Psychological resilience and quality of life in bipolar disorder: a comparison of BD-I and BD-II patients

Abstract Background Individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) exhibit lower psychological resilience and quality of life (QoL) than healthy individuals, but whether these outcomes differ between bipolar I disorder (BD-I) and bipolar II disorder (BD-II) remains unclear. This study co...

Real-world outcomes of children with first relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated according to the ALL-IC REL 2016 guideline in Türkiye

Relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains a major challenge in pediatric oncology, particularly where access to modern immunotherapies is limited. This national multicenter study evaluated real-world outcomes of children with first relapsed ALL treated according to the...

Muscle Strength Changes After Bariatric Surgery: Associations with Sex and Hemoglobin

This study aimed to evaluate changes in muscle strength after bariatric surgery and identify factors associated with these changes. This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January 2013 and December 2019 and had complete baseline a...

Turkish Adaptation and Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of the Mirror Image Comfort and Avoidance Scale (MICAS) in University Students

Mirror viewing is closely related to body image and self-evaluation. The Mirror Image Comfort and Avoidance Scale (MICAS) assesses individuals’ comfort with and avoidance of viewing their own reflection. This study aimed to culturally adapt the MICAS into Turkish and evaluate its...

Genre subversion and absurd humor in Ali Atay’s cinema

A new dwarf Polygonum L. species, Polygonum muhammetdalcii, is described from Hatay Province, Türkiye, and compared with the allied species P. corrigioloides and P. polycnemoides. It is distinguished by a combination of vegetative and reproductive characters. The specimens displa...

Scenario-based ESG scoring for sustainable financial investments using an advanced multi-facet fuzzy system

Sustainable financial investments are emerging as a multidimensional decision-making area that requires a holistic assessment of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. However, the literature demonstrates that the relative importance of each of these criteria on in...

Clinical indications and determinants of field-of-view selection in cone-beam computed tomography among pediatric patients: a two-center cross-sectional study

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is increasingly used in pediatric dentistry, but field-of-view (FOV) selection should be carefully optimized to minimize radiation exposure in young patients. This study aimed to describe the distribution of clinical indications, region of int...

A sustainable approach to the treatment of textile reverse osmosis concentrate using the photo-Fenton process

Textile industry wastewater consists of colored wastewater containing high concentrations of organic matter, complex components, reactive dyes, and chemical residues. While reverse osmosis (RO) membrane systems are frequently used to sustainably manage high-volume wastewater stre...

Assessing Gamma Index Sensitivity to Selected Linear Accelerator Mechanical Errors Using Various Dosimetric Systems

Background: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) involves highly modulated dose distributions and steep dose gradients, increasing the importance of patient-specific quality assurance (QA). Gamma index analysis is widely used for compa...

Synthesis, Characterization, Biological Evaluation and In Silico Studies of Some New Thiazole Derivatives

Background/Objectives: The thiazole ring is one of the core structures frequently favored in the design of new active compounds. Methods: A series of thiazole derivatives bearing a benzodioxole scaffold (1-9) were synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant, anticholinesteras...

Prediction of 30-Day Complicated Clinical Course in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Prospective Cohort Comparison of the ESC, Bova, and Modified FAST Models

Background/Objectives: Risk stratification of hemodynamically stable acute pulmonary embolism guides the intensity of monitoring and the site of care, but the available tools use different variables and may classify the same patients differently. We aimed to compare the prognosti...

Epidural Electrical Stimulation Within an Integrated Rehabilitation Pathway for Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Safety and 12-Month Functional Outcomes

Background/Objectives: Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) is an investigational, off-label neuromodulation strategy used adjunctively with rehabilitation in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), but safety and longitudinal functional data specific to traumatic cervical SCI remain...
