BioBERTurk: Exploring Turkish Biomedical Language Model Development Strategies in Low-Resource Setting.

Pretrained language models augmented with in-domain corpora show impressive results in biomedicine and clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks in English. However, there has been minimal work in low-resource languages. Although some pioneering works have shown promising results, many scenarios still need to be explored to engineer effective pretrained language models in biomedicine for low-resource settings.

Reflections of the sensory findings in the central nervous system in patients with neuropathic pain.

This study aimed to evaluate whether there was a difference in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings in patients who were found having hyperalgesia or hypoesthesia according to Quantitative Sensory Tests (QST). Forty participants were included in the study: 20 with neuropathic pain (NP) due to cervical disc pathology (NP group) and 20 healthy volunteers. After obtaining the socio-demographic and clinical data of the participants, the painDETECT questionnaire was administered, followed by QST analysis to show the presence of hypoesthesia and/or hyperalgesia, and fMRI examinations, which included sensory stimulation of both extremities.

Diffusion tensor imaging findings in children with sluggish cognitive tempo comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

The construct of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) is characterized by daydreaming, mental confusion, staring blankly and hypoactivity. Our main goal was to explore neuropsychological differences in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-Inattentive presentation (ADHD-IA) groups with and without SCT symptoms compared to healthy controls. After detecting specific neuropsychological differences, we examined white matter microstructure using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data obtained from 3.

MRI evaluation of progressive supranuclear palsy: differentiation from Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy.

Objectives: To evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived parameters in differentiation of patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and control subjects was aimed.

Methods: Thirty-three patients [mean age, 65.21 ± 4.

MRI assessment of pituitary iron accumulation by using pituitary-R2 in β-thalassemia patients.

Background Patients with thalassemia major (TM) require repeated blood transfusions, which leads to accumulation of iron in a wide variety of tissues. Accumulation of iron in the pituitary gland can lead to irreversible hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) in this group of patients. Purpose To investigate the reliability of pituitary-R2 as a marker to estimate the extent of pituitary iron load by comparing the pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings with hepatic iron load and serum ferritin levels.
