This paper introduces a novel two-parameter G-family of distributions derived through a mixing approach, where a mixture of the exponentiated G-family with parameter follows gamma distribution. Within this new family, we focus on the mixture of gamma-exponentiated exponential distribution (MGExED) as a key sub-model. The study thoroughly investigates by determining some of the MGExED statistical properties, such as quantile function, moments, and order statistics. The MGExED's parameters are estimated using different estimation methods. Due to the complexity of obtaining explicit forms for MGExED's estimators, the accuracy of these estimates is assessed through Monte Carlo simulations. To illustrate the practical utility of the MGExED, we apply it to two distinct real datasets, demonstrating its superior flexibility and fit compared to several established distributions in the literature. This comprehensive evaluation underscores the MGExED's potential for broader statistical modeling and analysis application.

Objective: Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) have been used for treating acute hyperkalaemia. The pharmacodynamic properties of SZC suggest greater theoretical utility in the acute setting than SPS, but there is no clear guidance on an optimal potassium binder. This study evaluated the efficacy of SZC and SPS in the treatment of acute hyperkalaemia.

The ability to track moisture content using soil moisture sensors in green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) systems allows us to understand the system's water management capacity and recovery. Soil moisture sensors have been used to quantify infiltration and evapotranspiration in GSI practices both preceding, during, and following storm events. Although useful, soil-specific calibration is often needed for soil moisture sensors, as small measurement variations can result in misinterpretation of the water budget and associated GSI performance.

Background: Considering the increasing consumption of soft drinks and their adverse health effects, identifying addiction to these drinks in the population is significant. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Soft Drink Addiction Scale.
Methods: For this purpose, we included 669 participants and distributed them homogeneously for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.

: We assessed the influence of long-term injection of magnoflorine (MAG) on memory acquisition in mice for the first time. : This isoquinoline alkaloid that belongs to the aporphines was isolated from the roots of by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) using a biphasic solvent system composed of chloroform: methanol: water in the ratio 4:3:3 (//) with 20 mM of hydrochloric acid and triethylamine, within 64 min. : Our results indicated that long-term injection of MAG 20 mg/kg dose improve the long-term memory acquisition in mice that were evaluated in the passive avoidance (PA) test with no toxicity records.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevention is a critical challenge for aging societies, necessitating the exploration of food ingredients and whole foods as potential therapeutic agents. This study aimed to identify natural compounds (NCs) with therapeutic potential in AD using an innovative bioinformatics-integrated deep neural analysis approach, combining computational predictions with molecular docking and in vitro experiments for comprehensive evaluation. We employed the bioinformatics-integrated deep neural analysis of NCs for Disease Discovery (BioDeepNat) application in the data collected from chemical databases.
