The desire for future childbearing and associated factors among final-year medical students in Türkiye: a cross-sectional study

Türkiye’s total fertility rate has remained below the replacement level since 2017, while the demanding nature of medical education and residency training, together with the additional responsibilities associated with the medical profession, may influence future physicians’ desir...

Diagnosis, management, and prevention of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever: a Delphi-based consensus study in Türkiye

Background Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a widely distributed viral haemorrhagic fever with expanding geographic range. As new regions encounter the disease, clinicians must make high-stakes decisions despite limited standardised management frameworks. Methods In thi...

Radiographic, histological, and immunohistochemical comparison of allograft, xenograft, and combined graft in maxillary sinus augmentation: a prospective randomized clinical study

This prospective randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the radiographic, histological, and immunohistochemical outcomes of allograft, xenograft, and combined graft use in maxillary sinus augmentation. Patients with a residual alveolar bone height ≤ 4 mm in the posterior maxi...

Validation of the Turkish parent-reported Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R) for screening disordered eating behaviors in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes

Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of eating disorders, which have been associated with suboptimal metabolic control and an increased risk of complications. Reliable and culturally adapted screening tools are essential for early identification. However, the pa...

Prognostic Utility of the Mini Nutritional Assessment for Three-Month mortality in adult palliative care patients: A prospective cohort study

Malnutrition is highly prevalent among individuals receiving palliative care and represents a major, yet often under-recognized, determinant of adverse clinical outcomes, including mortality. In adult patients receiving palliative care, the interplay between malnutrition, frailty...

The relationship of shift timing with emergency cesarean delivery rate, decision-to-delivery interval, and neonatal outcomes: a retrospective cohort study

Variations in obstetric care across different shifts may affect the timing of emergency interventions and perinatal outcomes. However, evidence on the combined relationship of shift timing with emergency cesarean delivery rate, decision-to-delivery interval (DDI), and neonatal ou...

Effect of Long-Term Outdoor Storage on the Multi-Scale Structural and Mechanical Properties of Oriental Beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) and European Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) Wood

This study examines the effects of nearly six years of outdoor storage on the chemical, thermal, structural, micromorphological, and mechanical properties of European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) wood. Differences between fresh (cont...

Blood Pressure and Angina-Related Health Status During Benidipine Therapy: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Benidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome. Although it effectively lowers blood pressure (BP), the relationship between BP reduction and improvement in angina-related health status during b...

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...

Effect of post weld heat treatment on the crystallographic texture, microstructure, and microhardness of fiber laser beam welded laser powder bed fusion 316L austenitic stainless steel

In this study, 316L stainless steel parts produced via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) under a laser power of 190 W, a scanning speed of 1080 mm/s, and a layer thickness of 20 µm were joined using fiber laser welding at a power of 1.9 kW and a speed of 35 mm/s. The joints were sub...
