Exploring the Relationship Between Dietary Phytochemical Index and Chemotherapy-Related Symptoms: Insights From a Cross-Sectional Study.

Phytochemicals may confer substantial benefits in alleviating chemotherapy-related symptoms. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the role of dietary phytochemicals on treatment-related symptoms in patients receiving chemotherapy. Data including demographic variables, anthropometric measures such as weight and height, 3-day food record, and Nightingale Symptom Assessment Scale (N-SAS), a composite measure of patients' chemotherapy-related symptoms, were gathered via face-to-face interviews.

Optimizing Grape Quality Through Tillage and Organic Fertilization: A Comprehensive Analysis of Phenolic and Anthocyanin Variability Over Three Years.

Knowing the concentration levels of phenolic compounds and anthocyanins in grape berries plays a key role, as these compounds significantly contribute to the nutritional value and quality of grapes, affecting both health benefits and grape quality. The current study was conducted to investigate how different tillage (disc harrow, chisel, no tillage) and organic fertilizer (Antep radish and broccoli chopped residue, olive blackwater) treatments affect the concentration of these valuable compounds in Royal grape berries over three consecutive years (2020-2022), providing insights into optimal agricultural practices for enhancing grape quality. Our results documented significant variations in phenolic and anthocyanin concentrations across different soil tillage, organic fertilizer treatments and years.

Experımental Study: The Effect Of 20% Intralıpıd Emulsıon Therapy In Cerebral Ischemıc Reperfusıon.

Background: This experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of 20% Intralipid Emulsion (ILE) treatment on Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (CIRI) after reperfusion in acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: In this experimental study, seven rats without any intervention (control group), seven rats (sham group) for which CIRI was created after the common carotid artery was ligated for 2 hours, and seven rats who were treated with 20% ILE after CIRI (CIRI + ILE group) were sacrificed after 24 hours, and histopathological findings were investigated.

Results: In rats that were not treated after CIRI, 52.

Stereotactic body radioablation therapy as an immediate and early term antiarrhythmic palliative therapeutic choice in patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia.

Background: Stereotactic body radioablation therapy (SBRT) has recently been introduced with the ability to provide ablative energy noninvasively to arrhythmogenic substrate while reducing damage to normal cardiac tissue nearby and minimizing patients' procedural risk. There is still debate regarding whether SBRT has a predominant effect in the early or late period after the procedure. We sought to assess the time course of SBRT's efficacy as well as the value of using a blanking period following a SBRT session.

The Influences of Seismic Hazards for Cultural Heritage Sites: Roman City of Hierapolis.

Earthquakes have been responsible for the destruction of hundreds of monuments throughout human history.In this study, we tried to investigate the impact of historical and instrumental devastating earthquakes in the Roman city of Hierapolis which is one of the important cultural heritages located in the city of Denizli. In this study, the seismicity in the western Anatolian region from 7 September 2014 to 31 December 2020 was investigated to explore the b-value.

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).

Antibiotic administration in targeted nanoparticles protects the faecal microbiota of mice.

Antibiotic therapy comes with disturbances on human microbiota, resulting in changes of bacterial communities and thus leading to well-established health problems. In this study, we demonstrated that targeted teicoplanin administration maintains the faecal microbiota composition undisturbed in a mouse model while reaching therapeutic improvements for infection.

The association of fat preference with eating behavior and sex: Turkish version of the Fat Preference Questionnaire.

The fat content of food may play a role in food preferences. Increased fat intake has a role in elevated body weight. Firstly, we aimed to establish the Turkish version of the Fat Preference Questionnaire and secondly to evaluate the relevant factors with dietary fat preference including body mass index (BMI); sex; and subscales of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ).

Effectiveness of three different types of educational methods on implementation of proper oral hygiene behaviour prior to orthodontic treatment.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare three teaching methods' time and personnel requirements, and their effects on plaque and gingival indices.

Methods: This study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial on fixed orthodontic appliance candidates (n = 90), assigned into a control group (n = 30) and two different study groups (n = 30 each). The control group received standard printed educational material and was assisted with verbal information.

Enhanced antitumor activity of carbendazim on HeLa cervical cancer cells by aptamer mediated controlled release.

Carbendazim, is a broad-spectrum fungicide and also a promising experimental antitumor drug as reproduction and developmental toxicant, which is currently under phase II preclinical trials. In this study, an approach based on controlled and targeted release with aptamers and mesoporous silica nanoparticles was investigated to improve the antitumor activity of carbendazim. To this end, we synthesized aptamer conjugated silica nanoparticles for testing cytotoxicity properties with human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cultured cells.

Erratum to: Vascular endothelial growth factor induces contralesional corticobulbar plasticity and functional neurological recovery in the ischemic brain.

Pea3 transcription factor promotes neurite outgrowth.

Pea3 subfamily of E-twenty six transcription factors consist of three major -exhibit branching morphogenesis, the function of Pea3 family in nervous system development and regeneration is only beginning to unfold. In this study, we provide evidence that Pea3 can directs neurite extension and axonal outgrowth in different model systems, and that Serine 90 is important for this function. We have also identified neurofilament-L and neurofilament-M as two putative novel targets for Pea3.

The effects of three different mouth rinses in a 4-day supragingival plaque regrowth study.

Objective: This study compares the effects of three different mouth rinses with respect to reducing Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) colony counts on the teeth and tongue surfaces.

Materials And Methods: In this study, comparison tests using the alcohol-free 0.

Fat-covered vein graft.

Vein graft is widely used in peripheral vascular surgery. Many free flaps and replantation failures are the result of technical problems in performing the anastomoses. A remarkable number of these technical errors are caused by tension or improper placement of the surgical union.

Avulsion fractures from the base of phalanges of the fingers.

Avulsion fractures of the phalanges are among challenging problems encountered in the hand surgery. These fractures are characterized by existence of small bone fragments usually attached to a collateral ligament. They mostly occur in metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints.
