Olfactory Dysfunction following COVID-19 and the Potential Benefits of Olfactory Training.

Unlabelled: COVID-19 is associated with a common symptom of olfactory dysfunction, which may persist even after the infection is resolved. Olfactory training (OT) has emerged as the most effective intervention for post-viral olfactory dysfunction. OT involves daily exposure of the olfactory system to various odors.

Mechanistic Insights into the Ameliorative Effect of Cichoriin on Diabetic Rats-Assisted with an In Silico Approach.

Unlabelled: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is considered to be a substantial socioeconomic burden worldwide on both patients and governments. Coumarins are biomolecules with a diversity of biological activities. The current investigation aimed to explore the ameliorative effects of cichoriin, which is a type of coumarin, on high-fat diet/streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Cichoriin, a Biocoumarin, Mitigates Oxidative Stress and Associated Adverse Dysfunctions on High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Rats.

Metabolic dysfunctions linked to obesity carry the risk of co-morbidities such as diabetes, hepatorenal, and cardiovascular diseases. Coumarins are believed to display several biological effects on diverse adverse health conditions. This study was conducted to uncover the impact of cichoriin on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats.

Comparison of clinical features and surgical outcomes between hypopnea- and apnea-predominant obstructive sleep apnea.

Objectives: This study is aimed to investigate the differences in the clinical features and surgical outcomes between hypopnea- and apnea-predominant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Design: Cohort study.

Setting: Single tertiary care centre.

L. var. Leaf Extract Alleviates Gentamicin-Induced Hepatorenal Injury in Rats-Possible Modulation of IL-1β and NF-κB Activity Assisted with Computational Approach.

Background: Recently, crop byproducts are considered a hot topic and can be converted into beneficial products. Cauliflower is well-known for its protective effects against oxidative stress-induced damage. The current study aimed to investigate the chemical profile and the ameliorative effects of cauliflower leaf extract (CL) on gentamicin-induced renal and hepatic injuries in rats.

Voice Disorders Among Teachers in Al-Ahsa, Eastern Region, KSA: Vocal Complaints, Treatment-Seeking Behaviors, and Knowledge of Vocal Care.

Background: Voice disorders are a serious and common complaint among teachers, yet there are no published studies on these conditions in the context of Al-Ahsa city in the eastern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study analyzed the vocal complaints of Saudi teachers, investigated their treatment-seeking behaviors, and assessed their knowledge of vocal care.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was randomly distributed to 604 Saudi teachers from December 2021 to March 2022.

Indications and complications for surgical management of thyroid diseases: A single center experience.

Background: Thyroid disorders are one of the most common endocrine disorders. Thyroid disorders are highly prevalent in the Saudi population. There are many approaches to treat thyroid disorders, varying from conservative to surgical, depending on the severity of each condition.
