Article Synopsis
- Slow-release GnRH agonist implants are used in male dogs for contraception, and their effects are reversible, although safety concerns exist.
- A study was conducted to investigate the impact of these implants on testicular stress and androgen receptor signaling in dogs after the implants were removed, comparing them to untreated controls.
- Results showed both upregulation and downregulation of various proteins related to stress response and androgen receptors, indicating that GnRH implants do not increase cellular stress compared to natural breeding cycles, but more research is needed on hypoxic conditions.
Feline hemotropic mycoplasmosis is an emerging infectious disease in domestic cats caused by a group of hemotropic species, including three main species: (), Mycoplasma hemominutum (Mhm), and Mycoplasma turicensis (Mt). The primary objective of this investigation was to ascertain the molecular prevalence and characterization of hemotropic mycoplasmas in domestic cats from twenty-three districts of Konya province in Türkiye. For this purpose, 384 apparently healthy cats belonging to different breeds were enrolled in this study.

We aimed to investigate the predictive role of IPI for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) development in non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients using a nomogram and performing machine learning (ML) algorithms. A total of 178 patients with CIN (+) and 1511 with CIN (-) were included.

This study aimed to evaluate the presence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children with DMD and investigate the relationships between sleep and respiratory function using spirometry, sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP), and polysomnography (PSG) along with capnography.
Research Question: Can low SNIP be a guide for detecting respiratory muscle involvement early and determining the right time to perform early PSG and capnography in DMD?
Study Design: Prospective, observational, cross-sectional study.
Objective: Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a rare condition in children; however, it can cause significant morbidity if not diagnosed early. We aimed to increase the knowledge about CSA in children by describing the clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with CSA at our sleep center.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1263 polysomnographies (PSG) performed between 2012 and 2023 at our tertiary sleep center and evaluated the clinical characteristics of the patients with CSA.
