Analysis of metaheuristic‑optimized ann for predicting surface strip footing bearing capacity in layered cohesionless soils using limit equilibrium analysis

Accurate prediction of shallow-foundation bearing capacity in layered cohesionless soils remains challenging because footing geometry and the strength contrast between soil layers interact nonlinearly. This study developed and compared four hybrid multilayer perceptron models opt...

Treatment Efficacy of Imidocarb Dipropionate in Saanen Goats Experimentally Infected with Babesia aktasi

Babesia aktasi is a recently discovered species that is highly prevalent in native goats in Türkiye’s Mediterranean region. Although it does not induce clinical disease in local breeds, it causes severe illness in Saanen goats, manifesting with high fever, anemia, hemoglobinuria,...

The Role of Immature Granulocyte Count and Percentage as Novel Indicators of Systemic Inflammation in Plaque Psoriasis

Background/Objective: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease with systemic involvement. Immature granulocytes (IGs) are potential inflammatory markers, but their role in psoriasis is unclear. We evaluated immature granulocyte count (IG#) and percentage (IG%)...

Investigation of the Protective Effect of Morin on Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Malathion‐Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats

ABSTRACT Malathion (MAL) is a widely used organophosphate pesticide associated with hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress and apoptosis. Morin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, exhibits potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. This study investigated oxidative stres...

Integrated serum and synovial biomarker profiling reveals inflammatory and cartilage remodeling signatures in age-restricted knee osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease characterized by inflammation, cartilage degeneration, and tissue remodeling. Although many biomarkers have been investigated, the combined biological significance of systemic and local biomarkers is not fully understood. This study a...

Metabolic responses of diet–exercise combinations in women with obesity: a comparative lifestyle intervention study with different diet types

Obesity represents a major global public health challenge, particularly among women, and is associated with adverse metabolic and endocrine outcomes. his study evaluated the effects of ketogenic, intermittent fasting (IF), and semi-vegetarian diets, alone or combined with home-ba...
