Article Synopsis
- The review highlights the significance of assessing body composition during pregnancy and its impact on maternal and fetal health, emphasizing the need for accurate evaluation methods.
- Anthropometric measurements, such as body weight and skinfold thickness, are reliable, cost-effective tools for assessing maternal nutritional status and predicting potential pregnancy complications.
- Various laboratory methods, including bioelectrical impedance analysis and ultrasound, complement anthropometric measurements in estimating body composition and facilitating early diagnosis of issues during pregnancy.
Tuning Surface Chemistry Impacts on Cardiac Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cell Development.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, with about 20 million deaths in 2021; cardiovascular implants are crucial but face challenges like poor endothelialisation and rapid thrombosis.
- Simple modifications using silanes can improve biological interactions on implant surfaces without compromising their overall properties.
- This study found that aminosilane modified surfaces significantly enhance cardiac endothelial cell growth while reducing smooth muscle cell activity, suggesting that tailored surface chemistry can lead to better outcomes for cardiovascular implants.
Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are the seventh most common cancer accounting for 90 % of malignant neoplasia of the upper respiratory system. KRAS is a very important oncogene, leading to the suppression of apoptosis, and promoting the pathogenesis and development of tumors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved, small noncoding RNA molecules aberrantly expressed in various pathologies including regulation of tumor and metastasis-associated genes.

However, there is no validated method that can be used to measure food literacy related to sustainable food systems of Turkish adults. This research aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the "Food Literacy (FOODLIT) Tool" for Turkish adults.

- The study aimed to examine how different vertical facial types affect the perception of lower facial asymmetry by orthodontists, dentists, and laypeople.
- Researchers altered photos of three women with distinct growth patterns (normal, vertical, and horizontal) and conducted a survey with 75 orthodontists, 73 dentists, and 78 laypeople rating facial attractiveness based on varying degrees of asymmetry.
- Results showed that both orthodontists and dentists could detect minor asymmetries better in normal growth patterns, while significant asymmetries were recognized more in horizontal growth patterns by orthodontists and laypeople.
