Protective effects of vincamine against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer by attenuation of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α mRNA expression levels in the gastric mucosa of BALB/c mice.

Vincamine, a monoterpenoid alkaloid, and an active constituent of plant Catharanthus roseus Linn, has been proclaimed for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study was designed to evaluate the gastroprotective activity of Vincamine by ameliorating gastric ulcer in BALB/c mice. The study was also designed to find the possible mechanism of gastric protection by exploring the impact of Vincamine on gastric pH, acidic content, observing histopathology and molecular expression of inflammatory mediators like Interleukin- β (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- α) and oxidative stress markers in the gastric tissue.

Evaluating Medical Student Engagement in Flipped Classrooms: Insights on Motivation and Peer Learning.

Background: Flipped classrooms have gained popularity for their ability to improve educational outcomes by flipping traditional teaching approaches and fostering interactive learning settings. Our study aims to assess the impact of these classrooms on medical students' motivation, critical thinking skills, and facilitation of collaborative learning.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted to involve quantitative surveys administered to students both before and after the teaching session.

Ethical and legal implications of health monitoring wearable devices: A scoping review.

Background: health monitoring wearable devices (HMWDs) are increasingly implemented for personalized and preventive care. This review aims to summarize the existing literature on the ethical and legal implications of HMWDs in healthcare.

Methods: the study design is a scoping review and narrative synthesis of scientific literature.
