Real-time visualisation of fast nanoscale processes during liquid reagent mixing by liquid cell transmission electron microscopy.

Liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) is a powerful technique for investigating crystallisation dynamics with nanometre spatial resolution. However, probing phenomena occurring in liquids while mixing two precursor solutions has proven extremely challenging, requiring sophisticated liquid cell designs. Here, we demonstrate that introducing and withdrawing solvents in sequence makes it possible to maintain optimal imaging conditions while mixing liquids in a commercial liquid cell.

Biodiversity of the Bacterial and Fungal Microbiome and Associated Inflammatory Cytokine Profile in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Background: Dysbiosis of the bacterial and fungal microbiome has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study explores the relationship between microbiome and mycobiome biodiversity and type 2 (T2) versus non-type 2 (NT2) inflammation.

Methods: Mucosal tissues from the ethmoid sinus were collected during endoscopic sinus (CRS) and skull base (controls) surgery between January 2020 and July 2021.

Impact of Magneto-Mechanical Actuation on Cell Differentiation: A Study Using Wireless, 3D-Printed Device and a Porous Ferrogel.

Cells perceive external and internally generated forces of different kinds, significantly impacting their cellular biology. In the relatively nascent field of mechanobiology, the impact of such forces is studied and further utilized to broaden the knowledge of cellular developmental pathways, disease progression, tissue engineering, and developing novel regenerative strategies. However, extensive considerations of mechanotransduction pathways for biomedical applications are still broadly limited due to a lack of affordable technologies in terms of devices and simple magnetic actuatable materials.

Integrating C-H activation/2-fold annulation: a modular access to heteroaryl-tethered oxazoloisoquinolinones.

A cascade C-H activation/2-fold annulation of 2-aryloxazolines with pyridotriazoles has been achieved employing Rh-catalysis to afford heteroaryl-tethered oxazoloisoquinolinones. The synergistic annulations, functional group tolerance, and late-stage skeletal editing of the bioactive scaffolds are the salient practical features.

Adaptation of the disease-related apathy scale in adults with epilepsy into Turkish: A methodological study.

Objective: This study was conducted to culturally adapt the Epilepsy-Related Apathy Scale in Adults with Epilepsy (E-RAS) to Turkish and to assess its psychometric properties in adult epilepsy patients.

Methods: A total of 172 epilepsy patients receiving care at the Neurology clinic and outpatient clinic of Fırat University Hospital from February to July 2023 were included in this methodological investigation. The E-RAS was translated into Turkish, and its content and construct validity were thoroughly examined.
