Objective: To determine and compare diagnostic accuracy parameters of saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUSG), and hysteroscopy (H/S) based on histopathologic results which are accepted to be the gold standard in patients with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB).
Materials And Methods: Forty-seven patients who applied to Gynecology clinic of Adnan Menderes University, School of Medicine with PMB complaint aged between 43-76 years were included to the study. Fractioned curettage (F/C) and H/S guided biopsy were used for endometrial sampling. Diagnostic accuracy parameters (sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values) of different methods; TVUSG, SIS, and H/S based on histopathologic findings were investigated.
Results: Specificity and sensitivity values calculated based on histopathologic results for all endometrial cavity lesions were found, respectively: 44.4% and 25% for TVUSG, 88.8% and 60.7% for SIS, and 100% and 77.7% for HIS.
Conclusion: SIS is superior to TVUSG and as effective as H/S for assessment of endometrial cavity lesions in patients with PMB.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are biomacromolecules known as cancer and inflammatory markers. Thus, they play a crucial role in early cancer diagnosis, post-treatment recurrence detection, and tumor risk assessment. This paper describes the development of an ultrasensitive and selective imprinted paper-based analytical device (PAD) as impedance sensor for determination of CEA and CRP in serum samples for point-of-care testing (POCT).

Cardiomyocytes can be implanted to remuscularize the failing heart. Challenges include sufficient cardiomyocyte retention for a sustainable therapeutic impact without intolerable side effects, such as arrhythmia and tumour growth. We investigated the hypothesis that epicardial engineered heart muscle (EHM) allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and stromal cells structurally and functionally remuscularize the chronically failing heart without limiting side effects in rhesus macaques.

The diagnostic landscape of brain tumors integrates comprehensive molecular markers alongside traditional histopathological evaluation. DNA methylation and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have become a cornerstone in central nervous system (CNS) tumor classification. A limiting requirement for NGS and methylation profiling is sufficient DNA quality and quantity, which restrict its feasibility.

Alkaline stress impairs fish productivity and performance and, therefore, is considered one of the major challenges facing aquaculture. In this work, the effects of supplementing diets with camel whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) on growth, digestion, antioxidant capacity, and gene expression were investigated in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under alkaline stress. A total of 160 fish (16.
