Cardioprotective strategies in the management of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity: current approaches and future directions.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC) is a significant challenge in cancer treatment, leading to heart failure and myocardial infarction. With rising cancer survival rates, the long-term cardiovascular health of survivors has gained importance. While several cardioprotective medications have been studied to mitigate chemotherapy's harmful effects on the heart, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and optimal use.

Mitigation of the hyperglycemic effect of streptozotocin-induced diabetes albino rats using biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder described by compromised insulin synthesis or resistance to insulin inside the human body. Diabetes is a persistent metabolic condition defined by elevated amounts of glucose in the bloodstream, resulting in a range of potential consequences. The main purpose of this study was to find out how biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) affect the blood sugar levels of diabetic albino rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ).

Photocatalytic reduction of 4-nitroaniline in aqueous solution using BiOCl/BiOBr/rGO ternary heterojunction under simulated UV-visible light irradiation.

BiOCl/BiOBr/rGO ternary heterojunctions were synthesized and characterized, and their photocatalytic activities were examined. Three different rGO mass ratios were incorporated into BiOClBiOBr; 1% rGO, 3% rGO, and 5% rGO, respectively. The successful incorporation of rGO into the composites was confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).

Effect of Inclusion of Degraded and Non-Degraded Date Pits in Broilers' Diet on their Intestinal Microbiota and Growth Performance.

The current study aims to assess the effect of non-degraded date pits (NDDP) and degraded date pits (DDP) in broilers' diets on gut microbiota and growth performance. The degradation of date pits (DP) occurred via the cellulolytic fungus by a solid-state degradation procedure. One-day-old Brazilian broilers were allocated into six dietary groups: (1) maize-soy diet, (2) maize-soy diet with oxytetracycline (20%, 50 g 100 kg), (3) maize-soy diet with 5% NDDP, (4) maize-soy diet with 10% NDDP, (5) maize-soy diet with 5% DDP, and (6) maize-soy diet with 10% DDP.

Intestinal Development and Histomorphometry of Broiler Chickens Fed Degraded Date Seed Diets.

A study was conducted to investigate the impact of degraded date pits (DDP) on the development and morphology of the intestine in broilers. was used to produce the DDP using a solid-state degradation method. One hundred and eighty broilers were divided into six treatments in triplicate groups of 10 chicks each.

Effect of Degraded Date Pits on Antioxidant Enzyme Activities and Biochemical Responses of Broiler Chickens.

The long-term use of antimicrobials as growth promoters in poultry feed leads to antimicrobial resistance in pathogens. Thus, alternatives to antibiotics are essential for reasons associated with both safety and cost-effectiveness. Underutilized plant sources need to be developed to replace antibiotics in broiler feed.

Effect of Botulinum Toxin on Equinus Foot Deformity in Cerebral Palsy Patients: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a brain disorder that affects the development, movement and posture leading to limitation of Range of Movement (ROM) in the growing children. CP leads to deformities such as equinus foot deformity. We aim to investigate the efficacy of different botulinum toxin (BTX) products with or without serial casting in reducing the muscle spasticity in equinus foot deformity in patients with CP.

Antenatal perineal massage benefits in reducing perineal trauma and postpartum morbidities: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Most vaginal births are associated with trauma to the perineum. The morbidity associated with perineal trauma can be significant, especially when it leads to third- and fourth-degree perineal tears. We hypothesized that antenatal perineal massage could decrease the incidence of perineal trauma, particularly severe perineal tears and other postpartum complications.

The effect of inhalation aromatherapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: The goal of this study was to synthesize evidence regarding the efficacy of inhalation aromatherapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: We conducted an electronic search of four authentic databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which compared inhalation aromatherapy versus control in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, were included.

Anti-Alzheimer potential, metabolomic profiling and molecular docking of green synthesized silver nanoparticles of Lampranthus coccineus and Malephora lutea aqueous extracts.

Effect of dietary inclusion of sugar syrup on production performance, egg quality and blood biochemical parameters in laying hens.

The effects of dietary inclusion of sugar syrup on quality of egg, cholesterol level, production performance, serum total protein and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated in laying hens. A total of 300 commercial Lohmann LSL hens (30 weeks of age) were randomly distributed into 3 dietary treatments which consisted of a normal corn diet containing corn-soy and 2 diets containing 5% and 10% sugar syrup. Each treatment was replicated 5 times ( = 20).

Graded levels of sugar syrup in broiler rations and its effect on growth performance and blood biochemical parameters.
