Feasibility and preliminary effects of the mindful healthy family project among rural families.

Background/purpose: Rural adults and children are at higher risk for overweight and obesity. However, there are relatively few lifestyle modification programs available for these high-risk families, mainly because of the difficulty in reaching them. This mindfulness-based motivational interviewing (MM-based-MI) pilot aimed to improve parents' healthy eating index (HEI), collective family efficacy, family satisfaction, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms as well as parent-child dyads' eating patterns, physical activity (PA), and body mass index (BMI).

Cultural Adaption and Validation of the Arabic Version of the CANHELP Lite Bereavement Questionnaire.

Bereavement, the experience of losing a loved one, significantly affects emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing. Assessing the quality of end-of-life care and the bereavement experiences of family members is crucial for improving healthcare services. The CANHELP Lite Bereavement Questionnaire, a validated tool for evaluating end-of-life care from bereaved family members' perspectives, needs cultural adaptation for non-English-speaking contexts.

While global studies have indicated a concerning lack of awareness regarding DKA among patients with diabetes, research specific to the northern area of Saudi Arabia remains limited. This study aims to explore the level of knowledge and awareness of DKA among patients with diabetes residing in the local region.

Evaluating the impact of dose monitoring software alerts on radiation dose reduction in computed tomography: A systematic review.

Introduction: Radiation Dose Monitoring Software (DMS) tools have been developed to monitor doses and alert computed tomography (CT) users of high radiation exposure. However, the causal factors for alerts and the impact of DMS in dose optimisation are poorly understood.

Aim: This review aims to identify high-dose CT examinations triggering alerts and their determinants, and to assess if the alerts from DMS help to reduce CT dose levels.

Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Tetracycline Adsorption: Experimental Insights and DFT Study.

An eco-friendly approach was used to fabricate zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using thyme, L., leaf extract. The produced ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD and SEM analysis.

Artificial intelligent fuzzy control and LAPO algorithm for enhancement LVRT and power quality of grid connected PV/wind hybrid systems.

Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) is considered one of the main and serious problems facing the electrical grid. It occurs due to three-phase symmetric faults and asymmetric faults such as a double line to ground fault that applies in this system. This paper applies Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM) to improve the LVRT capability and dynamic performance of an electrical grid linked to a Photovoltaic (PV)/Wind hybrid system through grid disturbances.

Cheminformatics-based design and biomedical applications of a new Hydroxyphenylcalix[4] resorcinarene as anti-cancer agent.

The distinct conformational characteristics, functionality, affordability, low toxicity, and usefulness make calixarene-based compounds a promising treatment option for cancer. The aim of the present study is to synthesize a new calixarene-based compound and assess of its anticancer potential on some human cancer cells. The synthesized C-4-Hydroxyphenylcalix[4] resorcinarene (HPCR) was characterized by several spectroscopic techniques such as 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and X-ray crystallographic analysis to confirm its purity and identity.

Family physicians' knowledge, beliefs, and practices in promoting healthy lifestyles and weight management for obese patients in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Obesity is one of the most prevalent and relevant health problems in Saudi Arabia and requires urgent attention. Family physicians are the first point of contact and one of the most important starting points for the successful treatment of being overweight or obese.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, beliefs, and practices of primary care physicians in promoting healthy lifestyles and physical activity among obese patients.

GC-MS Characterization and Bioactivity Study of Labill. (Myrtaceae) Essential Oils and Their Fractions: Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties and Molecular Docking Modeling.

Background/objectives: is a medicinal plant extensively used by the Moroccan population for treating a range of illnesses, especially respiratory conditions.

Methods: This study aimed to assess the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of essential oil and its individual fractions (F1, F2, and F3). Antioxidant activity was evaluated through iron-reducing power, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays.

Response of Patients with Color Vision Defects to Worth 4-Dot and Duochrome Tests.

Individuals with congenital color vision defects (CVDs) are at greater risk of misidentifying colors, necessitating an investigation into their ability to distinguish colors accurately. This study aimed to assess how individuals with CVDs perceive the colors in the Worth four-dot (W4D) and duochrome tests. It also explored whether individuals with CVDs require more detailed instructions from optometrists and eye care providers during these tests.
