Investigation of the relationship between screen usage habits, behavioral problems and self-regulation skills of children aged 4-6.

Purpose: Amidst the multifaceted changes taking place in our dynamic world, the study of screen usage habits and their impacts on children has emerged as a burgeoning area of research interest. The current research endeavors to investigate and establish the correlation that exists between screen usage patterns, behavioral challenges, and self-regulation capabilities within the demographic of children aged 4-6 years.

Design And Methods: In the study, descriptive cross-sectional and relationship-seeking research model.

Ethical sensitivity and compassion competence in nursing students: Two-center study/comparison of two different cultures.

Background: Although the literature includes studies on nursing students' ethical sensitivity and compassion competence, no study has examined and compared these skills among nursing students from different cultures.

Aim: This research determined and compared the ethical sensitivity and compassion competency levels of nursing students in two different geographies, one in Turkey (Group I) and one in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Group II), which hosts students with different cultural characteristics.

Design: Quantitative and cross-sectional research.

Comprehensive evaluation of patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1: A nationwide study.

Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is characterized by increased endogenous oxalate production and deposition as calcium oxalate crystals. The main manifestations are nephrocalcinosis/nephrolithiasis, causing impaired kidney function. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and overall outcomes of paediatric PH1 patients in Turkey.

Rep and V2 Suppress Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing via Distinct Modes of Action.

(BCTIV) is a yield-limiting geminivirus belonging to the genus. The genome organization of BCTIV is unique such that the complementary strand of BCTIV resembles , whereas the virion strand organization is similar to the genus. Geminiviruses are known to avoid the plant defense system by suppressing the RNA interference mechanisms both at the transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) and post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) levels.

The Mediating Role of Early Maladaptive Schemas in the Relationship between Temperament and Depressive Symptoms.

Objectives: Personality traits and early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) play an active role in the emergence, maintenance, and treatment of depressive mood. Studies draw attention to the close relationship between temperament and character traits, EMSs, and depression. The first aim of this study is to examine the relationships between temperament, character traits, and EMSs.

The effect of education on self-care agency and rational drug use of patients with COPD.

Objective: This study examined the effects of education given to patients diagnosed with the COPD on self-care agency and rational drug use.

Methods: This study has a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. Participants were divided into two groups, those who received training with the COPD Guide booklet (n = 40) and routine clinical care (n = 43).

A multicenter retrospective study of calcineurin inhibitors in nephrotic syndrome secondary to podocyte gene variants.

While 44-83% of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) without a proven genetic cause respond to treatment with a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), current guidelines recommend against the use of immunosuppression in monogenic SRNS. This is despite existing evidence suggesting that remission with CNI treatment is possible and can improve prognosis in some cases of monogenic SRNS. Herein, our retrospective study assessed response frequency, predictors of response and kidney function outcomes among children with monogenic SRNS treated with a CNI for at least three months.

Humoral and cellular immune response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in pediatric kidney transplant recipients compared with dialysis patients and healthy children.

Background: Compared with the general population, the immune response to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is lower in adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). However, data is limited for pediatric KTRs. In this study, we aimed to assess humoral and cellular immune responses to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in pediatric KTRs.

Effects of a flash-free system on dental plaque accumulation and bonding-debonding process: A clinical study.

Introduction: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of a flash-free (FF) System on (1) the amount of plaque accumulation around the braces on buccal surfaces of the teeth, (2) the time required for the placement of brackets, including the clean-up of the flash, (3) the amount of adhesive left on the tooth after debonding, and (4) time required for adhesive remnant clean-up.

Methods: Thirty-six patients (aged 19.96 ± 5.

Melatonin in preservation solutions prevents ischemic injury in rat kidneys.

Transplantation is lifesaving and the most effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. The transplantation success depends on the functional preservation of organs prior to transplantation. Currently, the University of Wisconsin (UW) and histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) are the most commonly used preservation solutions.
