Molecular Detection of and at Different Stages of Wine Production.

and belong to acetic acid bacteria (AAB), associated with wine spoilage. The timely detection of AAB, thought essential for their control, is however challenging due to the difficulties of their isolation. Thus, it would be advantageous to detect them using molecular methods at all stages of winemaking and storage.

Background: Darier disease is a genodermatosis which manifests as hyperkeratotic papules and superficial erosions mainly in seborrheic skin areas. This retrospective registry-based cohort study aimed to estimate the association between Darier disease and skin cancer.

Results: Patients diagnosed with Darier disease were identified from the patient registry of Sahlgrenska University Hospital (Gothenburg, Sweden) in 2016-2020.

Quality of Life and Related Factors in Patients Diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis and Their Caregivers.

Objectives: Quality of life (QoL) is directly associated with physical-psychological well-being, family and environmental factors in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). The present study aims to investigate the factors affecting QoL in both MPS patients and their caregivers.

Methods: The sociodemographic characteristics, clinical findings, and special needs of 37 patients with MPS were questioned, among which 28 pediatric patients were evaluated for QoL using the KINDL-parents scale.

Investigation of growth curves with different nonlinear models and MARS algorithm in broiler chickens.

This study was conducted to determine the live weight model of the broiler chicks by using the most appropriate mathematical growth curves. Live weights were used in broiler chicks grown for 0-6 weeks. Logistics, Gompertz, Weibull, Hossfeld and Von Bertalanffy models and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) data mining algorithm were used to define the live weights of the chickens.

Revolutionizing IBD research with on-chip models of disease modeling and drug screening.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises chronic inflammatory conditions with complex mechanisms and diverse manifestations, posing significant clinical challenges. Traditional animal models and ethical concerns in human studies necessitate innovative approaches. This review provides an overview of human intestinal architecture in health and inflammation, emphasizing the role of microfluidics and on-chip technologies in IBD research.

A saturation based self-tuned robust control design for Euler Lagrange systems.

Control of the family of systems that can be represented in the Euler Lagrange (EL) form is both challenging from a theoretical perspective and applicable to a broad spectrum of real systems. For this type of control problem, given that any parameter estimation error and disturbances are not directly addressed, the system performance deteriorates, and stability cannot be deduced in advance. Considering these issues, this work presents the design and the corresponding analysis of a saturation function based, model-free, continuous robust controller for mechanical systems represented in the EL form.

Impact of the CPS-EG score as a new prognostic biomarker in triple-negative breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Background: This study aimed to establish risk groups on the basis of CPS-EG scores, independent of pCR status, in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) to identify the prognostic impact of the CPS-EG score.

Methods: Patient characteristics included age, menopausal status, clinical stage, pathological stage, estrogen receptor (ER) expression, nuclear grade, Ki-67 proliferation index, residual cancer burden (RCB) score, HER2 status, and other tumor characteristics. The CPS-EG scoring system included clinical stage, pathological stage, ER status, and grade.

Superficial Siderosis: A Case Report of Underdiagnosed Disorder.

Superficial siderosis (SS) is caused by subpial hemosiderin deposition due to chronic low-grade bleeding into the subarachnoid space. Dural tears are the most common etiology. Slowly progressive gait ataxia and hearing impairment are common clinical manifestations.

Microscopy and molecular survey of Hepatozoon spp. in domestic cats and their ticks: First report of H. silvestris from Türkiye.

Hepatozoonosis is a tick-borne infection caused by protozoan species of the Hepatozoon genus in the family Hepatozoidae. This study aimed to determine the presence and prevalence of Hepatozoon spp. in domestic cats and their ticks, to characterize the genotypes, to reveal phylogenetic relationships, and to assess the risk factors associated with infection.

Determination of the diagnostic accuracy of peritoneal biopsy with an 18G cutting needle under ultrasonography guidance and the contribution of CT findings to diagnosis before biopsy (our 8-year clinical experience).

Aim: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy is an important technique in diagnosing mesenteric involvement. Diagnostic results were compared with pre-biopsy CT findings. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic efficiency of omental lesion biopsies performed under ultrasound guidance and to investigate the relationship between pre-biopsy diagnostic CT findings.

Is COVID-19 loss more associated with prolonged grief disorder than other losses?

The COVID-19 pandemic raised fears about a rise in prolonged grief rates. To determine if these fears are justified, we examined an online sample of 329 Turkish adults for their level of prolonged grief symptoms (as well as probable Prolonged Grief Disorder-PGD) and associated factors in relation to losses during the pandemic. Respondents completed measures of prolonged grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression.

The effect of novel biotechnological vermicompost on tea yield, plant nutrient content, antioxidants, amino acids, and organic acids as an alternative to chemical fertilizers for sustainability.

In this study, the performance of a novel organic tea compost developed for the first time in the world from raw tea waste from tea processing factories and enriched with worms, beneficial microorganisms, and enzymes was tested in comparison to chemical fertilizers in tea plantations in Rize and Artvin provinces, where the most intensive tea cultivation is carried out in Turkey. In the field trials, the developed organic tea vermicompost was incorporated into the root zones of the plants in the tea plantations in amounts of 1000 (OVT1), 2000 (OVT2) and 4000 (OVT4) (kg ha). The experimental design included a control group without OVT applications and positive controls with chemical fertilizers (N: P: K 25:5:10, (CF) 1200 kg ha) commonly used by local growers.

Prognostic value of hyperlactatemia and lactate clearance in septic patients with hematological malignancies.

Background: The coexistence of sepsis and hematological malignancies increases patient vulnerability, revealing the need for precise prognostic markers. This study explores the prognostic significance of lactate levels and clearance in septic patients with hematological malignancies.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study from January 2016 to December 2019 in a tertiary hematological intensive care unit (ICU) included 167 adults with hematological malignancies and sepsis.

Machine Learning-Based Classification of Soil Parent Materials Using Elemental Concentration and Vis-NIR Data.
