Effects of alkaline pH and gallic acid enrichment on the physicochemical properties of sesame protein and common vetch starch-based composite films.

In this study, sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) meal protein and common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) starch were extracted and used to obtain biodegradable composite films at different pH values (7, 9, and 11).

Familial clustering of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the family of an adolescent with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the rare malignant diseases of childhood, of which only 1% occurs in children. In recent years, genetic factors have attracted attention in NPC. A very limited data have been reported about clustering within families.

A pediatric bithalamic high grade glioma with concomitant H3K27M and EGFR mutations.

Background: Despite many treatment approaches, survival rates in high grade glial tumors are still not at the desired level. One of the cause of this failure might be that although having similar histologic features, they may display different biological behaviors depending on molecular heterogeneity.

Case: A 10-year-old girl presented with sudden onset left sided hemiparesis, headache, and ataxia.

Risk factor analysis in women who underwent trial of labor after cesarean section: a multicenter study in Germany.

Objective: Rising caesarean delivery (CD) rates throughout the world are accompanied with high rates of severe maternal complications. The aim of the present study was to analyze the outcome of trial of labor after caesarean section (TOLAC) in a Western population and identify factors associated with the success of vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC).

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was performed at two large obstetric departments in Germany from 2008 to 2018.

Impact on the survival of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio on prognosis in children with Hodgkin lymphoma.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical utility of the recently described absolute neutrophil counts to absolute lymphocyte counts ratio (NLR), absolute platelet counts to absolute lymphocyte counts ratio (PLR), and absolute monocyte counts to absolute lymphocyte counts ratio (MLR) on prognosis in children with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical characteristics, laboratory features (lymphocyte counts, NLR, PLR, and MLR), treatment, and results of 52 children with HL in the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Selcuk University, konya, Turkey, from January 2006 until December 2021.

Results: The patients included 27 (51.
