Pancreatic cancer is predicted to be the second highest cause of cancer deaths by 2030, with a mortality rate of 98 % and a 5-year survival rate of only 4-8 %. FOLFIRINOX which consists of four main ingredients has shown superior efficacy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to other agents and combinations. However, toxicities have prevented full-dose use of FOLFIRINOX.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common cause of goiter and acquired hypothyroidism in children after iodine deficiency. In this study, clinical and laboratory findings and follow-up results of children diagnosed with HT are presented. The data of cases diagnosed with HT between 2004 and 2022 in 2 centers in Erzurum were evaluated retrospectively.

- Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (TaVNS) is a non-invasive technique aimed at autonomic neuromodulation, with the placement of electrodes being crucial for its effectiveness.
- The study involved 76 healthy participants divided into four groups: in-ear TaVNS, behind-ear TaVNS, and their respective sham groups, with measurements taken for heart rate, blood pressure, and heart rate variability before and after stimulation.
- Results showed that in-ear TaVNS significantly decreased heart rate and blood pressure while increasing RMSSD (a heart rate variability measure), indicating it may be more effective than behind-ear TaVNS for autonomic modulation, although further research is needed.
Background: In recent years, human and animal studies have provided increasing evidence that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can produce analgesic effects as well as alleviating resistant epilepsy and depression. Our study was designed to compare the efficacy of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation with conventional low back rehabilitation in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Methods: Sixty patients with LBP were randomly divided into two groups.
Converting CO to synthetic hydrocarbon fuels is of increasing interest. In light of progress in electrified CO to ethylene, we explored routes to dimerize to 1-butene, an olefin that can serve as a building block to ethylene longer-chain alkanes. With goal of selective and active dimerization, we investigate a series of metal-organic frameworks having bimetallic catalytic sites.
