Three new Microbacterium species isolated from the Marmara Sea mucilage event: Microbacterium istanbulense sp. nov., Microbacterium bandirmense sp. nov., Microbacterium marmarense sp. nov.

Three bacterial strains, Mu-43, Mu-80, and Mu-86, were isolated from the 2021 and 2022 mucilage event in the Marmara Sea and were taxonomically characterized. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed that these strains belong to the genus Microbacterium. A polyphasic approach involving genomic and phenotypic analysis was employed to determine their taxonomic positions.

The Rush to Evaluate Response at the End of Treatment in Breast Cancer Patients Who Received Neoadjuvant Treatment: Which Tests are Effective in The Selection of Surgical Technique?

Introduction: Evaluating the treatment response after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is essential for determining the surgical approach and planning adjuvant therapy. A variety of imaging methods are available to monitor tumor response. Mammography (MG) and breast ultrasonography (US) combined with physical examination are the most commonly used assessment methods.

Comparison of Automated Versus Manual Analysis Programs for Quantification of Corneal Nerve Morphology in Patients With or Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Objectives: To assess the agreement between the automated analysis program and a manual program for quantification of corneal nerve morphology.

Methods: Twenty-seven non-diabetic controls (mean age: 48.6±5.

Comparison of two different intraocular lenses used in the modified Yamane technique.

Purpose: To compare AcrySof MA60AC (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA) and Sensar AR40e (Johnson and Johnson, Santa Ana, CA, USA) used in Yamane sutureless scleral fixation technique in terms of visual acuity, refractive stability, and complications.

Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in Istanbul Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: The first group consisted of patients with MA60AC lenses, while the second group consisted of patients with AR40e.
