Correction of Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 causing mutations in the gene with CRISPR/Cas9.

Background/aim: Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 (GS-2) is a rare, inherited immune deficiency caused by a mutation in the gene. The current treatment consists of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but a lack of suitable donors warrants the development of alternative treatment strategies, including gene therapy. The development of mutation-specific clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 gene editing technology has opened the way for custom-designed gene correction of patient-derived stem cells.

Atypical articulation of the cervical rib and first rib.

The cervical rib is an additional rib arising from the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra. This rib may terminate free in soft tissue or may be attached to the first rib. The cervical rib is a congenital anomaly that occurs in less than 1% of the general population and sometimes causes severe symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome.

Is microfracture sufficient for high-tibial osteotomy, or should intra-articular hyaluronic acid and oral glucosamine-chondroitin be used as additional treatments?

Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of microfracture (MF) versus intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) + oral glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate (GC) in addition to MF in patients with osteoarthritic knees who underwent medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) after an average follow-up of five years.

Selective and sensitive molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensor for detection of deltamethrin.

Electrochemical sensors have a broad range of industrial applications due to their sensitivity, speed, and cost-effectiveness. These sensors enable the continuous monitoring and control of critical parameters in various industrial processes. For instance, they are essential in food safety, environmental monitoring, biomedical applications, and pharmaceutical production.

Validation of stone-kidney size score to predict outcome and complications of pediatric percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Introduction: The prevelance of urinary system stone disease in children is emphasizing the need for minimally invasive treatments to decrease morbidity and recurrence risk. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has emerged as a preferred approach for pediatric patients with complex stones due to its minimally invasive nature, including miniaturized and vacuum-assisted access sheaths, advanced laser technology and tubeless and outpatient procedures. However, adult scoring systems have proven ineffective in predicting success and complications in pediatric PCNL.

Patient education in the digital age: An analysis of quality and readability of online information on rhinoplasty.

This study aimed to investigate quality and readability of online rhinoplasty information provided on Turkish websites. We searched for the terms "rhinoplasty" (rinoplasti) and "nose job" (burun estetiği) in Turkish using the Google search engine in May 2023. The first 30 sites for each term were included in the evaluation.

Semi-quantitative analysis on sea buckthorn phenolic-rich extract coating bone-like open porous NiTi-based alloy.

This study investigates the feasibility of coating Ni-Ti alloy with sea buckthorn extract via a hydrothermal method for targeted delivery of beneficial phenolic compounds to bone tissue. The qualitative analysis confirmed the presence of flavonoids and tannins in sea buckthorn extract, supporting its osteogenic potential. The microhardness of the NiTi alloy substrate was suitable for biomedical applications, and successful coating was achieved without compromising its properties.

Comparative analysis of scoring systems for patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery with isolated lower calyx stones.

Protective effects of arbutin against doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage.

Background: Doxorubicin is an effective antineoplastic agent but has limited clinical application because of its cumulative toxicities, including cardiotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity causes lipid peroxidation, genetic impairment, oxidative stress, inhibition of autophagy, and disruption of calcium homeostasis. Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is frequently tried to be mitigated by phytochemicals, which are derived from plants and possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties.
