Many mHelath applications have been developed, and the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) is a common tool for assessing them. This study aims to provide mean values for MARS scores found in recent literature. We systematically searched for literature in which MARS was used and analyzed them. MARS values for 5,920 applications from 215 studies were compiled. The mean MARS Quality Score is 3.51. The highest average score was achieved in the Functionality category (3.98), followed by Aesthetics (3.52), Information (3.33), Engagement (3.18) and Subjective (2.72). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to calculate average values for the five categories of the MARS and the MARS score based on such an extensive collection of data. The study shows that the overall quality of the applications is above the average value of 2.5.

Introduction: In this article, we report a unique case of head-stem dissociation in a metal-on-metal total hip replacement which utilized an Exeter stem. Although metallosis and pseudotumor formation are well recognized complications of metal-on-metal hip replacements, head-stem dissociations are rare with few being reported in literature. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first to report this occurrence in an Exeter stem.

Triticale grains and brewers' spent grain (BSG) can be new sources to develop food products. From a socio-economical point of view, this fact is important since triticale is easily adapted to the climatic changes and BSG is a low-cost material which may lead to a "zero-waste" desiderate. In this study, dough rheological properties obtained from different triticale cultivars (Ingen 33, Ingen 35, Ingen 54, and Ingen 93) cultivated in the Republic of Moldova and BSG in a fermented form (BSF) in an addition level of 10% and 17.

Plants in space face unique challenges, including chronic ionizing radiation and reduced gravity, which affect their growth and functionality. Understanding these impacts is essential to determine the cultivation conditions and protective shielding needs in future space greenhouses. While certain doses of ionizing radiation may enhance crop yield and quality, providing "functional food" rich in bioactive compounds, to support astronaut health, the combined effects of radiation and reduced gravity are still unclear, with potential additive, synergistic, or antagonistic interactions.

Objective: With an estimated global frequency ranging from5 % to 21 %, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent hormonal disorders. There are many factors found to be related to PCOS. However, most of these researches used traditional methods such as multiple logistic regression (LR).

Non-targeted chemical analysis is a powerful tool for exploration of the unknown chemistry of complex matrices such as food, biological, geochemical, environmental and even extra-terrestrial samples. It allows researchers to ask open, unbiased questions about their system chemistry. Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) offers these options and has been widely used to study complex mixtures, with its unmatched mass resolution enabling direct infusion methods and eliminating the challenges of chromatographic alignment in large-scale longitudinal projects.
