LncRNAs Orchestrating Neuroinflammation: A Comprehensive Review.

CNS diseases account for a major part of the comorbidity and mortality of the human population; moreover, neuroinflammation has become an indication for different CNS diseases, for instance, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Microglia and astrocytes are the two main glial cells that can be found in the CNS. Each of these plays an important role in mediating immune responses like inflammation.

Racial/Ethnic and Geographic Differences in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Service-Connected Disability Determination and Monthly Compensation Among Post-9/11 US Veterans.

Purpose: Veterans who incur a traumatic brain injury (TBI) during active duty service may be eligible to receive service-connected disability (SCD) compensation. This study examined potential racial/ethnic and geographic disparities in TBI SCD determination and overall monthly SCD compensation. Federal Tribal Land (FTL) was incorporated into existing VA geographic designations of urban, rural, highly rural, and US Territories (UST).

An innovative approach to studying the physical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties of propylene film using Allium sativum skin, AgNO, and corn Zein encapsulation (AACE).

This study aims to develop an edible film using Allium sativum skin, AgNO, and corn zein encapsulation (AACE) while employing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to evaluate its physical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties. The film exhibited a tensile strength of 3.5 MPa, significantly higher than the control film's strength of 2.

Mortality Prediction in Patients With Breast Cancer by Artificial Neural Network Model and Elastic Net Regression.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, and it is important to identify models that can accurately predict mortality in patients with this cancer. The aim of the present study was to use the elastic net regression and artificial neural network (ANN) models in diagnosing and predicting factors affecting BC mortality. A cross-sectional study.

Evaluation of Cytotoxicity and Antimicrobial Activity of Thanatin Recombinant Peptide against Some Oral Bacteria: A Novel Approach against Bacterial Pathogens in Dentistry.

Objective: This study investigated the antimicrobial properties of the thanatin peptide against oral bacteria associated with dental caries and endodontic failures. Additionally, the cytotoxic effects of this peptide on human gingival fibroblast cells (HGFCs) were assessed.

Methods And Materials: The antimicrobial property of thanatin was tested on Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus oralis, and Enterococcus faecalis, using the microbroth dilu-tion method.
