Purpose: Although 18 F-FDG-PET/CT is helpful in defining many types of cancer, localized prostate cancer should not be treated with this technique. This study describes the use of multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) to characterize incidental 18 F-FDG uptake in the prostate.
Methods And Materials: While 18 F-FDG-PET/CT is useful for characterizing a variety of cancers, it is not advised for prostate cancer that is localized.
Background: Nutrition literacy is an important component of health and healthy eating behaviors. The aim of this study was to determine the nutrition literacy (NL) status of white-collar employees and its relationship with adherence to the Mediterranean diet, anthropometric measurements, and lifestyle behaviors, including eating habits, dietary intake, and physical activity level.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 3459 white-collar employees aged 18-65 who lived in Türkiye.
This study explored how post-casting heat treatment and forging affected the tribological and microstructural characteristics of 0.20% beryllium (Be)-added CuAlNiFe alloys. The heat-treated CuAlNiFe microstructure exhibits a copper-rich α (alpha)-solid-solution phase, a martensitic β (beta)-phase, and diverse intermetallic κ (kappa)-phases, such as leaf-shaped κ, thin κ, and black globs.

- The oxidative pentose phosphate (OPP) pathway is crucial for generating metabolites and reducing power in cells, with its initial reactions supporting the Calvin-Benson cycle.
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) is the key enzyme in this pathway, regulated by the redox protein OpcA in cyanobacteria, showing different activity based on OpcA's oxidation state.
- Research using cryogenic electron microscopy revealed that OpcA interacts with G6PDH, causing structural changes that fine-tune G6PDH activity depending on the amount of OpcA bound, highlighting a sophisticated regulatory mechanism in the OPP pathway.
Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is an issue in the field of urology that is known for causing symptoms like urges to urinate frequently during the day and even at night (known as nocturia). Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) play a vital role in the growth and operation of nerve cells in the body. New studies are indicating a connection between these neurotrophins and OAB; As such this research project was undertaken to explore how levels of NGT and BDNF in urine might be related to the presence of OAB in individuals.
