Health-related physical fitness in children among five Mediterranean countries: a cross-cultural study from the DELICIOUS project.

Background: Health-related fitness (HRF) components are essential for supporting healthy growth and reducing long-term health risks in children. This study explored cross-cultural variations in HRF among children from five Mediterranean countries-Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Portugal, and Spain-within the framework of the DELICIOUS project.

Methods: A total of 860 children participated in the study, including 204 from Egypt ( = 204, 11.

The ultrastructural changes in the adult rat ovary after administration of copper oxide nanoparticles and the possible ameliorative influence of selenium.

There is an important concern about the potential health and environmental risks that may develop due to exposure to copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs). Selenium is an essential trace element. It supports the expression of a variety of selenoproteins.

Ganoderic acid a potential protective impact on bleomycin (BLM) -induced lung fibrosis in albino mice: Targeting caveolin 1/TGF-β/ Smad and P38MAPK signaling pathway.

Background: Bleomycin (BLM), an anticancer medication, can exacerbate pulmonary fibrosis by inducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and antioxidant properties are exhibited by ganoderic acid A (GAA).

Aim: So, we aim to assess GAA's protective impact on lung fibrosis induced via BLM.

Ameliorative effect of venom against arthritic influence of Freund's complete adjuvant FCA in paw and ankle of male rats.

Background: Pain and inflammation are closely associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which affects the bones and joints.

Aim: While there are a number of therapeutic options for arthritis, their side effects restrict their use and encourage the search for alternative, natural remedies.

Methods: In male rats, we examined the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties of venom (NHV).

Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma to the Pancreas: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Although more than 90% of pancreatic tumors represent primary tumors, specifically ductal adenocarcinomas, metastatic tumors are not infrequent at this site. Metastasis of salivary gland tumors to the pancreas is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the English-language medical literature. Here, we report a patient with metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma to the pancreas, 24 months following the initial diagnosis, and review the available literature on secondary tumors located in the pancreas with an emphasis on tumors of salivary gland origin.
