Nutritional analysis of vegan recipes: From social media to plate.

The study aimed to determine the nutritional composition of vegan recipes shared on the Instagram social media platform and to compare these ingredients with their non-vegan/omnivorous versions. Turkish and English vegan recipes of meatballs ( = 53), burgers ( = 12), pizza ( = 15), pasta ( = 38), cake ( = 58), and cookies ( = 52) were obtained from Instagram. They all met the criteria of being shared as #vegan labeled, presented detailed information about ingredients, and only included plant-based ingredients.

Liver Stiffness and Steatosis Measurements with iLivTouch and FibroScan: A Comparative Study.

The presence of liver fibrosis is the most important indicator of progression to cirrhosis. Noninvasive measurement of liver stiffness is crucial for detecting fibrosis. Vibration-controlled transient elastography is one of the most useful methods for this purpose.

Percutaneous Treatment of Hydatid Cysts with the Örmeci Technique.

Background/aims:: The percutaneous route is accepted as the most convenient course in the management of hydatid cysts (HCs). The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy of the Örmeci technique used in the treatment of hydatid cysts.

Materials And Methods:: This is a retrospective cohort study.

Assessment of Nutritional Composition of Turkish Red Crescent Menus After the M7.8 and M7.6 Earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the nutritional content and quality of the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) menus delivered to earthquake victims after the 2023 earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye.

Methods: The menus of general, search-rescue, diabetes, and celiac were obtained from the TRC following the magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.

Determination of the relationship between CD34+ stem cell amount and DMSO in hematopoetic stem cell transplantation.

It is important to calculate the CD34+ stem cell (SC) count at the right time in patients with hematological malignancies who will undergo Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). The amount of SC infused into the patient affects the engraftment time and healing process of the patient. In this study, we aimed to compare which of the DMSO-not removed and DMSO-removed samples showed the CD34 + SC amount more accurately as the SC amount determination method after the SC was dissolved after cryopreservation in patients who will undergo HSCT.

Combination of St. John's Wort Oil and Neem Oil in Pharmaceuticals: An Effective Treatment Option for Pressure Ulcers in Intensive Care Units.

: Phytotherapeutically, various herbal remedies, such as St. John's wort oil, have been introduced as wound care options. Recently, Neem oil has been considered a herbal option for the management of superficial wounds.

Patients experienced serious adverse reactions within one hour of hematopoietic stem-cell infusion.

Methods: SARs were examined occurred within 1 hour after initiating HSC product infusions in all HSCT done in Turkey's Anadolu Medical Center Hospital accredited for HSCTs between 2013 and 2015, targeting 315 patients.

Results: SARs were carefully evaluated in this study based on a comparison of the amount of stem cells infused, age, frozen sample (FS) / non-frozen samples (NFS) between HSCs sources. Rate of SARs is significantly higher in FS infusions supports the hypothesis that DMSO plays an important role in the development of SAR.

A novel differential diagnosis algorithm for chronic lymphocytic leukemia using immunophenotyping with flow cytometry.

Introduction: The availability of a clinical decision algorithm for diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may greatly contribute to the diagnosis of CLL, particularly in cases with ambiguous immunophenotypes. Herein we propose a novel differential diagnosis algorithm for the CLL diagnosis using immunophenotyping with flow cytometry.

Methods: The hierarchical logistic regression model (Backward LR) was used to build a predictive algorithm for the diagnosis of CLL, differentiated from other lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs).
