Objective: Recently, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene has emerged as a potential candidate gene for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. We investigated whether ACE2 G8790A (rs2285666) polymorphism could be a genetic marker for susceptibility to COVID-19 and disease severity in Egyptian children and adolescents.
Methods: This was a prospective case-control study included 580 cases diagnosed with COVID-19, and 580 matched control children and adolescents.
Introduction: Nursing students experience significant academic and clinical stress due to challenging coursework, assessments, and educational demands, as well as the pressures associated with gaining practical healthcare experience. These challenges can lead to anxiety, fear of making errors, and concerns about patient well-being, ultimately impacting students' mental health and their preparation for a nursing career.
Objective: assesses the predictors of academic and clinical stress among nursing students.
Article Synopsis
- * Managing the symptoms associated with functional NENs may require approaches like tumor removal, chemotherapy, or specialized therapies aimed at reducing hormone production and its effects on the body.
- * This review emphasizes the importance of addressing the hormonal symptoms of NENs alongside traditional tumor reduction strategies to enhance the overall wellbeing of patients.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents a significant public health challenge, necessitating innovative interventions for effective treatment. Recent studies have challenged conventional perspectives on neurogenesis, unveiling endogenous repair mechanisms within the adult brain following injury. However, the intricate mechanisms governing post-TBI neurogenesis remain unclear.

- Obesity is linked to insulin resistance, affecting both glucose uptake and the body's blood vessel response to insulin, which is crucial for delivering glucose to tissues.
- A study tested the role of sympathetic activation in impaired insulin-triggered blood vessel dilation in obese adults using a controlled experiment with insulin and drugs to block sympathetic responses.
- Results showed that blocking sympathetic activation significantly improved blood flow and microvascular function when insulin was administered, indicating that sympathetic activity may hinder insulin's vascular effects in obesity.
