Geochemical and Geological Investigation of Skarn‐Type Pb–Zn Mineralization in Hastanetepe (Balya‐Balıkesir, Türkiye): An Approach Based on Fluid Inclusions, Sulphur Isotopes and Geochemical Data

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Integrated petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical data from the Hastanetepe Pb–Zn deposit (Balya, Türkiye) reveal multi‐stage hydrothermal alteration and a magmatic sulphur source. Fluid inclusion and sulphur isotope results indicate a complex fluid evolution responsible for skarn‐type Pb–Zn mineralization along limestone–dacite contacts ...

Biological Effects of Selenium‐Containing Ionic Liquids: Cytotoxicity, Mercury Interaction, and Antiproliferative Activity in Glioblastoma Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that participates in redox regulation and cellular homeostasis. Selenium‐containing ionic liquids (ILsSe) have emerged as hybrid compounds combining the properties of organoselenium molecules with the tunable features of ionic liquids.

Evaluating the impact of audit and feedback using a novel text and web‐based platform with unblinded peer comparison

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Hospitalists vary in their ordering practices related to labs, imaging, and discharge order times, which can lead to inefficient care, excess utilization of diagnostic tests, and prolonged length of stay. Peer comparison can be an effective way to influence physician practices. We implemented an automated, text‐based, unblinded peer comparison

G2‐PASE: A Novel, Rapid, and Reliable Measure of Plaque Psoriasis Severity

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), a composite measure of plaque psoriasis disease severity, is commonly used to determine treatment eligibility and response, but is time consuming for every‐day clinical use. The Gulliver‐Gestalt‐Psoriasis Area Severity Estimate (G2‐PASE) was developed to approximate PASI scores using ...

Andrographolide Modulates Fibrogenic and Oxidative Stress Responses in Human Lung Fibroblasts

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disorder characterized by fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Andrographolide (ANDRO) has been reported to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Head‐to‐Head Comparison of Four Ultrasound Elastography Techniques in Detecting Advanced Fibrosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Elastography is an important noninvasive method for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF); however, evidence remains insufficient, particularly regarding acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) techniques. This prospective mulitcenter study concludes that vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) demonstrates superior diagnostic performance to ...
