Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a rare, slow-growing, and typically benign brain tumor that predominantly affects children. CPP is characterized by well-defined circular or lobulated masses in the ventricles, leading to symptoms related to increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus. CPP diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical presentation, imaging findings, and histological examination.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on NAFLD treatment in an animal model.
Methods: Male Wistar rats were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to induce NAFLD for 7 weeks.
Background: In hepatic damage, Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) become active, proliferate, and change to myofibroblasts. Increasing the fibrogenic genes, such as Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (α-SMA), and Collagen1 α (COL 1α) show that the activation of HSCs can lead to hepatic fibrosis.
Purpose: These days people consume much cholesterol, palmitic acid, and glucose which can have adverse effects on an individuals' health, but their influences on activating human HSCs and inducing liver fibrosis have not been assessed.
Purpose: To evaluate the magnitudes and axis orientation of anterior corneal astigmatism (ACA) and posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA), the ratio of ACA to PCA, and the correlation between ACA and PCA in the different stages of keratoconus (KCN).
Methods: This retrospective case series comprised 161 eyes of 161 patients with KCN (104 men, 57 women; mean age, 22.35 ± 6.
