Ultrasound-Independent Rapid Triage in Pediatric Appendicitis via Explainable AI

Ultrasonography (USG) is central to the diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis, but operator dependency and limited access can delay triage. This study aimed to develop an explainable machine learning model that estimates the USG-assisted clinical diagnosis of appendicitis from pre-...

Evaluation of Antioxidant, Anticholinesterase, and Antiproliferative Activities of Sparganium erectum Extracts

In the present study, the antioxidant capacity, cholinesterase-inhibitory activity, and antiproliferative effects of Sparganium erectum extracts were investigated. Antioxidant analyses showed that the ethanol extract had a total antioxidant status (TAS) of 2.925±0.023 mmol/L, a t...

Split Versus Single Applications of Solid and Liquid Vermicompost: Impacts on Growth, Chlorophyll Content and Soil Characteristics of Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) Seedlings

Limited information is available on how vermicompost form, form-specific dose, and application schedule jointly affect tea seedling development. This 135-day humid outdoor nursery study evaluated solid and liquid vermicompost applied at two doses as either single or three split a...

Consensus Ensembles for Zero-Shot Algorithm Classification with Large Language Models

Manual classification of algorithmic problems is costly and inconsistent, although it remains essential for curriculum sequencing, recommendation systems, and quality control on competitive programming platforms. To address this limitation, this study investigates whether consens...

Effect of Chiral Arm Angle on the Stiffness, Auxeticity and Energy Absorption of Polyamide-12 Tetra-Chiral Lattices Under Quasi-Static Compression: A Numerical Baseline Study

Chiral auxetic lattices convert axial loading into node rotation, producing negative Poisson’s ratios and high energy absorption. This purely numerical study establishes a quasi-static baseline for additively manufacturable polyamide-12 (PA12) tetra-chiral lattices in which the c...

Limited Incremental Value of Six Haemogram-Derived Inflammatory Indices for Detecting Endometrial Carcinoma and Intraepithelial Neoplasia in Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: A Case–Control Study

Background/Objectives: Haemogram-derived inflammatory indices are proposed as inexpensive markers of endometrial neoplasia, but almost all supporting evidence is prognostic, from women already known to have carcinoma. We compared six indices head-to-head and asked whether any imp...

The effect of pilates on sleep quality in pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy and are associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Non-pharmacological interventions, particularly exercise, are increasingly recommended to improve sleep quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Pilates exercise...

Ecology, Theology, and Creaturely Belonging in Kathleen Jamie and Âşık Veysel

Nursing Students' Reports of Patient Safety Incidents and Reasons During Clinical Placements: A Secondary Analysis of the International Data

ABSTRACT Clinical placements expose nursing students to patient safety incidents and provide important opportunities for learning about safe care. This study explored how nursing students in four countries recognized and interpreted patient safety incidents encountered or witness...

Explainable Cross-Dataset Violence Detection for Public Safety Using a Two-Stream I3D Network

Camera networks now cover almost every public space, but the footage they generate has long outpaced what any human team can watch in real time. That gap is exactly where automated violence detection earns its place. The hard part is ambiguity—a hug or a bit of play-fighting can...

Protective effects of flunarizine and ATP against pembrolizumab-associated gastric injury in rats

Abstract Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting pro-grammed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), is widely used in cancer therapy. However, its potential gastrotoxic effects and underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Flunarizine has antioxidant, calciu...

Short-Term Effects of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Addition to Physiotherapy on Spasticity, Walking Performance, and Quality of Life in Chronic Stroke: A Sham-Controlled Randomized Trial

Introduction This study evaluated the short-term effects of adding a 4-week radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) program to standardized physiotherapy on spasticity, walking performance, lower-extremity motor function, and health-related quality of life in chronic str...

Imitative Architecture and Cultural Sustainability: A Quantitative Analysis of Seljuk Heritage Representation in Contemporary Turkish Buildings

In contemporary building design, historical environments and buildings serve as important references for interpreting architectural materials, colors, proportions, construction methods, and facade elements. Imitative architecture reproduces or reinterprets recognizable characteri...

Climate Risk Perception and Support for Cost-Bearing Environmental Action: A Social Constraint on Sustainability Transitions in Türkiye’s Mediterranean Region

Sustainability transitions depend on public willingness to carry the costs they impose, yet recognition of climate risk does not necessarily extend to support for measures that place those costs directly on households. This exploratory cross-sectional study examines that distinct...
