Intestinal mucositis poses a significant concern associated with cancer therapy. This study aims to investigate the protective and/or healing effect of fig seed oil (FSO) on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis by targeting inflammatory markers and histologic changes in rats. Albino Wistar adult rats were randomly divided into four groups, including three male and three female animals.

Subsequently, genome sequencing has become an indispensable tool for characterizing the ongoing pandemic, particularly for typing SARS-CoV-2 samples obtained from patients or environmental surveillance. For such SARS-CoV-2 typing, various in vitro and in silico workflows exist, yet to date, no systematic cross-platform validation has been reported.

- Imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease can provide insights into brain health, but their manual assessment is slow and has high variability among different evaluators.
- The VALDO challenge, held alongside the MICCAI 2021 conference, aimed to develop automated methods for detecting specific brain imaging markers, including enlarged perivascular spaces, cerebral microbleeds, and lacunes, using imperfect data.
- The results highlighted significant performance differences among 12 participating teams, showing promise for detecting enlarged perivascular spaces and microbleeds, but indicating that solutions for lacunes remain less effective for individual use despite potential benefits for population studies.

Cancer is a significant health problem in Turkey with pediatric cancer being the fourth leading cause of death among children. Pediatric oncology has been acknowledged as a pediatric subspecialty since 1983, and 3,000 new cases of childhood cancer are expected every year. We describe our country's geography, the number and distribution of pediatric oncology centers, the profile of clinical and academic nurses, and our clinical practice.

Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 62 children aged 9 to 18 years old with a solid tumor who received chemotherapy for the first time, and their parents. Data were collected using a data collection form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Baxter Retching Faces Scale.
