Reservoir Regulation and Meteorological–Streamflow Coupling: A Multi-Region Matched-Basin Analysis with Drought-Event Diagnostics

Reservoirs can alter river responses to climatic water deficits, but distinguishing regulation-associated differences from hydroclimatic variability remains difficult. We use a large-sample matched-basin design to compare full-record meteorological–soil-moisture and meteorologica...

“On-Site Family Screening” in Fabry Disease: An Innovative Model for Identifying At-Risk Relatives

Background: Fabry disease remains underdiagnosed despite the availability of effective therapies. Although cascade screening is recommended for identifying at-risk relatives, its implementation is often limited by practical and accessibility barriers, resulting in missed or delay...

Intradialytic Hemodynamic Instability and Delirium in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Renal Replacement Therapy: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) is common in critically ill patients and is frequently accompanied by delirium. Intradialytic hemodynamic instability, particularly hypotension, may impair cerebral perfusion; however, its quantitativ...

Mass-momentum synergistic transport criterion in gravity-controlled closed phase-change systems: Numerical validation using nanofluid-enhanced heat pipes

In closed phase-change heat transfer system under gravitational control, the essence of coordinating the material basis (mass source) and the driving potential (momentum source) to maintain efficient circulation dynamics lies in the fact that the geometric topology of the liquid...

Parental healthliteracy as a predictor of caregiver burden among parents of children with type1 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study

This study aimed to examine the relationship between health literacy levels and caregiver burden among parents of children diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 156 parents of children diagnosed with T1DM. Da...

Relationship Between Health Literacy and Rational Drug Use in Primary Care

Aim: To determine health literacy and rational drug use levels among adults attending a primary care family health center, quantify their association, and identify independent predictors using multivariable regression analysis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with...

A Group of Agricultural Tools from the Sivas Archaeology Museum Collection

The subject of this article consists of 5 sickles belonging to the collection of Sivas Archaeology Museum. Sickles are metal agricultural tools consisting of a curved cutting part and neck sections deliberately prepared for the attachment of a handle. The findspots of the 5 sickl...

Cycling-related injuries demonstrate the highest hospitalization proportion, whereas exercise-related activities account for the largest injury burden: a 12-year national epidemiological analysis

Sports- and recreation-related injuries represent a substantial public health burden, yet comprehensive national analyses comparing high-volume activities across all age groups remain limited. The purpose of this study was to describe temporal patterns, demographic distributions,...

‘Africans Against Malaria’—introducing a new diaspora-led initiative to strengthen malaria prevention amongst UK-based travellers visiting friends and relatives in malaria-endemic African countries

Use of malaria prevention methods, particularly chemoprophylaxis, amongst the UK-based African diaspora is low; a long-standing issue that remains inadequately addressed. Here, we present ‘Africans Against Malaria’, a unique initiative ‘led by Africans, for Africans’ to improve m...

The Relationship between the Brent Price and Export: Turkish Case

This paper analysis the effect of oil price on Türkiye’s export. When oil price jumps, Türkiye’s export might cripple since the production cost rises at home. Since the Turkish export goods are price sensitive, it cannot pass it to the prices because of the competitive market. We...

The association of physical activity levels with motivational function, cognitive function, and psychological resilience in para-athletes

This research explored the relation between physical activity levels, motivational function, cognitive function, and psychological resilience among para-athletes. A total of 100 para-athletes (57% male, 43% female; mean age 31.0 ± 9.2 years) registered with the Turkish Federation...

Effectiveness of SWEEPS, XP-endo finisher and passive ultrasonic irrigation in calcium hydroxide removal: A micro-computed tomography study

PURPOSE: This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming (SWEEPS), XP-endo Finisher (XPF), Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI), and Conventional Syringe Irrigation (CSI) in the removal of calcium hydroxide (CH) from the mesi...

Performance, Biomechanical Demands, Injury Burden, and Health Surveillance in Wheelchair Court Sports and Selected Para Sport Cohorts: A Systematic Review

Background: Research examining performance, biomechanics, workload, injury, and health in Para sport is heterogeneous and is particularly focused on wheelchair-based sports. This systematic review synthesized quantitative evidence focused predominantly on wheelchair basketball, w...

An Independent Predictor of Technical Success in Patients with Chronic Total Occlusions: The Atherogenic Index of Plasma

OBJECTIVE: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been increasingly associated with coronary artery disease and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical relevance of AIP in predicting technical success in percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...

Thermo‐Responsive Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Poly(Isobutyl Methacrylate) Polymer Blends

ABSTRACT In this research, elastomeric thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and amorphous poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (PiBMA) were used to prepare polymer blends with compositions of 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50 (wt%) via melt blending. Morphological analysis revealed that c...
