Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. Thyroid cancers are more common especially in developed and developing countries where thyroid nodule detection and sampling are performed more frequently. Although most thyroid cancers have an indolent clinical course, their increasing incidence has led to the investigation of oncogenic changes in tumor cells and treatments targeting them. Fusion genes, known as driver or passenger mutations in many cancers, are chimeric genes that cause parts of two or more genes to join together. They may occur as a result of chromosomal rearrangements or abnormal transcription.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant primary brain tumors observed in adults. In recent years, exosomes, which are small extracellular vesicles involved in intercellular communication, have garnered significant interest due to their roles in cancer progression and treatment resistance. Exosomes derived from glioblastoma facilitate bidirectional signaling between tumor cells, stromal cells, and immune cells, emerging as key mediators of intercellular communication within the tumor microenvironment. These exosomes carry a variety of bioactive molecular cargos, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, which collectively modulate various aspects of tumor biology.
Aim: This study is conducted to examine the effects of internet addiction on peer relationships.
Material and Methods: The sample consists of 227 students studying in the nursing department of a foundation university in Istanbul and data were collected through online platforms. In this study, the Personal Information Form, Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, and Peer Relations Scale are applied. The collected data are analyzed and normally distributed by the SPSS 25 statistical program. The Independent Samples T-test and One-Way ANOVA test are used to determine the differences between groups. Pearson correlation analysis is applied to determine the relationship between the scales.
Aim: This descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the level of knowledge about infectious diseases and attitudes towards infectious diseases of students enrolled in the Nursing Department of a foundation university.
Material and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 101 students studying in the nursing department of a foundation university in the 2020-2021 academic year. The data were collected using the “Sociodemographic characteristics of nursing students and level of knowledge about infectious diseases questionnaire” containing a total of 38 questions created by the researchers and the “Questionnaire for evaluating nursing students' attitudes towards infectious diseases” containing a total of 25 questions created by the researchers. The data were evaluated using SPSS 22.00 package program.
In the case presented, the aim is to discuss the causes of men's persistent stalking and harassment behaviors and the precautions that can be taken, as well as what should be done in terms of protecting women, ensuring their safety and the legal aspect. It is emphasized that the men's persistent stalking and harassment behaviors can escalate into domestic violence against women within a certain period.
