The protective effect of melatonin on chronic paradoxical sleep deprivation induced metabolic and memory deficit in rats.

Backgrounds: Impaired sleep is independent risk factor of neurodegeneration and dementia. Chronic insomnia impairs melatonin (MEL) production that is directly proportionate to its duration. The underlying mechanisms linking sleep loss to dementia and the possible therapeutic effect of melatonin have not been fully elucidated.

Effects of garlic, onion, and apple cider vinegar as a herbal mixture on performance and blood traits of broilers inoculated with chicken infectious anemia virus.

This study assessed the effects of a herbal mixture (HM) to protect poultry against chicken infectious anemia (CIA) and to modulate the adverse effects of this virus on performance, mortality, blood profile, white blood cells (WBCs) count, liver enzymes, liver histopathology, and intestinal morphology. Therefore, 240 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into four experimental groups, with six replicates and ten chicks per group. The experimental groups consisted of a control group and groups with 2.

Magnitude of opportunistic infections and associated factors among adult people living with human immune deficient virus on art at selected public hospital, mogadishu somalia: cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: Opportunistic infections (OIs) remain the leading cause of death among people living with Human immune deficient virus and OIs-related mortality in Africa is estimated at 310 000 cases. Besides, Somalia has scant data about OIs since a high burden of tuberculosis and HIV co-infection has been reported. Hence, up-to-date information is vital for better treatment and interventions and may support national and international HIV strategies and eradication programs.

Case of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a 32-Year-Old Male Receiving Bleomycin, Etoposide, and Cisplatin Chemotherapy for Embryonal Carcinoma.

Myocardial infarction in young individuals has unique risk factors compared to the older population. Along with usual risk factors, one should explore causes such as recreational drug use, medication-induced myocardial infarction, and spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Here, we present the case of a 32-year-old male who presented with chest pain and was found to have complete thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery.

A fuzzy logic-based secure hierarchical routing scheme using firefly algorithm in Internet of Things for healthcare.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a universal network to supervise the physical world through sensors installed on different devices. The network can improve many areas, including healthcare because IoT technology has the potential to reduce pressure caused by aging and chronic diseases on healthcare systems. For this reason, researchers attempt to solve the challenges of this technology in healthcare.

Efficiency of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Hesperetin in the Treatment of Streptozotocin-Induced Type 1 Diabetes in Wistar Rats.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was established to be ameliorated by islet transplantation, but the shortage of the transplanted human islet tissue and the use of immunosuppressive drugs to inhibit the rejection of allogeneic grafts make this type of therapy is limited. Nowadays, therapy with stem cells is one of the most promising future treatments. This kind of therapy could have a profound impact on both replacement, as well as regenerative therapies, to improve or even cure various disorders, including diabetes mellitus.

BIFROST: a method for registering diverse imaging datasets of the brain.

Unlabelled: The heterogeneity of brain imaging methods in neuroscience provides rich data that cannot be captured by a single technique, and our interpretations benefit from approaches that enable easy comparison both within and across different data types. For example, comparing brain-wide neural dynamics across experiments and aligning such data to anatomical resources, such as gene expression patterns or connectomes, requires precise alignment to a common set of anatomical coordinates. However, this is challenging because registering functional imaging data to reference atlases requires accommodating differences in imaging modality, microscope specification, and sample preparation.

Effect of dextrose prolotherapy on internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dextrose prolotherapy in treating internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint.

Patients And Methods: A total of 20 patients with temporomandibular joint internal derangement were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of internal derangement was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Amsterdam 2022 process: A summary of the methodology for the Amsterdam International Consensus on Concussion in Sport.

The purpose of this paper is to summarise the consensus methodology that was used to inform the International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (Amsterdam 2022). Building on a Delphi process to inform the questions and outcomes from the 5th International Conference on Concussion in Sport, the Scientific Committee identified key questions, the answers to which would help encapsulate the current science in sport-related concussion and help guide clinical practice. Over 3½ years, delayed by 2 years due to the pandemic, author groups conducted systematic reviews on each selected topic.

Evaluation and treatment of rhinosinusitis with primary antibody deficiency in adults: Evidence-based review with recommendations.

Background: There is clear evidence that the prevalence of primary antibody deficiency (PAD) is higher in patients with recurrent and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) than in the general population. The purpose of this multi-institutional and multidisciplinary evidence-based review with recommendations (EBRR) is to thoroughly review the literature on rhinosinusitis with PAD, summarize the existing evidence, and provide recommendations on the evaluation and management of rhinosinusitis in patients with PAD.

Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were systematically reviewed from inception through August 2022.

The educational value of ward rounds as a learning and teaching opportunity for house officers, medical officers, and registrars in Sudanese hospitals: a multi-center cross-sectional study.

Background: Ward rounds are a cornerstone in the educational experience of junior doctors and an essential part of teaching patient care. Here, we aimed to assess the doctors' perception of ward rounds as an educational opportunity and to identify the obstacles faced in conducting a proper ward round in Sudanese hospitals.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from the 15 to the 30 of January 2022 among house officers, medical officers, and registrars in about 50 teaching and referral hospitals in Sudan.

Rutin and Hesperidin Revoke the Hepatotoxicity Induced by Paclitaxel in Male Wistar Rats Their Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antiapoptotic Activities.

Paclitaxel, one of the most effective chemotherapeutic drugs, is used to treat various cancers but it is exceedingly toxic when used long-term and can harm the liver. This study aimed to see if rutin, hesperidin, and their combination could protect male Wistar rats against paclitaxel (Taxol)-induced hepatotoxicity. Adult male Wistar rats were subdivided into 5 groups (each of six rats).

Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and -Secretase Inhibitor Treatments Suppress Amyloid-25-35-Induced Cognitive Impairment in Rat Dams and Cortical Degeneration in Offspring.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of age-related neurodegeneration and ensuing cognitive impairment. Progressive deposition of extracellular amyloid beta (A) aggregates (plaques) and intracellular hyperphosphorylated Tau protein (p-Tau) are the core pathological markers of AD but may precede clinical symptoms by many years, presenting a therapeutic window of opportunity. Females are more frequently afflicted by AD than males, necessitating evaluation of novel treatments for the female population.

GPT-4 is an AI language model that can answer basic questions about rhinologic disease. Vetting is needed before AI models can be safely integrated into otolarygologic patient care.

Efficient taxa identification using a pangenome index.

Tools that classify sequencing reads against a database of reference sequences require efficient index data-structures. The -index is a compressed full-text index that answers substring presence/absence, count, and locate queries in space proportional to the amount of distinct sequence in the database: [Formula: see text] space, where is the number of Burrows-Wheeler runs. To date, the -index has lacked the ability to quickly classify matches according to which reference sequences (or sequence groupings, i.
