Annona muricata Leaf Extract Rebalances Systemic Redox Status and Modulates Neuroimmune, Microbial, and Functional Responses in CLP-Induced Septic Rats

Oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and disturbed metabolic adaptation contribute to early sepsis pathophysiology. This exploratory study evaluated a commercial Annona muricata leaf extract in 40 male rats assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): healthy Control, laparotomy-onl...

‘Healthy Recipes by Little Chefs’: mother–child co-cooking for social skills and food literacy

Home–preschool connections and shared everyday routines support young children’s social development and emerging food literacy. This qualitative single-case study in a public preschool in rural Türkiye examines Healthy Recipes by Little Chefs (HRLC), a 5-week mother–child co-cook...

Clinical and radiological outcomes of junctura tendinum preservation versus transection and repair in plate fixation of metacarpal shaft fractures: a retrospective comparative study

The junctura tendinum (JT) are interconnecting bands between the extensor digitorum communis tendons on the dorsum of the hand. During dorsal plate fixation of metacarpal shaft fractures, these structures may need to be divided for adequate exposure, yet whether their transection...

Physics-guided attention neural network for interpretable and robust photovoltaic fault classification with strict external validation

Accurate and interpretable fault diagnosis in photovoltaic (PV) systems is essential for improving operational reliability and reducing energy losses. This study proposes a Physics-Guided Attention Neural Network (PGANN) for three-class PV fault classification, including Open-cir...

Measurement properties of instruments to measure lower limb functional ability and balance after technology-assisted physical activity interventions in community-dwelling older adults: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

With the growing evidence of technology-assisted interventions, psychometrically robust instruments are essential for evaluating their outcomes and providing evidence-based clinical decisions. This umbrella review aimed to determine lower-limb functional ability and balance instr...
