The objective of the present study was to develop a novel molybdenum disulfide/iron oxide/gold nanorods (MoS/FeO/GNR) nanocomposite (MFG) with different concentrations of AgNO solution (MFG1, MFG2, and MFG3) for topical doxorubicin (DOX) drug delivery. Then, these nanocomposites were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopies to confirm their structural and optical properties. Cytotoxicity of samples on Hela cell was determined using MTT assay.

Methods: A comprehensive search in March 2023 across Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SID, IranMedex, and IranDoc, enhanced by hand-searching references and Google Scholar, identified cross-sectional studies on cognitive screening in Iranian seniors. We assessed diagnostic accuracy, cognitive domains, and test strengths and weaknesses.
Background: Psychosocial stressors contribute to the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and exacerbate the symptoms. The capability to cope with stress is an essential element in the management of IBS. This study assessed nine cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) and their role in predicting symptom severity, quality of life (QOL), and resilience in IBS subjects.

However, its success is set back by the lack of large-scale public datasets. Indeed, medical institutions possess a large amount of data; however, open-sourcing is prevented by the legal requirements to protect the patient's privacy.
