Effect of Tadalafil on Testicular Histology and Sperm Parameters in An Experimental Varicocele Model

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Varicocele is a common cause of male infertility, often associated with oxidative stress and impaired testicular blood flow. This study aimed to evaluate whether orally administered tadalafil, through its cGMP‐mediated vasodilatory and antioxidant effects, can protect against histological damage and altered sperm parameters in a rat model of

Efficient Extraction of Phenolic Compounds From Cariniana rubra Gardener Ex Miers From the Legal Amazon: Ultrasound‐Assisted Optimization, Chemical Characterization, and Antioxidant Potential

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Cariniana rubra, native to the Brazilian Cerrado and the Amazon‐Cerrado ecotone, is traditionally used in folk medicine but remains underexplored. This study optimized extraction yield and bioactive compound content using ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) and Soxhlet extraction.

Fertility and Growth Traits, Some Body Measurements, and Morphological Characteristics of Kars Shepherd Dogs

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
The animals were mated, and their care and nutrition were maintained regularly until parturition. Beginning at birth, body measurements were taken and recorded up to 12 months of age. In addition, the animals were visually documented through periodic photographic records. ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the fertility and growth traits, some body

Influence of a hybrid drying combined with infrared and heat pump dryer on drying characteristics, colour, thermal imaging and bioaccessibility of phenolics and antioxidant capacity of mushroom slices

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2023
An infrared-assisted heat pump drying (IR-HPD) was designed and used for drying of mushroom slices at three different infrared (IR) powers (50, 100, and 150 W) and a fixed drying temperature of 40°C and air velocity of 1 m/s.

Was the Formation of the North Anatolian Fault Influenced by the Aegean Extension?

Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 342-352, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The North Anatolian Fault (NAF), one of the most prominent plate boundary continental fault systems on Earth, facilitates the westward movement of the Anatolian microplate into the Aegean region. The temporal and spatial evolution of the NAF is important for understanding the mechanism of escape tectonics during plate interaction in active ...

Effect of Pressure Gradient on Flow and Heat Transfer over Surface-Mounted Heated Blocks in a Narrow Channel

Applied Sciences
In this study, pressure gradient effects on heat transfer from block-like electronic chips are investigated computationally. The pressure gradient is provided by the slope given to the upper plate and starts just before the first block. Tilt angles of −2°

Strike‐Slip Fault‐Generated Paleotsunamis in Lake Iznik (NW Türkiye): Numerical Modeling Corroborated by Coastal Deposits

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Strike‐slip faults in lacustrine environments present overlooked tsunamigenic potential. For the first time, we have reconstructed paleotsunamis triggered by strike‐slip faulting with a dip‐slip component that ruptured the lake floor. This study focuses on Lake Iznik (Türkiye), located along the middle strand of the North Anatolian Fault (MNAF)

Antioxidative defense mechanism of the ruderal Verbascum olympicum Boiss. against copper (Cu)-induced stress

Open Life Sciences, 2016
The endemic Verbascum olympicum has characteristics that allows it to live in degraded areas of Uludağ Mountain, Turkey and therefore known as a ruderal species. In this study, V.
