The Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program is a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded effort to enhance our understanding of the neural circuitry responsible for visceral control.

The aim was to investigate trends in AAM, menstrual characteristics, and post-menarcheal anthropometric parameters in adolescents living in an urban area in Türkiye between 1999 and 2018.
Methods: Female adolescent high school students in the Manisa region were asked about menarche and socioeconomic status (SES).
Objective: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients with self-limiting epilepsy with centrotemporal spike wave (SeLECTS), as well as the electroclinical features associated with this comorbid condition and the neurocognitive effects using psychometric tests. Additionally, we analysed the electrophysiological findings and neurocognitive status of patients with ADHD to estimate the prevalence of epilepsy and neurocognitive effects in the ADHD population and evaluate their clinical features.
Method: The study included patients diagnosed with SeLECTS and ADHD who were matched for age and gender.
The rapid and efficient mineralization of the chemotherapeutic drug busulfan (BSF) as the target pollutant has been investigated for the first time by three different heterogeneous EF systems that were constructed to ensure the continuous electro-generation of HO and OH consisting of: i) a multifunctional carbon felt (CF) based cathode composed of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), iron oxide nanoparticles and carbon black (CB) (rGO-FeO/CB@CF), ii) rGO modified cathode (rGO/CB@CF) and rGO supported FeO (rGO-FeO) catalyst and iii) rGO modified cathode (rGO/CB@CF) and multi walled carbon nanotube supported FeO (MWCNT-FeO) catalyst. The effects of main variables, including the catalyst amount, applied current and initial pH were investigated. Based on the results, HO was produced by oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the liquid-solid interface of both fabricated cathodes.
