Comparison of Kettlebell and Cycling Exercise on Heart Rate Variability.

Background: Kettlebells, dating back to 1703 in Russia, offer a full-body workout for strength, endurance, and flexibility. They activate back and hip musculature, reduce low back injury risk, and improve postural coordination. Cycling induces muscle hypertrophy, guiding exercise prescription.

Herbal Interventions for Obesity: A Review of Unani Medicinal Herbs.

World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity and overweight as excessive or aberrant fat accumulation that poses an increased health risk. Despite this oversimplified definition, obesity is a complex illness caused by a persistently positive energy balance, or when dietary energy intake surpasses energy expenditure. Extra energy is transformed into triglycerides, which are then stored in depots of adipose tissue that enlarge, resulting in weight gain and an increase in body fat.

Outcomes, Symptomatology, and Mortality of Children Presenting With Bacterial Meningitis at Allied Hospitals of Rawalpindi Medical University, Pakistan: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction Bacterial meningitis (BM) is a neurologic emergency mainly affecting children under the age of two. Clinical symptoms are rarely evident in children, thus making a diagnosis is a challenge. Antibiotic therapy should be started timely to ensure the avoidance of significant morbidity and mortality.

Neonatal Testicular Torsion with Hydrocele: A Case Report Underscoring the Need for Early Recognition and Management.

Neonatal testicular torsion (NTT) is a rare but significant condition occurring within the first 30-day postbirth, leading to vascular compromise and potential testicular loss. This paper presents a case of NTT detected incidentally in a neonate with bilateral hydrocele, emphasizing the challenge of early diagnosis and management complexities. The infant underwent surgical intervention involving detorsion and bilateral orchiopexy but eventually required right orchiectomy due to necrosis.

A transferable prediction model of molecular adsorption on metals based on adsorbate and substrate properties.

Surface adsorption is one of the fundamental processes in numerous fields, including catalysis, the environment, energy and medicine. The development of an adsorption model which provides an effective prediction of binding energy in minutes has been a long term goal in surface and interface science. The solution has been elusive as identifying the intrinsic determinants of the adsorption energy for various compositions, structures and environments is non-trivial.

Corrosion Protection through Naturally Occurring Films: New Insights from Iron Carbonate.

Despite intensive study over many years, the chemistry and physics of the atomic level mechanisms that govern corrosion are not fully understood. In particular, the occurrence and severity of highly localized metal degradation cannot currently be predicted and often cannot be rationalized in failure analysis. We report a first-principles model of the nature of protective iron carbonate films coupled with a detailed chemical and physical characterization of such a film in a carefully controlled environment.

Ilaj bil hijamah (cupping therapy) in the Unani system of medicine: anecdotal practice to evidence based therapy.

Background: Cupping (Hijamah) therapy is very well documented as a result of several thousand years of clinical experiences in Unani medicine. In this procedure, suction is created by various means either with or without bloodletting. Though this therapy is being widely practiced across the globe for treating many chronic and intractable ailments but many reports reveal its unscientific and improper practices which results in many complications.
