An environmental approach to cement admixtures: Utilization of waste olive seed powder as a bio-polymeric admixture.

The integration of organic wastes into cement-based materials shows promise as a solution to mitigate environmental pollutants. It achieves this by minimizing waste sent to landfills and in some conditions decreasing Portland cement use. One of these organic wastes that produces positive effects when used in cement products is olive seed.

More neck pain, less spinal mobility, altered sitting posture: Sagittal spinal alignment and mobility in women with chronic neck pain.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that people with chronic neck pain (CNP) may display altered biomechanics beyond the cervical spine. However, whether spinal alignment and mobility are associated with neck pain is not clarified.

Objectives: To investigate whether there is a significant association between neck pain intensity and sagittal spinal alignment and mobility in people with CNP, and to examine whether sagittal spinal alignment and mobility differ according to pain intensity.

Domestic difficulties faced by women with a severe mental disorder: A qualitative study.

When the family is considered as a system, individuals with a severe mental disorder can be affected by all the processes and conditions in the family. Women with a severe mental disorder are also affected by many factors such as their place in the family and society, gender roles and gender inequality. In the study, the authors aimed to determine domestic difficulties faced by women diagnosed with a severe mental disorder who were followed in a Community Mental Health Center in a province in the west of Türkiye.

The association between aerobic capacity and spinal curvature and mobility in young soccer players.

Background: There is a lot of research in terms of injuries and performance in football and nowadays aerobic capacity, spinal posture and mobility have been taken into consideration separately in terms of performance. Considering from a biomechanical perspective, we thought spinal curvature and mobility may affect aerobic performance and investigated the relationship between them.

Research Question: Do young soccer players' segmental spinal curvature and mobility affect their aerobic capacity and maximal exercise performance?

Methods: Thirty-four young league players (mean age 16.

Development of pseudotyped VSV-SARS-CoV-2 spike variants for the assessment of neutralizing antibodies.

Serological studies with pseudotyped viruses offer a safer alternative to live SARS-CoV-2 in evaluating neutralizing antibodies, enabling research in standard labs. The SARS-CoV-2 Spike pseudotyped vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudoviruses were generated using Spike of Wuhan strain and two variants (B.1.

Mitochondrial toxicity of selected natural compounds: assessment and molecular docking and dynamics simulation.

Boiss & Hausskn stands out for its rich bioactive constituents including prantschimgin (PRA), imperatorin (IMP), suberosin (SUB), adicardin (ADI), and oxypeucedanin hydrate (OPH) in the Apiaceae family. Although these molecules contribute to several biological activities, their mitochondrial toxicity were not illuminated in depth with the appropriate and models. Cell viability studies investigated the cytotoxic activities of molecules in HepG2 cells by replacing glucose with galactose due to Warburg effects.

Is It Possible to Detect Return of Spontaneous Circulation during Chest Compression? Evaluation of a Novel Method: Carotid Artery Compression Ultrasound.

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of carotid artery compression using a point-of-care ultrasound probe (POCUS-CAC) in reducing pulse check times and facilitating the detection of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compared to manual palpation (MP). The secondary aim of the study is to assess the ability of POCUS-CAC to detect ROSC during ongoing chest compressions. This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary emergency department between January and June 2023.

Comparisons and associations of psychological factors and the number of painful sites in wheelchair basketball athletes with and without shoulder pain: A cross-sectional case-control study.

Objective: To compare psychological factors and the number of painful sites between wheelchair basketball athletes (WBA) with and without shoulder pain and examine their associations with shoulder pain.

Design: A cross-sectional, case-control study.

Methods: Forty-three WBA participated.

Transforming industrial byproduct to eco-friendly functional material: Ground-granulated blast furnace slag reinforced paper for renewable energy storage.

This study pioneered an eco-friendly approach for reutilizing Ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) in paper production. This investigation is the first study focusing on the usage of paper production that presents both a new usage area of GGBFS and also a new sight. So, it can contribute to save the trees.

Manifestations of walking fatigability in people with multiple sclerosis based on gait quality and distance walked during the six minutes walking test.

Background: Distance walking fatigability (DWF) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) is defined as a decrease in the distance walking over time. However, declines in gait quality (i.e.
