Turkish adaptation and psychometric test of the health literacy scale in old age.

To determine the validity and reliability of the Health Literacy Scale in Old Age in Turkish and to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. A total of 450 older individuals aged over 65 years living in a community in a province of Türkiye constituted the sample of this research. Data were collected using a personal information form, the European Health Literacy Short Form, and the Health Literacy Scale in Old Age.

Determining Adults' Attitudes towards Cancer Screening, Information Load, and Mythical Causes of Cancer.

Purpose: To determine the attitudes of adults presenting to primary care services toward cancer screening, information overload, and mythical causes of cancer.

Design: Descriptive and correlational type study.

Methods: The research was conducted face-to-face with 702 adults.

Mono- and Binuclear Complexes in a Centrifuge-Less Cloud-Point Extraction System for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Zinc(II).

The hydrophobic reagent 6-hexyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (HTAR) was investigated as part of a cloud-point extraction (CPE) system for the spectrophotometric determination of Zn(II). In the system, complexes with different stoichiometries, including 1:1 and 2:2 (Zn:HTAR), are formed. Their ground-state equilibrium geometries were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G level of theory.

Designing Advanced Cross-Linked Proton Exchange Membranes with Enhanced Structural Homogeneity and Proton Conductivity via Radiation-Induced RAFT Polymerization.

This study introduces an innovative approach to fabricate well-defined cross-linked proton exchange membranes (PEMs) using radiation-induced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated polymerization on cost-effective ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) films. The incorporation of the RAFT mechanism into the cross-linking process significantly enhanced structural homogeneity, providing uninterrupted proton conductivity. Thorough characterizations confirmed the successful grafting of polystyrene (PS) chains onto ETFE films and subsequent sulfonation.

Evaluation of Long-term Posterior Segment Parameters in Children Who Had Recovered From Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome.

Background And Objective: To evaluate long-term posterior segment findings in children recovering from multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Patients And Methods: Our study included 22 patients who were admitted to an intensive care unit with a diagnosis of MIS-C between November 2021 and March 2022, and 25 healthy controls. The study included pediatric patients who had an eye examination an average of 12.
