We investigated population genetics of the native tree species Acer velutinum Boiss., Fagus orientalis Lipsky, and Quercus castaneifolia C.A. Mey. in the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran and also F. orientalis populations in the Euro-Siberian and Colchic subregions of northern Türkiye. We used the double-digest RADseq method and genotyped 90 populations and 1,589 individuals across the distribution range of the species. Geno...

Selenium is a trace element with pivotal roles in metabolic processes. Studies suggested that selenium deficiency could lead to impaired lipid profiles. However, inconsistent results have been reported regarding the association between serum selenium concentrations and lipid profile (triglycerides, LDL, HDL, VLDL, and total cholesterol). Thus, we aimed to review the correlation between them. A systematic literature search was...

Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance perfusion (DSC-MRP) is a non-invasive imaging technique for hemodynamic measurements. Various perfusion parameters, such as cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF), can be derived from DSC-MRP, hence this non-invasive imaging protocol is widely used clinically for the diagnosis and assessment of intracranial pathologies. Currently, most institutions use comme...
