-related disorder in 87 adults: Natural history and self-sustainability.

Purpose: is one of the most frequently mutated genes in intellectual disability cohorts. Thus, far few adult-aged patients with -related disorder have been described, which limits our understanding of the disease's natural history and our ability to counsel patients and their families.

Methods: Data on patients aged 18+ years with -related disorder were collected through an online questionnaire completed by clinicians and parents.

Rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase activators: Synthesis, molecular docking and theoretical studies of N-substituted sulfonamide derivatives.

Pyruvate kinase (PK) activators have potential therapeutic applications in diseases such as sickle cell anemia. In this study, N-Substituted sulfonamide derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridines were synthesized and evaluated as PK activators in vitro and using molecular docking studies. The compounds were synthesized by reacting dicarbonyl compounds with ammonium acetate, 5-nitrobenzaldehyde, and alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), followed by reduction and sulfonylation.

α-glucosidase, docking and density functional theory studies on novel azide metal complexes.

The goal of this study is to synthesize new metal complexes containing -methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine and azide ligands as α-glucosidase inhibitors for Type 2 diabetes. The target complexes () were synthesized by reacting -methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (L) with sodium azide in the presence of corresponding metal salts. The investigation of target protein interactions, vibrational, electronic and nonlinear optical properties for these complexes was performed by molecular docking and density functional theory studies.

We aimed to identify the clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings of the patients with diagnosed PCH with confirmed genetic analysis. We collected available clinical data, laboratory, and imaging findings in our retrospective multicenter national study of 64 patients with PCH in Turkey.

-Related Intellectual Disability: Report of Two New Cases and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Hereditary forms of intellectual disability (ID), an estimated prevalence ranging between 1% and 3% in the general population, are among the most important problems in health care. Especially, autosomal-recessive ID has a very heterogeneous molecular basis and a lack of specific phenotypic features.

Methods: Here, we report on two unrelated patients with autosomal-recessive ID, microcephaly, and autistic features and review the patients with TRAPPC9-related ID.

Experimental and numerical investigation of the stenosed coronary artery taken from the clinical setting and modeled in terms of hemodynamics.

The study was carried out to investigate the effect of the artery with different pulse values and stenosis rates on the pressure drop, the peristaltic pump outlet pressure, fractional flow reserve (FFR) and most importantly the amount of power consumed by the peristaltic pump. For this purpose, images taken from the clinical environment were produced as models (10 mm inlet diameter) with 0% and 70% percent areal stenosis rates (PSR) on a three-dimensional (3D) printer. In the experimental system, pure water was used as the fluid at 54, 84, 114, 132, and 168 bpm pulse values.

Bi-allelic truncating variants in CASP2 underlie a neurodevelopmental disorder with lissencephaly.

Lissencephaly (LIS) is a malformation of cortical development due to deficient neuronal migration and abnormal formation of cerebral convolutions or gyri. Thirty-one LIS-associated genes have been previously described. Recently, biallelic pathogenic variants in CRADD and PIDD1, have associated with LIS impacting the previously established role of the PIDDosome in activating caspase-2.

Synthesis of flurbiprofen thiadiazole urea derivatives and assessment of biological activities and molecular docking studies.

Totally 15 novel flurbiprofen urea derivatives were synthesized bearing the thiadiazole ring. Their inhibition effects on tyrosinase were determined. 3c was found to be the strongest inhibitor with the IC value of 68.

Examining the effect of mortality salience on preference for anthropomorphic products.

Research has shown that anthropomorphic products can compensate for the lack of belongingness and control. These findings suggest that anthropomorphic products may also protect against mortality salience, which has been shown in numerous research studies to be closely related to both belongingness and control motives. In two high-powered experiments, the present research aimed to investigate the effect of mortality salience on preference for anthropomorphic products and test the moderating role of three relevant factors, namely, belongingness, self-esteem, and attachment style.

COVID-19 in pediatric nephrology centers in Turkey.

Background/aim: There is limited data on COVID-19 disease in children with kidney disease. We aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of COVID-19 in pediatric nephrology patients in Turkey.

Materials And Methods: This was a national, multicenter, retrospective cohort study based on an online survey evaluating the data between 11 March 2020 and 11 March 2021 as an initial step of a detailed pediatric nephrology COVID-19 registry.

Tail-Approach-Based Design and Synthesis of Coumarin-Monoterpenes as Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors and Anticancer Agents.

In this study, sixty novel coumarin-monoterpene compounds were synthesized in two series [thirty-two compounds () bearing a triazole ring in the first series, and twenty-eight compounds () bearing an alkyl chain in the second one]. Their inhibitory effects on the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, and XII and anticancer potentials were determined. All synthesized molecules selectively inhibited CA IX and XII.

Magnesium- a Forgotten Element: Phenotypic Variation and Genome Wide Association Study in Turkish Common Bean Germplasm.

Magnesium (Mg) is the fourth most abundant element in the human body and plays the role of cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions. In plants, Mg is involved in various key physiological and biochemical processes like growth, development, photophosphorylation, chlorophyll formation, protein synthesis, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Keeping in view the importance of this element, the present investigation aimed to explore the Mg contents diversity in the seeds of Turkish common bean germplasm and to identify the genomic regions associated with this element.
