The next generation of physician-researchers: undergraduate medical students' and residents' attitudes, challenges, and approaches towards addressing them.

Background: Undergraduate medical education and residency training are critical periods for conducting research. Medical diagnoses and therapies are direct results of successful research efforts that have advanced several scientific fields. This review highlights the importance of incorporating scientific research training into the curricula of undergraduate medical education and residency programs.

Superior Anti-arrhythmogenic Effect of Combined Conditioning with Nicotinamide Mononucleotide and Ubiquinol in Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Aged Rats.

Purpose: Lethal ventricular arrhythmias are a significant clinical concern following reperfusion therapies in elderly patients with myocardial infarction. The combination of multi-target therapies to achieve optimal anti-arrhythmogenesis and improve the chances of successful translation for patient benefit has prompted considerable interest. This study examined the anti-arrhythmic effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN)/ubiquinol combination treatment following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in aged rats, with an emphasis on the role of oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO).

Effect of Eucalyptus globulus and Ferula assafoetida essential oils and their nanoformulations on the life table parameters of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae).

One of the most damaging pests of agricultural crops across the globe is the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. A wide variety of arthropods and plant pathogens can be controlled by essential oils, which are secondary metabolites produced by plants. It is possible to enhance the stability as well as the anti-pest efficiency of plant essential oils by encapsulation.

Cardioprotective effect of antioxidant combination therapy: A highlight on MitoQ plus alpha-lipoic acid beneficial impact on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in aged rats.

Objective: (s): Considering the poor prognosis of ischemic heart disease and the diminished effectiveness of cardioprotective interventions in the elderly, it becomes necessary to investigate the interaction of aging with protection during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). This study was conducted to assess the impact of mitoquinone (MitoQ) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) preconditioning on cardioprotection following IRI in aged rats.

Methods: Fifty aged male Wistar rats (22-24 months old) were divided into five groups including Sham, IR, and treatment groups receiving ALA and/or MitoQ.

Impact of combined alpha-lipoic acid and mitoquinone supplementation on myocardial infarction in aged rats: Heart performance and molecular mechanisms.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of combined alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and mitoquinone (Mito Q) supplementation on cardiac function and the underlying mechanisms in aged rats with myocardial infarction (MI).

Methods: The aged rats underwent left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 24 h. ALA (100 mg/kg, gavage) and Mito Q (10 mg/kg, IP) were administered daily for two weeks before ischemia.
