Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is among the main causes of poisoning-related mortality and morbidity, primarily affecting the central nervous system and leading to delayed neurological sequelae. Idebenone exerts antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the specific neuroprotective effects of idebenone against CO poisoning.

Method: In this study, 40 male Wistar Albino rats were divided into six groups: healthy control (HC), methotrexate (MTX, 0.3 mg/kg/d for 7 d), methotrexate + methanol (MTX-M, 0.
Introduction: The evolving landscape of general practice (GP)/family medicine (FM) in the post-COVID-19 era, focussing on integrating telemedicine and remote consultations requires a new definition for this specialty. Hence, a broader consensus-based definition of post-COVID-19 GP/FM is warranted.
Methods: This study involved a modified electronic Delphi technique involving 27 specialists working in primary care recruited via convenient and snowball sampling.
Study Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of high and low-intensity expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on disease severity, systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, symptoms, daytime sleepiness, fatigue severity, and sleep quality in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
Methods: Thirty-one male patients diagnosed with moderate OSAS were included in this double-blind, randomized, parallel study. Patients were randomized into two groups: High-EMST and Low-EMST groups.
