This study reports the validation of the Drug Use Screening Inventory (DUSI) in a sample of Turkish youth. Clinical cases (N=90) were recruited from the inpatient and outpatient addictions treatment facility at Bakirkoy State Hospital for Psychiatric and Neurological Diseases in Istanbul, Turkey. Nonclinical cases (N=68) were recruited from the community by direct invitation from the researchers and advertisement. Reliability, discriminative, and construct validity of the Turkish version of the DUSI were documented. A cut-off score of 35% severity on the overall problem density score correctly classified 83% of subjects with sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 87%. Furthermore, the DUSI overall problem density score predicted prior 30 days level of substance use involvement. Finally, a history of family substance use disorder predicted the overall problem density score in their children. These findings indicate that the Turkish version of the DUSI is an efficient method for multidimensional screening of youth who need treatment for substance abuse.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected more than two million people of the world, and far social distancing and segregated lifestyle have to be adopted as a common solution in recent years. To solve the problem of sanitation control and epidemic prevention in public places, in this paper, an intelligent disinfection control system based on the STM32 single-chip microprocessor was designed to realize intelligent closed-loop disinfection in local public places such as public toilets. The proposed system comprises seven modules: image acquisition, spraying control, disinfectant liquid level control, access control, voice broadcast, system display, and data storage.

With the rapid development of the cell and gene therapy industry, there is an increasing demand for lentiviral vectors that can efficiently infect cells of different purposes. BaEV lentiviruses have been shown to efficiently infect hematopoietic stem cells, primary B cells, and NK cells, which traditional VSV-G lentiviruses cannot infect. However, there is a problem of low virus yield in the production of BaEV lentivirus.

Thrombosis, when occurring undesirably, disrupts normal blood flow and poses significant medical challenges. As the skeleton of blood clots, fibrin fibers play a vital role in the formation and fragmentation of blood clots. Thus, studying the deformation and fracture characteristics of fibrin fiber networks is the key factor to solve a series of health problems caused by thrombosis.

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous and are increasing globally, but there is limited information available on their presence in freshwater ecosystems. This research work aims to investigate the abundance, sinking behavior, and risk assessment of MPs in the freshwater River Basantar, Jammu & Kashmir, India. Microplastic abundance in sediments was recorded in the range of 1-6 items g, with a mean abundance of 3 ± 1.
