From Dielectric to Electro-Responsive Thermoplastics: An Approach Based on Electro-Thermal Reorientation and Charged Gas Activation.

The transition from insulator to electro-responsive has been successfully achieved by earlier studies for some inorganic materials by applying external stimuli that modify their 3D and/or electronic structures. In the case of insulating polymers, this transition is frequently accomplished by mixing them with other electroactive materials, even though a few physical treatments that induce suitable chemical modifications have also been reported. In this work, a smart approach based on the application of an electro-thermal reorientation process followed by a charged gas activation treatment has been developed for transforming insulating 3D printed polymers into electro-responsive materials.

The impact of occupational accidents on operating costs and occupational health and safety costs on the number of occupational accidents - an application in the aviation sector.

This article examines the dual effects of occupational health and safety cost (OHSC) fluctuations due to the occupational accident number (OAN), and the impact of the OAN on operating period costs (OPCs). Initially, OHSCs, OANS and other operational data from the company were compiled to build a foundational infrastructure. Subsequently, econometric analysis using regression techniques was conducted to identify relationships between OHSCs and OANs, and between OHSCs and OPCs.

The effects of microsurgical varicocelectomy performed for infertility on premature ejaculation.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of varicocelectomy on premature ejaculation (PE) in patients with varicocele and infertility.

Methods: A total of 82 sexually active patients aged 18 years or over who had undergone microscopic subinguinal varicocelectomy with a clinical diagnosis of varicocele in 14 urology clinics between October 2021 and March 2023 with primary infertility were evaluated prospectively Patients were evaluated using the Turkish validated form of the 'Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool' (PEDT) scale. A PEDT score of 11 or above was taken to indicate the presence of PE.

Efficacy and Safety of Zolbetuximab in Gastric Cancer.

Gastric cancer remains a major global health concern with high incidence and mortality rates, particularly in East Asia. Patients often have poor outcomes due to limited treatment efficacy. Zolbetuximab, a monoclonal antibody targeting claudin 18.

Inferior-to-Superior Dissection for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Identification in Redo Thyroid Surgery: Enhanced Safety and Reduced Injuries.

Hoarseness due to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is the most feared complication of thyroid surgery. Scars and anatomical changes caused by previous surgeries make finding the RLN during redo thyroid surgeries difficult. We aimed to analyze the results of the inferior-to-superior dissection technique that we applied to find the RLN in redo surgeries.
