ZnAlFe mixed metal oxides (ZnAlFe-MMOs) were synthesized from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) prepared by the coprecipitation method at pH 9 using an initial weight composition of Zn = 75%, Al = 15% and Fe = 10%, with or without the addition of citric or oxalic acid. The solids were calcined at 400 °C to obtain the respective MMOs, which exhibited relatively high specific surface areas (165.3-63.

The aim of this study was to analyze the feasibility of a steroid-free tacrolimus-basiliximab immunosuppression scheme, the risk factors associated with steroid requirement, and safety parameters. Patients who underwent liver transplantation for biliary atresia between 2011 and 2019 were included and followed for 6 months after transplantation.

This study aimed to investigate autistic traits, executive functions, and self-regulation abilities of patients with IGD. Eighty-seven male patients with IGD and eighty-three male healthy controls (HC) were included in the study.

- A study aimed to understand how tacrolimus is absorbed in pediatric liver transplant patients who cannot take the medication orally, particularly focusing on those who are sedated or on mechanical ventilation.
- Researchers collected data from 26 children who underwent liver transplants and analyzed it using a sophisticated modeling software, revealing that tacrolimus behaves differently based on sedation status.
- The findings suggest that the model successfully describes the medication's absorption and could improve dosing strategies post-transplant once validated further.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine anthropometric and clinical correlates of persistence to methylphenidate (MPH) treatment in Turkish youth with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods: Data from medical records of 518 children and adolescents with ADHD were recorded between March 2012 and January 2022. Clinical variables of patients persistent to MPH ≥ 2 years were compared with those of the non-persistent group.
