This research focuses on the sustainable use of materials by analyzing the chemical and mechanical effects of adding a hydraulic lime-based binder, calcite (CaCO 3 ), and recycled brick powder to Roman mortars from Phaselis. The main objective of the study was to determine the ef...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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