Exploring policy processes against microbial threats in Iran: a qualitative policy analysis.

Objectives: Microbial threats pose a growing concern worldwide. This paper reports the analysis of Iran's policy process against microbial threats.

Design: This is a qualitative study.

Enhancing classification of active and non-active lesions in multiple sclerosis: machine learning models and feature selection techniques.

Introduction: Gadolinium-based T1-weighted MRI sequence is the gold standard for the detection of active multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. The performance of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models in the classification of active and non-active MS lesions from the T2-weighted MRI images has been investigated in this study.

Methods: 107 Features of 75 active and 100 non-active MS lesions were extracted by using SegmentEditor and Radiomics modules of 3D slicer software.

Exosomes derived from human placental mesenchymal stem cells in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhance neuroregeneration in a rat model of sciatic nerve crush injury.

Peripheral nerve damage continues to be a significant challenge in the field of medicine, with no currently available effective treatment. Currently, we investigated the beneficial effects of human placenta mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs)- derived exosomes along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in a sciatic nerve injury model. Seventy-five male mature Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into five equal groups.

Pupillary Light Reflex and Menace Response in Neonatal Camel Calves (Camelus dromedarius).

Background: Pupillary light reflex (PLR) and menace response are among the tests used in neurological and ophthalmic examinations in animals.

Objective: The intent of this study was to investigate the development of the PLR and menace response in neonatal camel calves.

Methods: Thirty healthy camel calves were studied after birth until the menace response and PLR were well established.

Serological Survey of Antibodies Against PPR Virus in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran.

Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality in small ruminants. A clinical report of this disease in camels has been made in Iran; however, no accurate information is available about infection with this virus in the camel population of Iran.

Objectives: This study was designed and conducted to detect any trace of seroconversion in dromedary camels in Iran.
