Development and validation of the gynecologic examination anxiety scale (GEAS): A 20‐item patient‐reported measure

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Gynecologic examinations often provoke anxiety, embarrassment, and a perceived loss of control. Valid, patient‐focused tools that specifically quantify examination‐related anxiety remain limited. This study developed and validated the gynecologic examination anxiety scale (GEAS). Methods In a methodological study conducted in Turkey (

Sleep deprivation aggravates hepatocytes steatosis and insulin resistance by regulating exosomal microRNAs

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Sleep deprivation accelerates the progression of MASLD and IR by up‐regulating the expression of miR‐3572‐5p and down‐regulating the expression of miR‐183‐5p in circulating exosomes, thereby inhibiting fatty acid β‐oxidation and disrupting insulin signaling pathways. Abstract Sleep deprivation (SD) threatens human health and increases the prevalence of

Parasite communities in two sparid fishes from the western Mediterranean: a comparative analysis based on samples from three localities off the Algerian coast

Helminthologia, 2017
We provide the first known comparative assessment of metazoan parasite communities in two taxonomically and ecologically related sparids, Boops boops and Spicara maena, that are common in the coastal infralittoral habitats in the Mediterranean.

Extreme Climate Events in Morocco: Historical Analysis and Future Projections Based on CMIP6 Simulations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Historical observations and bias‐corrected CMIP6 projections reveal intensifying warm extremes, declining cold events and increasingly irregular precipitation patterns across Morocco. Future warming, particularly under SSP5‐8.5, produces an almost linear amplification of heat, aridity and hydrological stress, leading to longer droughts and more intense

Spatial distribution patterns and population structure of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea), in the coastal fishery of western Sardinia: a geostatistical analysis

Scientia Marina, 2012
The identification of appropriate spatial distribution patterns for the observation, analysis and management of stocks with a persistent spatial structure, such as sea urchins, is a key issue in fish ecology and fisheries research.
