Unknown origin of acute myocardial infarction and lifesaving percutaneous coronary intervention in a 10-year-old girl.

Myocardial infarction is extremely rare in children. However, chest pain suspected to be cardiac in origin by the parents is a very common presenting symptom in pediatric emergency services. In this case, an electrocardiogram is very important in the differential diagnosis of cardiogenic complaints and should be carefully considered.

Thermoluminescence properties of the rock naturally annealed for thousands of years by flames from the earth's inner layers.

The gas leak in Chimaera near Çıralı, Antalya, has been active for thousands of years. It is also known to be the source of the first Olympic flame in the Hellenistic period. The sample taken from the Chimaere seepage annealed for thousands of years was determined to be calcite-magnesian (Ca, Mg)O .

Predictive value of Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc for disease severity in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Objective: The cardiovascular system is one of the most affected systems in the liver cirrhosis (LC) process, especially due to the tendency to arrhythmia. Since the data about the relationship between LC and novel electrocardiography (ECG) indexes are lacking, we aimed to investigate the association between LC and Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratio.

Patients And Methods: The study included 100 patients in the study group (56 male, median age 60) and 100 in the control group (52 female, 60 median age) between January 2021 and January 2022.

Thermoluminescence in pumice stone collected from the Mediterranean coast.

Pumice is a low-density, light-coloured volcanic rock (igneous rock) formed when the magma from a volcanic eruption is suddenly cooled. It has a porous structure and can be different colours and have different densities. Pumice stone, unlike other rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density.

Effects of antidiabetics and exercise therapy on suppressors of cytokine signaling-1, suppressors of cytokine signaling-3, and insulin receptor substrate-1 molecules in diabetes and obesity.

Objective: Pathological destruction of insulin signaling molecules such as insulin receptor substrate, especially due to the increase in suppressors of cytokine signaling molecules, has been demonstrated in experimental diabetes. The contribution of suppressors of cytokine signaling proteins to the development of insulin resistance and the effects of antidiabetic drugs and exercise on suppressors of cytokine signaling proteins are not clearly known.

Methods: A total of 48 Wistar albino adult male rats were divided into six groups: control group, obese group with diabetes, obese diabetic rats treated with metformin, obese diabetic rats treated with pioglitazone, obese diabetic rats treated with exenatide, and obese diabetic rats with applied exercise program.

Peroxinitrite and Malondialdehyde as Biomarkers for Overactive Bladder.

A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Videolaryngoscopy and Macintosh Laryngoscopy in Intubation Attempts on Adult Patients.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of videolaryngoscopy and Macintosh laryngoscopy on adult patients who were scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia.

Methods: Of the 200 adult patients who were scheduled to undergo general anaesthesia, 100 were intubated with a videolaryngoscope and 100 with a Macintosh laryngoscope. The patients' age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, height, weight, body mass index, smoking and alcohol habits, comorbidity, and neck circumference were recorded.

Thermoluminescence studies of calcite conducted by bacterial CaCO precipitation in organic soil.

In this study, the thermoluminescence (TL) properties of the calcite conducted by bacterial calcium carbonate (CaCO) precipitation (BCCP) in organic soils were investigated. The bacterial calcium carbonate (CaCO) precipitation (BCCP) is a popular technique and has been applied in a variety of civil and geotechnical engineering applications. For example, bacterial calcium carbonate precipitation fills the gaps on the organic ground and makes cementing it with the biological method using bacteria.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients with autoimmune hepatitis.

Background: Data regarding outcome of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in vaccinated patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are lacking. We evaluated the outcome of COVID-19 in AIH patients who received at least one dose of Pfizer- BioNTech (BNT162b2), Moderna (mRNA-1273) or AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1-S) vaccine.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective study on AIH patients with COVID-19.

Hot air-assisted radio frequency drying of grated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.): Drying behavior and the associated effect on characteristics of potato flour.

In this study, drying of grated potato in a hot air-assisted radio frequency system (HA-RF) and the associated effects on the final potato flour quality were studied. The drying behavior of the grated potatoes at different electrode distances (70-90 mm) and sample thickness (2-4 cm) was investigated. The safe drying (without burning tendency) of the maximum amount of sample (1000 g) in a reasonable drying time was carried out at 80 mm of electrode gap and 4 cm of sample thickness.

Effect of sequential-combined solar energy assisted hot air and hot air assisted radio frequency drying on the physical and chemical properties of dried apricots.

Quality characteristics of sulphured and non-sulphured apricots dried with a sequential combined pilot scale solar assisted hot air and hot air assisted radio frequency dryer and conventional sun system were compared. The combined drying approach showed improved color, hardness, antioxidant activity and retention of vitamin C, β-carotene and total phenolic content values compared to conventional sun drying both for sulphured and non-sulphured samples. The effects of sulphur concentration and addition of pistachio hull extract as a treatment prior to drying were also investigated.

Statistical investigation of the bioprocess conditions of alkali combined twin-screw extrusion pretreatment to enhance fractionation and enzymatic hydrolysis of bulgur bran.

Background: Bulgur bran (BB) is a potential source for the production of value-added products such as fermentable sugars and xylooligosaccharides (XOs). In this study, alkali combined twin-screw extrusion pretreatment was performed and statistically optimized to enhance fractionation and enzymatic hydrolysis of BB. The pretreatment conditions (barrel temperature, screw speed and alkali impregnation) were optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD) to obtain the highest hemicellulose separation from BB.

Computational Analysis of Molnupiravir.

In this work, we report in-depth computational studies of three plausible tautomeric forms, generated through the migration of two acidic protons of the -hydroxylcytosine fragment, of molnupiravir, which is emerging as an efficient drug to treat COVID-19. The DFT calculations were performed to verify the structure of these tautomers, as well as their electronic and optical properties. Molecular docking was applied to examine the influence of the structures of the keto-oxime, keto-hydroxylamine and hydroxyl-oxime tautomers on a series of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins.
