Hemorrhagic Risk in Vestibular Schwannoma Surgeries: Insights and Implications.

BACKGROUND Vestibular schwannoma is a slow-growing benign tumor arising from the 8th cranial nerve. It can originate in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the factors associated with outcomes following surgical resection of vestibular schwannoma in the CPA in 30 patients at a single center in Turkey, focusing on postoperative intratumoral hemorrhage.

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Foot Health Assessment Instrument in Pregnant Women.

During pregnancy, the foot is more in contact with the ground; the need for an increase in foot size, increased metacarpophalangeal laxity, and physical changes are among the most common foot problems. The study validated the Turkish Foot Health Assessment Instrument (FHAI) version. This study comprised 261 pregnant women receiving follow-ups at the outpatient clinic.

Protein oxidation: The effect of different preservation methods or phenolic additives during chilled and frozen storage of meat/meat products.

Lipid and protein oxidation have significant effects on the shelf-life and nutritional value of meat and meat products. While lipid oxidation has been extensively studied, it has been recognized that proteins are also susceptible to oxidation. However, the precise mechanisms of oxygen-induced amino acid and protein modifications in the food matrix remain unclear.

First Report of Influenza D Virus in Dairy Cattle in Pakistan.
