Purpose/objectives: Anatomy has always been one of the most important components of Health Science education. Worldwide, anatomy education is given in an environment based on cadaver, touch and 3D designs. However, this process has become quite difficult as the pandemic restricted use of laboratory procedures, models, and other learning materials. Therefore, education with mobile applications has become much more important. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of mobile applications used in anatomy course, which is one of the courses that form the basis of medical science, on the success levels of students, and to evaluate their perspectives on this method.
Methods: In this study, a real experimental research model with pretest-posttest control group was used in order to determine the difference that may occur between academic achievement and cognitive load when anatomy course students use traditional method or mobile application technology learning method.
Results: The findings of the study showed that the students in the experimental group, in which mobile applications were used in the anatomy course, had higher achievement levels and lower cognitive loads than the students in the control group. Another point that was determined was that the students in the experimental group were satisfied with the fact that the use of the mobile application facilitated learning, and they learned better as the ease of use in the mobile application increased.

Wearable and implantable bioelectronics that can interface for extended periods with highly mobile organs and tissues across a broad pH range would be useful for various applications in basic biomedical research and clinical medicine. The encapsulation of these systems, however, presents a major challenge, as such devices require superior barrier performance against water and ion penetration in challenging pH environments while also maintaining flexibility and stretchability to match the physical properties of the surrounding tissue. Current encapsulation materials are often limited to near-neutral pH conditions, restricting their application range.

- Brain tumors (BT), both benign and malignant, pose a substantial impact on human health and need precise and early detection for successful treatment. Analysing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image is a common method for BT diagnosis and segmentation, yet misdiagnoses yield effective medical responses, impacting patient survival rates. Recent technological advancements have popularized deep learning-based medical image analysis, leveraging transfer learning to reuse pre-trained models for various applications.

Background: A mobile cognition scale for community screening in cognitive impairment with rigorous validation is in paucity. We aimed to develop a digital scale that overcame low education for community screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD.
Methods: A mobile cognitive self-assessment scale (CogSAS) was designed through the Delphi process, which is feasible for the older population with low education.
