Novel preoperative computed tomography (CT)-derived parameters to enhance self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) outcomes in obstructive colorectal cancer.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate whether preoperative computed tomography (CT)-based morphological parameters predict the clinical success of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) in malignant colorectal obstruction.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-six patients with acute malignant colonic obstruction who underwent SEMS placement between 2016 and 2021 were retrospectively analysed. Tumour length, wall thickness, and lumen diameter were measured on preoperative CT, and ratios with SEMS dimensions were calculated.

Effects of epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs on fetal cardiac functions: A cross-sectional study from a tertiary center.

Aim: This study aimed to assess fetal cardiac function in response to epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs.

Methods: This cross-sectional prospective study included 31 pregnant women with epilepsy (22 on monotherapy, 9 unmedicated) and 45 randomly selected, gestational age-matched low-risk pregnant women. The mean gestational ages were comparable across groups: 30.

Isolation and characterization of novel , and strains with probiotic potential from fermented turnip juice.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates (29 isolates) from fermented turnip juices were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing techniques. The findings indicated that the most common strains belonged to sp. (55.

Isolation, identification and in vitro probiotic characterisation of yeast strains found in fermented turnip juice.

Unlabelled: The probiotic characteristics of yeasts isolated from fermented turnip juices collected from different cities of Türkiye were investigated. Most of the isolates were identified as (45%), (20%), (15%) and (12.5%).

Assessing the central vein sign in multiple sclerosis using contrast-enhanced isotropic FLAIR* on a 1.5T System: A prospective observational study.

Objective: Central vein sign (CVS) in isotropic FLAIR* imaging is a successful marker for multiple sclerosis (MS). Our objective is to explore the prevalence of gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) enhanced FLAIR* in a 1.5 T system for CVS assessment.
