Edaravone's reno-protective effects against chronic heat-stress exposure.

Edaravone (EDV) is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. It is used to treat various diseases, especially neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to examine EDV's potential renal protective effects on kidney injury induced by heat stress in rats.

Depression Among the Caregivers of Breast Cancer Patients and its Association with the Quality of Life.

Introduction: This study investigated the prevalence of depression among the Jordanian caregivers of patients with breast cancer and its effect on their health-related quality of life (QOL).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a sample that consisted of 122 caregivers recruited from 2 hospitals in Jordan over 5 months. A validated questionnaire was used to assess the prevalence of depression symptoms and the aspects of QOL among the participants using Beck's Depression Inventory-II score and the 36-Item Survey Form (SF-36) score.

Mutations of SARS-CoV-2 and their impact on disease diagnosis and severity.

Numerous variations of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), including D614G, B.1.1.

The Protective Role of L-carnitine on Psychosocial Stress-induced Changes in Gene Expression and Protein Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinases, Serum Corticosterone in a Rat Model.

Background: Psychosocial stress (STS) is a common stress in modern societies. Chronic STS is associated with the impairment of a broad range of cognitive functions in humans and with prolonged abnormalities in memory. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a protein family of zinccontaining endopeptidases, are essential in neuro-inflammation and involved in neurodegenerative diseases.

Prevalence of Depression and the Quality-of-Life of Breast Cancer Patients in Jordan.

Objective: The objectives of the current study are to evaluate the prevalence of depression symptoms among breast cancer patients in Jordan and impact of the disease on patient's quality-of-life.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted over a 6-month period among breast cancer patients attending two major hospitals in Jordan. A validated questionnaire was used to evaluate the prevalence of depression symptoms and quality-of-life aspects among those patients utilizing Beck's Depression Inventory-II score and 36-Item Survey Form (SF-36) score, respectively.

Memory Impairment Induced by Chronic Psychosocial Stress Is Prevented by L-Carnitine.

Introduction: Psychosocial stress (STS) negatively influences memory. This might be associated to oxidative stress-induced progressive destruction of numerous brain structures and functions. L-carnitine (L-CAR) is a widely used antioxidant compound that is endogenously made in mammalian species.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Prevent Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder-Induced Memory Impairment.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can happen after exposure to a traumatic event. Post-traumatic stress disorder is common among mental health disorders that include mood and anxiety disorders. Omega-3 fatty acids (OMGs) are essential for the maintenance of brain function and prevention of cognition dysfunctions.
