This study aimed to investigate the significant expression of Peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PIN1) as a key regulator of COVID-19 cycle. A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) measured the expression levels of PIN1 in the serum of mild and severe patients and evaluated its association with clinical parameters. ROC curve analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of PIN1 for the diagnosis of COVID-19 between mild and severe patients. Expression of the PIN1 gene in severe patients (0.89±0.43) was higher than in mild patients (-2.28±0.34), and this difference was statistically significant between the two groups regardless of other factors (P‑value<0.0001). ROC curve analysis showed that high PIN1 levels in the discrimination of severe from mild patients could be useful. PIN1 expression levels were significantly associated with shortness of breath and cough. PIN1 can be considered an effective factor in the intensification of the symptoms of COVID-19.

Liquid biopsy in organ damage: introduction of an innovative tool for assessing the complexity of blunt splenic injury.

Liquid biomarkers are essential in trauma cases and critical care and offer valuable insights into the extent of injury, prognostic predictions, and treatment guidance. They can help assess the severity of organ damage (OD), assist in treatment decisions and forecast patient outcomes. Notably, small extracellular vesicles, particularly those involved in splenic trauma, have been overlooked.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is the most common neurological adverse event among elderly patients undergoing surgery. POD is associated with an increased risk for postoperative complications, long-term cognitive decline, an increase in morbidity and mortality as well as extended hospital stays. Delirium prevention and treatment options are currently limited.

Background: PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP mutations cause Alzheimer's disease (AD) with an early age at onset (AAO) and progressive cognitive decline. PSEN1 mutations are more common and generally have an earlier AAO; however, certain PSEN1 mutations cause a later AAO, similar to those observed in PSEN2 and APP.
Methods: We examined whether common disease endotypes exist across these mutations with a later AAO (~ 55 years) using hiPSC-derived neurons from familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) patients harboring mutations in PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP and mechanistically characterized by integrating RNA-seq and ATAC-seq.
Knowledge, awareness and attitudes among a group of Turkish dental students regarding molar incisor hypomineralization: a cross-sectional study.

Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Pamukkale University, Üniversite Street No:11, Pamukkale, Denizli, 20160, Turkey.
Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is estimated to affect more than 800 million people worldwide. The clinical management of MIH can be challenging. For dentists, to provide effective and high-quality dental care to people affected by MIH, it is essential that they improve their awareness, ability to describe the clinical situation, and knowledge of treatment modalities.

Introduction: Hypertension is among the most significant non-communicable public health issues worldwide. High blood pressure, or hypertension, has been associated with severe health consequences, including death, aneurysms, stroke, chronic renal disease, eye damage, heart attack, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and vascular dementia. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the predictors linked to survival time and the progression of blood pressure measurements in hypertensive patients.
