Radio-Anatomical Assessment of Cerebellum Volume in Individuals with Alzheimer's Disease.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is a chronic brain disease that includes memory and language disorders. This disease, which is considered the most common cause of dementia worldwide, accounts for 60-80% of all dementia cases. Recent studies suggest that the cerebellum may play a role in cognitive functions as well as motor functions.

Agri-Food and Food Waste Lignocellulosic Materials for Lipase Immobilization as a Sustainable Source of Enzyme Support-A Comparative Study.

Enzyme immobilization is a crucial method in biotechnology and organic chemistry that significantly improves the stability, reusability, and overall effectiveness of enzymes across various applications. Lipases are one of the most frequently applied enzymes in food. The current study investigated the potential of utilizing selected agri-food and waste materials-buckwheat husks, pea hulls, loofah sponges, and yerba mate waste-as carriers for the immobilization of Sustine 121 lipase and yeast biomass as whole-cell biocatalyst and lipase sources.

Dendritic/antigen presenting cell mediated provision of T-cell receptor gamma delta (TCRγδ) expressing cells contributes to improving antileukemic reactions ex vivo.

T-cell receptor gamma delta (TCRγδ) expressing T-cells are known to mediate an MHC-independent immune response and could therefore qualify for immune therapies. We examined the influence of dendritic cells(DC)/antigen presenting cell (APC) generated from blast-containing whole blood (WB) samples from AML and MDS patients on the provision of (leukemia-specific) TCRγδ expressing T-cells after mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC). Kit-M (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) + prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)) or Kit-I (GM-CSF + Picibanil) were used to generate leukemia derived APC/DC (DC)from WB, which were subsequently used to stimulate T-cell enriched MLC.

The Morphometric Analysis of the Ethmoid Roof for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery With Multidetector Computed Tomography.

Most potential major complications in endoscopic sinus surgery are related to the ethmoid bone. To prevent complications, it is necessary to define the concept of a "dangerous ethmoid." The coronal multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans of a total of 271 patients, including 101 patients under 18 years old and 170 patients over 18 years old, were examined.

Morphometric Analysis of Corpus Callosum in Individuals with Alzheimer's Disease: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Study.

Introduction: The Corpus Callosum (CC) is the largest commissural tract in the nervous system. Few studies have examined the extent of CC in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, and these studies have reported conflicting findings.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed using 176 brain MRI images of 88 Alzheimer's patients (55 women-32 men) and 88 healthy individuals (44 women-44 men).
