Response of miRNA to treatment with L. oil in multiple sclerosis.

MicroRNA‑regulated gene expression plays an important role in autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). This study investigated the expression patterns of microRNAs (miRNAs) in MS in brain tissues using an animal experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model treated with Hypericum perforatum (HP) oil. C57BL/6 J mice were divided into two groups: MS and control.

Evaluating the prognostic value of DECAF score and procalcitonin in patients with COPD exacerbation.

Objectives: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) frequently result in emergency department (ED) visits, necessitating accurate risk stratification. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the prognostic utility of the DECAF score and serum procalcitonin levels in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with AECOPD.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study encompassed AECOPD patients presenting to the ED over a three-year period who had serum procalcitonin levels measured.

How are the Attitudes Towards Aging and Aging and Death Anxiety in Individuals Over 65 Years of Age With Chronic Diseases?: A Cross-Sectional and Analytical Study.

This study examined the relationship between attitudes toward aging and death anxiety in individuals aged 65 and older with chronic diseases. The study involved 169 participants. Data were collected using Personal Information Form, Turkish Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS), and Attitudes toward Ageing and Elderliness Scale (ATAES).

Multidisciplinary Evaluation of Heart Transplantation and Ventricular Assist Device Implantation in a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Organ transplantation practices have witnessed tremendous advances all over the world and in Türkiye in recent years, and the pre-transplantation preparation, operation and postoperative follow-up procedures are being meticulously handled. However, there is very limited information about follow-up processes of pediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) undergoing organ transplantation. Furthermore, it is difficult to manage the arduous and long-term care and follow-up processes in ASD cases undergoing organ transplantation.

Potential to reduce margins and Shrink targets in patients with intact cervical cancer treated on An MRI guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) system.

Introduction: Consensus contouring guidelines for intensity-modulated-radiation-therapy (IMRT) of patients with locally advanced cervix cancer (LACC) advise including the whole uterus in the target volume and adding generous planning-target-volumes (PTVs) to account for motion uncertainties of the gross-tumor-volume (GTV). The primary objective of this analysis was to assess the interfractional GTV motions using a magnetic-resonance-image (MRI) guided-Radiation-Therapy (MRgRT) system to investigate the margins required for MRgRT treatments.

Methods: 125 daily set-up MRIs from five patients with LACC who received MRgRT were analyzed.
