Objectives: To evaluate the gastroprotective potential of zafirlukast against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were included in this study and randomly divided into 4 equal groups (n=8); control (normal) group, indomethacin group, Ranitidine group, and Zafirlukast group. Indomethacin was given as a single oral dose of (20 mg/kg) for the induction of ulcers.
Article Synopsis
- Lower extremity amputation (LEA) is a major health issue for individuals with diabetes, significantly impacting their physical and social well-being; this study focused on assessing LEA prevalence and risk factors in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients.
- A cross-sectional study was conducted in Khartoum, Sudan, with 315 diabetic participants, using interviews and statistical analysis to evaluate the data; it revealed a 17.1% prevalence of LEA among the subjects, primarily affecting older men with long-term diabetes mostly diagnosed as type 2.
- The key risk factors identified for amputation include the presence of neuropathy, ulcer size greater than 2.5 cm, and retinopathy, highlighting the need for improved prevention strategies to
Background: Depression is the most common prevalent psychiatric condition among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and especially during dialysis. This study aimed to evaluate depression symptoms in Sudanese patients with end-stage renal diseases (ESRD) who undergo hemodialysis.
Methods: This is a case finding, hospital-based study recruited 75 patients on dialysis in Khartoum, Sudan.
Despite the fact that the month of Ramadan includes 29-30 days and the duration of fasting for each day can last for between 12 and 16 h, it was estimated that a large number of individuals with diabetes do fast during Ramadan. In light of recent advancement of new pharmacological agents, drugs such as vildagliptin, sitagliptin, and liraglutide were found to be safe to use during this month of fasting. These therapeutic agents can also be used in combination with metformin.

The results showed the importance of the pollutant concentration effect on the acetamiprid degradation rate.
