Effect of virtual reality-based seizure management education program for parents (VR-ESMEPP) on seizure management: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of Virtual Reality-Based Seizure Management Education Program for Parents (VR-ESMEPP) that was designed to improve parents' knowledge-skill percentage about epileptic seizure, and motivation levels about educational material.

Methods: The study was conducted at a university hospital's pediatric neurology clinic in Turkey and involved both a VR-trained group and a control group. The parents' knowledge-skill percentage about epileptic seizure, and motivation levels about educational material were assessed before, after, and at 15 days after participating in VR-ESMEPP.

Production of human milk fat analogue containing docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acids.

Human milk fat (HMF) analogue containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) at sn-1,3 positions and palmitic acid (PA) at sn-2 position was produced. Novozym 435 lipase was used to produce palmitic acid-enriched hazelnut oil (EHO). EHO was then used to produce the final structured lipid (SL) through interesterification reactions using Lipozyme RM IM.

The use of olive tree (Olea europaea L.) leaves as a bioindicator for environmental pollution in the Province of Aydın, Turkey.

Introduction: In this study, olive tree leaves, collected from 50 sampling sites throughout the Province of Aydın, Turkey, were used to estimate level of pollution by measuring Al, As, B, Ba, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn concentrations and calculating pollution factor (PF) values.

Materials And Methods: After sample preparation, collected leaves were microwave digested, and extracts were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer.

Results And Discussion: The maximum PF values were ≥10 for a number of elements ranging from 11-13 (Al, As, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni) to >100 for Cu, Li, and Na.

Dietary agents in prevention of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of internal malignancy among men worldwide, with an annual incidence of 679,000 cases, and an annual mortality load of 220,000 deaths, making it the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality among men. It is generally on the increase. Environmental and lifestyle factors may have an aetiological role in prostate cancer and hence may provide potential targets for future intervention.
