Phytochemical investigation of the roots of yielded a new phenylpropanoid, adenophoride () and a new polyacetylene, adenylene () along with four phenylpropanoids and a polyacetylene. The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including NMR, MS, UV and IR. Among the isolated compounds, phenylpropanoids including a new compound showed mild α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

- The study explored how pomegranate juice (PJ) could protect against the neurotoxic effects of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) exposure in rats, focusing on oxidative stress and cell death markers.
- Exposure to CCl4 significantly increased harmful markers of oxidative stress and cell death in brain tissue, while PJ treatment notably reduced these harmful effects and cell damage.
- The findings suggest that PJ may offer a natural protective strategy against neurodegenerative damage caused by environmental pollutants like CCl4.
Background: There is a lack of evidence regarding the effect of combining arm and leg training on arm exercise capacity, upper extremity functionality and safety in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of combined arm-leg endurance training (ET) with leg endurance training (ET) alone on arm exercise capacity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and safety issues in patients with ICDs.
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled study, 24 caucasian patients with an ICD (NYHA class II-III, mean age: 59.
Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and a leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Research is focusing on biomarkers linked to breast cancer, particularly two novel proteins: isthmin-1 (ISM-1) and spexin (SPX), which require further investigation.
Material And Methods: The study involved 20 healthy controls and 60 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma, categorized into three groups: Grade I (n=20), Grade II (n=20), and Grade III (n=20).
Purpose: To investigate clinical characteristics of postoperative supraciliary effusion (SCE) development following gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG).
Methods: In this prospective and observational study, 64 eyes (64 patients) with PEXG were examined with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) after GATT over a 12-month follow-up. Outcomes were surgical success, intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), number of antiglaucoma medications (AGM) and complications of the SCE (+) group with those of SCE (-) group.
