Potato peel waste fermentation by to produce lactic acid and ethanol.

Potato peel waste (PPW), a zero-value by-product generated from potato processing, is a promising fermentation substrate due to its large quantity of starch, nonstarch polysaccharides, lignin, protein, and lipid. is a filamentous fungus that is mainly known as a lactic acid producer and can ferment various agro-wastes. This study aimed to use for the fermentation of PPW.

Controlled synthesis and computational analysis of gold nanostars for the treatment of .

() is linked to the widespread fusarium wilt in plants affecting the quality and yield of food crops. Management of fusarium wilt by synthetic fertilizers poses safety concerns. Safer-by-design nanomaterials synthesized with a greener approach can meet the needs of commercial antifungal drug resistance.

Evaluation of patient satisfaction with pharyngeal airway changes after orthognathic surgery in patients with Class III skeletal anomalies.

Purpose: The aims of our study were to determine the changes in the pharyngeal airway after treating patients with Class III malocclusion who received double jaw surgery, to determine the hard tissue and soft tissue parameters and the hyoid bone and tongue positions after surgery, to determine the changes to compare the pretreatment and post-treatment measurements of the patients in the double jaw group with the measurements of the control group patients, and to evaluate postoperative patient satisfaction.

Materials And Methods: The study included thirty-two Class III adult patients that received double jaw surgery and twenty-five Class I patients. Cephalometric records were taken before treatment (T1) and after treatment (T2).

Detection of COVID-19 and its pulmonary stage using Bayesian hyperparameter optimization and deep feature selection methods.

Since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in December 2019, many studies have been carried out on artificial intelligence for the rapid diagnosis of the disease to support health services. Therefore, in this study, we present a powerful approach to detect COVID-19 and COVID-19 findings from computed tomography images using pre-trained models using two different datasets. COVID-19, influenza A (H1N1) pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia and healthy lung image classes were used in the first dataset.

Quantifying the influences of radiation therapy on deformability of human red blood cells by dual-beam optical tweezers.

Radiation therapy is widely used as a treatment tool for malignancies. However, radiation-related complications are still unavoidable risks for off-target cells. Little is known about radiation therapy's possible effects on mechanical features of the off-target cells such as human red blood cells (RBCs).

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy associated with infectious mononucleosis: A rare presentation.

This case report describes the association between acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. A 26-year-old female presented with acute bilateral blurred vision and paracentral scotoma. The patient also had prodromal flu-like symptoms.

The prognostic value of β-catenin and LEF-1 expression in patients with operable gastric carcinoma.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of β-catenin and LEF-1 expression in patients with operable gastric cancer that receive adjuvant treatment and the relationship between demographic and histopathological variables.

Material And Method: In this study, 82 gastric cancer patients treated with adjuvant treatment after surgery and followed in the Medical Oncology Department of Kocaeli University were included. β-catenin and LEF-1 expression were examined by immunuhistochemical analysis in paraffin embedded tumor tissues of the patients.

Paranasal sinus mucoceles: our clinical experiments.

Objectives: We present the clinical and radiological features, treatment protocols, and medium-long-term results of our patients following surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele, along with a review of the relevant literature.

Materials And Methods: A total of 18 patients (11 women and 7 men) who underwent surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Otolaryngology, between 2006 and 2013 were examined retrospectively. The mean patient age was 41 (range 4-73).
