Background: Labor induction is a common obstetric intervention, increasingly performed worldwide, often using prostaglandins like misoprostol and dinoprostone.
Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of intravaginal misoprostol versus dinoprostone for inducing labor, examining their impact on various maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using four databases-PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library-from January 2000 to April 2023.
Laser ablation was used to successfully fabricate multiferroic bilayer thin films, composed of BaTiO (BTO) and CoFeO (CFO), on highly doped (100) Si substrates. This study investigates the influence of BaTiO layer thickness (50-220 nm) on the films' structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties. The dense, polycrystalline films exhibited a tetragonal BaTiO phase and a cubic spinel CoFeO layer.

Methods: A search of Medline and Cochrane up to February 2023 was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing patients undergoing early CAG vs.
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects millions worldwide, presenting challenges in managing symptoms and quality of life. Current treatments include topical corticosteroids (TCS), but novel approaches, such as Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, show promise. Baricitinib, a selective JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, targets cytokines involved in AD and offers potential benefits beyond traditional therapies.

- - Cardiac transplantation in the MENA region has improved since its beginnings in 1967, with advancements in surgical techniques and patient care, but still faces unique challenges due to cultural, economic, and infrastructural factors.
- - Research shows that countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Lebanon have established cardiac transplant programs, and new technologies like ex-vivo perfusion are enhancing outcomes, yet issues such as organ shortages and varying healthcare resources remain significant obstacles.
- - To boost cardiac transplantation rates, there's a need for better public awareness, consistent healthcare protocols, and development of regional networks, along with innovations in immunosuppressive therapies and organ preservation techniques.
