Environmental problems have increased the need for sustainable agricultural practices that conserve water and energy. Carob, an eco-friendly crop with multiple health benefits, holds the potential for economic evaluation. This study investigates the carob molasses extraction process, focusing on the influence of temperature and water quantity on the diffusion coefficient.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the reverse first dorsal metatarsal artery (FDMA) flap in the reconstruction of distal foot injuries caused by electric currents.
Objectives: Several ultrasound (US) -based risk stratification systems (RSS) for managing thyroid nodules have been developed and introduced into clinical practice. However, there are essential differences among these systems. This study aimed to determine and compare the category-based diagnostic performance of four US-based risk stratification systems in the detection of thyroid cancer: ACR-TIRADS, ATA, K-TIRADS, and EU-TIRADS.

Aim: To assess the performance metrics of perfusion and permeability magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters with optimal cut-offs in differentiating isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genotype and tumor grade in patients with grade 2-4 gliomas.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 36 patients surgically diagnosed with grade 2-4 glioma (six grade 2, seven grade 3, and 23 grade 4) with known IDH genotypes (23 IDH wild-type, 13 IDH mutant) between November 2021 and August 2023. All patients underwent preoperative perfusion and permeability MRI examinations with a 3.
