Attitudes and Willingness of Patients Toward Organ Donation and Distrust in the Health Care System: Insights from Turkish Family Physicians.

Objectives: Organ transplant recipients express trust in their physicians with the phrase, "I entrust my life first to Allah and then to you." However, trust is not reflected in organ donor rates in Turkey despite the rising incidence of end-stage organ failures. The aim of this study was to map individuals' attitudes, willingness, and behavior toward organ donation, relationships with distrust in the health care system, religious aspects, and demographic variables.

The relationship between serum cytokine profile and vitamin D in calves with neonatal diarrhea.

It is important to know the characteristics of the immunological response in newborn calf diarrhea, which is often caused by bacterial, viral and protozoal pathogens. Cytokinesare proteins that serve as chemical messengers to regulate theinnate and adaptive arms of theimmune response. Changes in circulatory cytokine levels provide valuable information for understanding the pathophysiological process and monitoring disease progression and inflammation.

New Anthropometric Measurements: Relationship to Thyroid Functions in Euthyroid Obese Subjects.

Introduction Body mass index (BMI) is unable to make a distinction between muscle mass and fat mass. Therefore, new anthropometric measurements, such as a body shape index (ABSI), body round index (BRI), and body adiposity index (BAI), have been formulated in recent years. Many studies have reported a correlation between BMI and thyroid function.
