The aim of this study is to investigate the smoking cessation tendencies of people with different levels of smoking addiction during the COVID-19 epidemic process and to investigate the variables that most affect the risk perception of being Covid-19. Data were collected between November 8 and December 20 2021. A total of 898 participants living in the Turkey aged 18 years or older were recruited from Google online form panel. In general, it can be said that the higher the education level and the higher the income, the better the people adapt to the epidemic conditions. During the epidemic, it is seen that people generally (88.2%) get the news about the process from official sources. It is seen that the participants trust the ministry of health and the scientific committee at a rate of 67.1% in the epidemic management. It is possible that those who have chronic diseases and are addicted to cigarettes will experience the COVID-19 process more heavily. However, in this study, it could not be said that those who have a chronic disease and are addicted to smoking are more inclined to quit smoking.

Objective: While associations of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption with adverse health outcomes are accruing, its environmental and food biodiversity impacts remain underexplored. This study examines associations between UPF consumption and dietary greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), land use, and food biodiversity.
Design: Prospective cohort study.

Whole blood (WB) transcriptomics offers a minimal-invasive method to assess patients' immune system. This study aimed to identify transcriptional patterns in WB associated with clinical outcomes in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We performed RNA-sequencing on pre-treatment WB samples from 145 patients with advanced cancer.

Objectives: The objectives were to examine the associations between accelerometer-measured circadian rest-activity rhythm (CRAR), the most prominent circadian rhythm in humans and the risk of mortality from all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer.
Methods: 7456 cancer participants from the UK Biobank were included. All participants wore accelerometers from 2013 to 2015 and were followed up until 24 January 2024, with a median follow-up of 9.

Background: The increasing prevalence of dermatological diseases will pose a growing challenge to the health care system and, in particular, to general practitioners (GPs) as the first point of contact for these patients. In many countries, primary care physicians are supported by teledermatology services.
Objective: The aim of this study was to detect learning effects and gains among GPs through teledermatology consultations (TCs) in daily practice.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), significantly threatens global poultry health by inducing immunosuppression and causing economic losses. To enhance vaccination efficacy, we engineered a transgenic strain of Eimeria acervulina (Ea-2C3d) expressing a fusion protein composed of IBDV VP2 and three tandem C3d segments (3C3d), utilizing C3d's adjuvant properties to boost immune responses. The transgene was generated by integrating codon-optimized VP2 and 3C3d sequences into the E.
