New insight into the protective effect of Citrullus colocynthis loaded with ZnONP cream on glutaraldehyde-induced dermatitis in health care workers.

Glutaraldehyde (GLU) is mainly used in medicine by healthcare workers during infection control as a chemical disinfectant. It has been linked to numerous health hazards that range from asthma to irritation of the eye to contact dermatitis. Citrullus colocynthis (C.

Activation of SIRT1 by SRT1720 alleviates dyslipidemia, improves insulin sensitivity and exhibits liver-protective effects in diabetic rats on a high-fat diet: New insights into the SIRT1/Nrf2/NFκB signaling pathway.

Insulin resistance and diabetes are associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) conditions, which are distinguished by metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammation. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, is fundamental in regulating metabolic pathways, reducing inflammation, and improving antioxidant defenses. This is the first study to investigate the effects of SRT1720, a SIRT1 activator, in diabetic rats on a high-fat diet.

Extensible lateral approach versus sinus tarsi approach for sanders type II and III calcaneal fractures osteosynthesis: a randomized controlled trial of 186 fractures.

Aims: Which is the best extensile lateral (ELA) or sinus tarsi (STA) approach for osteosynthesis displaced intraarticular calcaneal fracture (DIACF) is still debatable. The current RCT's primary objective was to compare the complications incidence after open reduction and internal fixation of DIACFs through STA vs. ELA.

No Right Way: Removal of a Pencil Foreign Body From a Male Urethra.

Foreign body insertion into the urethra is uncommonly encountered in urology practice. Such insertion can result in a myriad of problems including bleeding, infectious sequelae, urinary retention, urethral injury or rupture, and resultant urethral stricture formation. This article describes a case in which an elderly male inserted a pencil into his urethra, which subsequently became lodged and required removal under regional anesthesia in the operating theater.
