Hydrophobization could improve the moisture resistance of biopolymer-based materials, depending on the methods and materials used, providing benefits for packaging applications. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of increasing concentrations (0-2.0%) of candelilla wax (CW) and oleic acid (OA) on the structural and physicochemical properties, including water affinity, of glycerol-plasticized pea protein isolate (PPI) films.

: This study aimed to evaluate the recurrence rates at three years for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) cases managed conservatively, using Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)-assisted flexible ureteroscopy and Holmium laser vaporization. : The study group included 61 patients who were diagnosed with NBI-assisted visualization with superficial pyelo-calyceal urothelial tumor lesions, treated conservatively by the flexible ureteroscopic approach and Holmium laser vaporization, also assisted by NBI. This was compared with a control group with the same number of cases, which underwent the same procedure, but without NBI technology.

: While the diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is based on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) criteria, the pathophysiology of POTS is not fully understood as multiple pathophysiological mechanisms have been recognized. Also, cardiac function, being dependent on preload, afterload, contractility, and HR, has not been properly studied. Preload and contractility changes can be inferred from stroke volume index (SVI) changes during a tilt test.

Background: Obesity is a global health issue influenced primarily by genetic variants and environmental factors. This study aimed to examine the relationship between genetic and lifestyle factors and their interaction with obesity risk among university students.
Methods: A total of 658 students from the same university participated in this study, including 531 females (mean age (SD): 21.

Background/objectives: Cerebrospinal infusion studies indicate that cerebrospinal fluid outflow resistance (R) is elevated in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). These studies assume that the cerebrospinal formation rate (CSF) does not vary during the infusion. If the CSF were to increase during the infusion then the R would be overestimated.
