Evaluating Factors Related to Health Anxiety in COVID-19 Patients.

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak affects both the physical and mental health of individuals and society. This study investigates the factors related to health anxiety in COVID-19 patients and explores their sociodemographic-, disease-, and treatment-related factors, trait anxiety, and characteristics of secure or insecure attachment.

Methods: The sample consisted of 420 individuals aged 18-65 years and diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 15 and May 15, 2020.

Computational Analysis of Drug Resistance Network in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Background: Lung cancer is a significant health problem and accounts for one-third of the deaths worldwide. A great majority of these deaths are caused by Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Chemotherapy is the leading treatment method for NSCLC, but resistance to chemotherapeutics is an important limiting factor that reduces the treatment success of patients with NSCLC.

Are Nurses Homophobic? A Survey Study in Public Hospitals in Turkey.

Purpose: Studies conducted with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people in Turkey have found that such people experience social isolation, neglect, insufficient healthcare services, and disrespect. However, no study has been reported related to clinicians' approaches and attitudes towards them. This study aimed to determine the attitudes of nurses towards homosexual individuals and the factors associated with the homophobia levels of nurses.

Investigation of the toxic effects of different polystyrene micro-and nanoplastics on microalgae Chlorella vulgaris by analysis of cell viability, pigment content, oxidative stress and ultrastructural changes.

Plastics of different sizes (micro- and nano-sized) are often identified in aquatic environments. Nevertheless, their influence on marine organisms has not been widely investigated. In this study, the responses of the microalga Chlorella vulgaris to micro- and nanoplastics exposure were examined using long term toxicity test.

Tumor suppressor and oncogenic role of long non-coding RNAs in cancer.

Non-coding RNAs are RNA molecules that are not translated into the protein, making up the vast majority of the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are in the RNA group that has longer than 200 nucleotides, and non-protein coding transcripts. In recent years, the potential has attracted considerable attention as new important biological regulators.

Perturbation of HSP Network in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line Triggers Inducible HSP70 Expression and Leads to Tumor Suppression.

Background: Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is constitutively expressed in normal cells but aberrantly expressed in several types of tumor cells, helping their survival in extreme conditions. Thus, specific inhibition of HSP70 in tumor cells is a promising strategy in the treatment of cancer. HSP70 has a variety of isoforms in the cellular organelles and form different functions by coordinating and cooperating with cochaperones.
