Exploring the chemical composition of granola formulated with different sweeteners and produced via oven and microwave baking.

The objective of this study was to create and characterize an innovative granola, a popular choice in quick breakfasts. The granola samples were sweetened with agave syrup (A), honey (H), and stevia (S) and produced using conventional oven (1) and microwave (2) baking techniques at temperatures of 160°C and 300 W, respectively. Among the samples, H1 exhibited the highest total sugar content (26.

As next-generation probiotics: acetic acid bacteria isolated from Kombucha beverages produced with Anatolian hawthorn leaves.

This research examined acetic acid bacteria (AAB) isolated from Kombucha beverages produced with Anatolian hawthorn (Crataegus orientalis) as next-generation probiotics. Eighty-six AAB were isolated from the samples and investigated in terms of biosafety, viability in vitro gastrointestinal conditions, technological and bioactive properties, and also in vitro adhesion abilities. Seventy-six isolates demonstrating γ-hemolysis exhibited resistance to erythromycin and ampicillin.

Basic electronic health record (EHR) adoption in Türkiye is nearly complete but challenges persist.

Background: The digitalization studies in public hospitals in Türkiye started with the Health Transformation Program in 2003. As digitalization was accomplished, the policymakers needed to measure hospitals' electronic health record (EHR) usage and adoptions. The ministry of health has been measuring the dissemination of meaningful usage and adoption of EHR since 2013 using Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM).

The effect of digitalization of nursing forms in ICUs on time and cost.

Objective: Intensive Care Units are one of the areas with the lowest digitization rate. This study aims to measure the effect of digitizing medical records kept in paper forms in ICUs on time-saving and paper consumption. In our study, care forms in ICUs were transferred to digital media.

Quantitative evaluation of brain volumes in drug-free major depressive disorder using MRI-Cloud method.

Background: Quantitative analysis of the high-resolution T1-weighted images provides useful markers to measure anatomical changes during brain degeneration related to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, there are controversial findings regarding these volume alterations in MDD indicating even to increased volumes in some specific regions in MDD patients.

Methods: This study is a case-controlled study including 23 depression patients and 15 healthy subject person and 20-38 years of age, who have been treated at the Neurology and Psychiatry Department here.

Accelerated forgetting and verbal memory consolidation process in idiopathic nondement Parkinson's disease.

Objective: Episodic memory impairment and underlying pathophysiology in Parkinson's Disease (PD) is poorly investigated. Formerly, it was thought to be a secondary effect of impairment in fronto-striatal circuit. However, recent studies hypothesized that there is a dual progression of PD and memory loss is possibly related to posterior cortex rather than frontal.
