Machine Translation (MT) has emerged as a crucial tool in bridging language barriers. In health settings, MT is increasingly relevant due to the diversity of patient populations, the dominance of English in medical research, and the limited availability of human translation services. Improvements in MT accuracy have pr…

Sport is a multifactorial phenomenon that is influenced by many factors. Although many factors affect sports performance, genetic factors may be important issues that need to be examined. In addition, the relationship between sports performance and genes is still unclear. Due to the developments in omics technologies,…

Hypernatremia or high serum sodium levels can have many different causes, including insufficient free water intake, or excess free water losses. The management of hypernatremia focuses on resolving the underlying cause, replenishing free water deficit, and preventing further losses while closely monitoring serum s…

Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease caused by fungi (eumycetoma) or bacteria (actinomycetoma), with high morbidity.
