Saffron extract (SE) was electrospun into pullulan-pectin (Pl-Pc), pullulan-pea protein-pectin (Pl-Pp-Pc), or zein nanofibers (NFs) for transdermal food supplement. The in vitro transdermal permeation mechanism and kinetics of SE from NFs were studied and compared with those of in vitro digestion. The ATR-FTIR spectra of NFs provided information on the interactions between SE and wall biopolymers.

- The study investigated the link between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and two markers of insulin resistance: the triglyceride/glucose (TyG) index and the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Tg/HDL-C) ratio.
- Data from 15,378 individuals were examined, revealing that 35.1% of patients had DN, with females showing a 10% higher risk compared to males.
- The TyG index indicated a significant risk for DN when above 9.58, while the Tg/HDL ratio was significant in early analysis but lost significance in more complex analysis.
Malignant mesenchymal thyroid tumors are one of the rarest types of thyroid cancer. Clinically, these tumors present as a rapidly growing thyroid mass. Due to their rarity and nonspecific findings, they are not the first conditions that come to mind during differential diagnosis.

Mulibrey Nanism is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a variety of systemic manifestations, including cardiac involvement. We report the case of a 26-year-old male who underwent partial pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis at age 4 and presented to our cardiology clinic with heart failure symptoms. Examination revealed dysmorphic features characteristic of Mulibrey Nanism such as short stature, macrocephaly, and hypertelorism.

There are concerns that approaches such as limited personal visits to doctors, avoidance of hospitals, and restrictions on nonemergency surgical procedures during the coronavirus disease of 2019 pandemic pose a threat to those with diabetic foot problems, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), ischemia, and infection, resulting in increased limb loss and mortality.
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in 14 tertiary care hospitals from various regions of Turkey.
