Association Between Fractal Dimension and Rupture Status in Intracranial Saccular Aneurysms: A CTA-Based Study

Objective: To investigate the association between fractal dimension (FD) and rupture status in intracranial saccular aneurysms and to compare FD values between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Methods: This retrospective study included 145 patients with intracranial saccular an...

Consent architecture in biobanking: ethical attitudes and consent preferences among people with cancer and caregivers

Ethical and socially accountable biobanking depends on public trust and informed consent. Understanding how people with cancer and caregivers view biospecimen use is essential for designing consent models that respect autonomy and reflect cultural values. This study examined cons...

Impact of Atrium Design on Lighting in Shopping Malls: Prestige Mall, Istanbul

Shopping spaces, serving not only as centers of commerce but also as key areas promoting social interaction, are environments where users spend significant amounts of time. In such spaces, the limited capacity of buildings to utilize natural daylight poses challenges in terms of...

Relative Roles of Middle Ear Bulla Volume and Eustachian Tube Function in Diving-related Barotrauma: An Experimental Pressure Chamber Study in Guinea Pigs

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that isolated changes in middle ear air volume do not increase the risk of diving-related middle ear barotrauma, and that Eustachian tube function is the primary determinant of barotrauma development. Background: The relative contributions of middle ea...

Comparative Evaluation of Coronal Microleakage Associated with Different Intra-Orifice Barrier Protocols in Endodontically Treated Maxillary Anterior Teeth

Preventing coronal microleakage is crucial for long-term endodontic success; this ex vivo study compared the sealing performance of five intra-orifice barrier (IOB) material application protocols with that of a no-IOB control. Sixty maxillary anterior teeth were randomly assigned...

Effect of Low-Concentration Chlorhexidine Mouthrinses on the Microleakage of Class V Resin Composite Restorations: An In Vitro Study

Objective: This in vitro study investigated the effect of two daily-use mouthrinses containing 0.05% chlorhexidine (CHX), with or without cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), on the microleakage of standardized Class V resin composite restorations.Materials and Methods: Forty-five sou...

Divergent Prognostic Impact of Germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variants in Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Germline pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are established contributors to hereditary breast cancer, yet their separate prognostic effects in non-metastatic disease remain uncertain because they are frequently analyzed as a single group. Methods: We retrospective...

Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1) and TREM-2 as predictors of pathological complete response to neoadjuvant therapy in triple-negative breast cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer, characterized by early metastasis, high recurrence rates, and limited targeted therapy options. Pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is a well-establi...

Samipaşazade Sezai’nin Bir Yaz Gecesi Hikâyesinde Garbiyatçılık ve İdeal Genç Tasavvuru

Yenileşme dönemi Türk edebiyatının öncü isimlerinden biri de Samipaşazade Sezai’dir. Sağlığında, Sergüzeşt, Küçük Şeyler gibi eserleri yayımlayarak Türk edebiyatında ses getirmiş olan yazarın kitaplarına girmeyen başka eserleri de vardır. Bunlardan biri olan, 1925 yılında tefrika...

A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of the Melting and Solidification Processes of Hafnium Nanoparticles

Abstract In this study, the atomic structural and dynamic evolution of hafnium (Hf) nanoparticles (NP) during melting and cooling processes has been comprehensively investigated using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To observe the effect of size on thermal properti...

QT interval prolongation in the coronary intensive care unit: prevalence, associated drugs and clinical-genetic risk factors

We aimed to investigate the prevalence of QTc interval prolongation (QTcIP), QTc-prolonging drug exposure, and associated clinical and genetic risk factors in adult patients hospitalized in the Coronary Intensive Care Unit. This observational cohort study included 207 patients ho...

Investigation of functional independence and developmental areas in preschool children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy and cortical visual impairment

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects areas of development and functional independence. Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is an important problem frequently observed in children with CP. This study was planned to compare the functional independence and...

Environmental Information Saturation and Measurement-Induced Stable Localization A Testable Phenomenological Model Based on Effective Mass and Open-System Dynamics

AbstractThis study treats quantum measurement not as a process that must produce an instantaneous ontological collapse, but as an open-system process that spatially narrows a specified measurement record and stabilizes it against subsequent spreading. The proposed phenomenologica...

Artificial Intelligence-Based Optimal Energy and Water Management System in Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaic systems can improve renewable energy generation, water management, and agricultural productivity. This study proposes an artificial intelligence-assisted energy and water management framework integrating photovoltaic (PV) generation, battery energy storage systems, gr...

A two-wave longitudinal study of geometry self-efficacy and problem-posing in pre-service mathematics teachers

Understanding how geometry self-efficacy and problem-posing self-efficacy are related over time is important for informing teacher education programs. While cross-sectional studies have examined these constructs primarily at a single time point, their longitudinal interplay remai...

Compartment-Specific Immune, Endothelial, and Fibrotic Programs in Diabetic Retinopathy: An Integrative Multi-Cohort Transcriptomic Study

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is molecularly heterogeneous, but it is unclear whether immune-rich and endothelial-rich transcriptional patterns recur across retinal compartments. We integrated five public human transcriptomic datasets and analyzed PhysioNet CDED separa...

Quantum Entanglement and Proper-Distance Attenuation within the Framework of Relativistic Configuration Space and Universal Quantum Energy

ABSTRACT The representation of two spatially separated particles by a single entangled quantum state raises the question of whether their laboratory coordinate separation and their relational distance in the configuration space of the joint state are the same quantity. In this st...
