Effects of Structured Functional Turning Practice Within a Time-Matched Exercise Program on Functional Mobility, Gait Speed, and Balance in Early-Stage Parkinson’s Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background/Objectives: Turning frequently precipitates falls in Parkinson’s disease (PD) but is rarely trained systematically. We examined whether replacing part of a conventional exercise session with structured turning practice improves functional mobility, gait speed, and bala...

Popular Post-Exercise Recovery Methods: Popularity Versus Scientific Evidence (A Critical Narrative Review)

Post-exercise recovery is central to sustaining athletic performance and optimizing training adaptations. In recent years, numerous recovery methods have become popular in both sport science and applied practice; however, their popularity often does not parallel their scientific...

Investigation of the Effects of Interactions Between Deltamethrin and Acrylic Paint Particles on Embryonic Development in Xenopus laevis

The co-occurrence of pesticides and paint-related contaminants in aquatic ecosystems may result in interactions that modify their individual toxic effects; however, the developmental consequences of their combined exposure remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated...

Temporal Changes in Anthropometric Circumferences and Bioimpedance-Derived Body Composition During Eight Weeks of Reformer Pilates in Young Women Without Regular Exercise Participation

Background: Evidence on Pilates-related body composition is inconsistent, and few studies track changes during programs. Objective: To assess body mass, bioimpedance-derived body-fat percentage and muscle mass, and seven circumferences at baseline, week 4, and week 8 of supervise...

Renal Complications After Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Kidney-related complications contribute substantially to morbidity in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), although evidence in pediatric populations remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of acute kidney...

Investigation of Quiet Quitting and Burnout Levels Among Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Students: A Descriptive and Correlational Study

Background/Objectives: Quiet quitting is characterized by reduced commitment and reluctance to exceed expected role responsibilities, whereas burnout reflects the depletion of emotional resources due to work and educational demands. This study aimed to examine the relationship be...

Impact of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on Pathological Outcomes and Survival in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is recommended for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC); however, its impact on survival outcomes remains controversial in real-world clinical settings. This retrospective observational study evaluated the effect of NAC on pathologica...

Investigation of Piezoresistive Behaviors in TPMS Lattice Structures Produced with MWCNT-Reinforced PLA Filament

Although the piezoresistive behavior of conductive polymer composites has been widely studied, the geometry-dependent piezoresistive response of MWCNT/PLA-based TPMS lattice structures produced by fused filament fabrication (FFF) remains insufficiently explored. The primary objec...

Association Between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Status and Long-Term Marginal Bone Loss Around Dental Implants

Background and Objectives: The objective was to evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] measured before functional loading and long-term peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 60 systemically he...

Removal of carbofuran from aqueous solutions using activated carbon derived from Pistacia khinjuk stocks (bıttım) shell waste

Abstract Pesticides are important environmental pollutants that require effective removal to protect ecosystems and human health. This study investigated carbofuran removal from water using KOH-activated carbon derived from Pistacia khinjuk Stocks (bıttım) shell waste. The result...

Gendered horizontal stratification in public universities in Türkiye

This study examines the reproduction of gender-based horizontal stratification in income-generating research centers of public universities in Türkiye. Drawing on structural inequality theories and the gendered organization approach, universities are conceptualized as segmented l...

Time-dependent changes in dental and alveolar tissues in kidney disease

This study aimed to investigate the impact of chronic kidney disease on mineralization in dental and associated hard tissues and to characterize its time-dependent progression using micro-computed tomography and histological analyses. Six groups were established in a rat model, i...

Associations of the will to live with loneliness and psychological resilience in young and middle-aged Turkish adults

The will to live is a key motivational resource related to meaning, adaptation, and well-being. Most previous research has focused on older adults in Western countries, with limited evidence in younger populations and non-Western contexts. This study examined the relationships be...

Regime-Aware Deployment Validity of Flow-Based IDS

Flow-based intrusion detection studies often report strong benchmark scores, but their relevance to future traffic remains uncertain. This paper treats IDS behavior as regime-dependent and proposes an evaluation protocol under temporal shift, family novelty, and combined shift. F...

The Effect of Emotional Freedom Techniques on Death Anxiety and Cancer‐Related Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Oncological Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the effect of emotional freedom techniques (EFT) on death anxiety in patients experiencing postsurgery cancer‐related anxiety. A total of 120 oncological surgical patients were randomly allocated to either the intervention group (...

Development and Psychometric Validation of the Political Silence Scale

Political silence refers to the failure of political thought to translate into political action for various reasons. Individuals may remain silent out of fear that future interests will be harmed or to secure specific benefits. This study aims to conceptualize political silence a...

Melatonin and vitamin E attenuate acetamiprid induced hepatic injury in male mice

Acetamiprid (ACMP), a neonicotinoid insecticide widely used in agriculture, induces systemic toxicity via oxidative stress. This study investigated the potential protective effects of Melatonin (Mel) and Vitamin E (Vit E) against ACMP-induced hepatotoxicity using biochemical, his...

Half-space involvement in goal-scoring sequences in elite European football: a multi-league spatial analysis
