Atmospheric-Hazard Enclosed-Space Accidents on Ships: A Barrier-Based Analysis of Accident Investigation Reports

Despite successive regulatory reforms, entry into enclosed spaces remains one of the deadliest operations in ship management. The IMO GISIS database was screened, and every case involving actual entry, atmospheric exposure and a death or injury was retained, yielding 39 official...

Coffeehouses as Symbolic Spaces: Materialism and Experiential Motivations in Coffeehouse Selection

The demand for coffeehouses has been growing globally; however, little is known about the psychological factors associated with individuals’ coffeehouse selection. Drawing on a value–motivation–intention framework, this study examines how materialism–coffeehouse as defining succe...

Multimodal genomic testing in prenatal diagnosis: incremental diagnostic contribution of chromosomal microarray and exome sequencing, real-world NIPT confirmation rates and pregnancy outcomes in 120 consecutive amniocenteses from northeastern Türkiye — a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Most evidence on chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and exome sequencing (ES) in prenatal diagnosis comes from high-volume centres. We evaluated the incremental diagnostic contribution of additional testing modalities, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) c...

Effects of tomato stalk waste–based growing media on postharvest quality and antioxidant capacity of tomato fruit during cold storage

Abstract Plant-waste-derived growing media have the potential to support circular soilless production; however, how raw and composted tomato stalk wastes affect the postharvest quality of tomato fruit remains insufficiently understood. In this study, raw tomato stalk waste (TSW)...

Genomic Diversity and Footprints of Selection in Hamdani Sheep

This study aimed to characterize the genomic diversity, population structure, and candidate regions consistent with selection in Hamdani (HAM) sheep using high-density SNP generated by double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq). A total of 20 animals were...

Modified Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (mEASIX) Predicts Long-Term Mortality in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes

Endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and microvascular injury are key mechanisms involved in the development and progression of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) and its derivatives have emerged as readily available biomarkers of...

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions Between Anti‐Asthma Drugs and Medicinal Plants: A Comprehensive Review

ABSTRACT Asthma affects 260–300 million people worldwide. About 20%–35% of patients use medicinal plants with their asthma medication, often without telling their clinicians. Disclosure rates are low; up to 42% of asthma outpatients use herbal products, with no records in their c...

Understanding the dynamics of decision-making in palliative care within collectivist contexts: integrative review

End-of-life decision-making in palliative care requires timely and compassionate communication to align care with patients’ goals and values. While shared decision-making is regarded as optimal for patient-centered care, its application in collectivist societies, where familial,...

Associations of cognitive beliefs and metacognitive processes with eating behavior in adults with obesity and healthy-weight controls: a cross-sectional study

Emotional and uncontrolled eating are common in obesity and may persist despite pharmacological or surgical treatment. Automatic thoughts and metacognitive beliefs may contribute to maladaptive eating, but have rarely been examined together while accounting for depression, anxiet...

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...

Curriculum Literacy in the Digital Age: Enhancing Pre-Service Teachers' Competence through Digital Literacy

Curriculum literacy is a core professional competence that enables pre-service teachers to interpret curricula accurately and translate curricular objectives into effective instructional practices. In digitally mediated learning environments, this competence may also support the...

Dual-task performance after primary and revision total knee arthroplasty: Comparison of mobility and dynamic balance

This study aimed to compare functional mobility and dynamic balance under single-task and dual-task conditions in patients after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and revision TKA, and to examine dual-task cost as an indicator of motor performance deterioration under cognitiv...

Risk of hepatitis B reactivation in COVID-19 patients receiving corticosteroid therapy

COVID-19 and HBV are significant public health issues, and managing their co-infection remains unclear. Corticosteroid therapy improves survival in severe COVID-19 but may increase the risk of HBV reactivation (HBVr). Evidence regarding the incidence and outcomes of HBVr in COVID...

Online-Initiated Contact and Child Sexual Abuse Severity: A Forensic Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: Digital technologies have created new pathways through which perpetrators can initiate contact with children, yet evidence directly comparing child sexual abuse (CSA) cases according to the mode of first contact between the victim and the perpetrator remain...

The Efficacy of Sacubitril/Valsartan in the Treatment of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: A Retrospective Analysis of Four Cases

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare form of cardiomyopathy that develops in the last months of pregnancy or during the postpartum period and is characterized by a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction below 45%. The diagnosis and management of PPCM can be difficul...

Clinical and pathological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma in colon cancer: comparison with classic adenocarcinoma

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon is defined by extracellular mucin occupying at least 50% of the tumour. Although it is often regarded as a distinct histological subtype, its clinicopathological profile remains variable across published series. We compared mucinous and classi...

C-Reactive Protein-to-Albumin Ratio and Its Association with Inflammatory and Renal Parameters in Multiple Myeloma

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by systemic inflammation and frequent renal involvement. The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) has emerged as a potential inflammation-based biomarker; however, its clinical significance in MM r...

Effect of light-curing modes on degree of conversion and color stability of flowable bulk-fill composites: an in vitro experimental study

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of light-curing modes on the degree of conversion (DC) and color change (CIEDE2000 color difference, ΔE00) of different flowable composite resins. Methods: A total of 120 specimens (n = 10 per group) were prepared from four mater...

Impact of adjuvant endocrine therapy on disease-free survival in early triple-positive breast cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study of the Turkish oncology group

Triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC), characterized by concurrent ER, PR, and HER2 positivity, poses unique therapeutic challenges due to ER–HER2 crosstalk. The optimal adjuvant endocrine therapy in TPBC patients receiving anti-HER2 regimens remains poorly defined. This multicent...

An exploratory patient-specific finite element study of temporomandibular joint stress distribution following mandibular setback surgery in two distinct clinical scenarios

Mandibular setback surgery is commonly performed to correct skeletal Class III malocclusion, but its effects on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) biomechanics remain unclear, particularly regarding different setback configurations. This pilot study aimed to explore patterns of TMJ st...
