Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most prevalent preventable cause of mental retardation and intellectual disability in newborns. Genetic and environmental factors have been related to congenital hypothyroidism. Hence, this study was conducted to illustrate the incidence and spatial distribution of the CH using the dataset from the national newborn CH screening information system during 2011-2020in counties affiliated to the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad University of Medical Sciences.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the green ionic liquid [C₄mim][PF₆] mixed with polar benzonitrile (BNZ) solvent provides detailed insights into their structural and dynamic properties, essential for electrochemistry and materials science applications. The simulations we carried out at varying mole fractions (X) reveal the mixtures' physical, structural, and dynamic properties, with radial, spatial, and combined distribution functions, highlighting the effective interaction through H-bonding involved. The simulation indicates that BZN stacks on the cation butyl tail, providing a significant explanation for the unique experimental observations (following).

Background: Snails of the Lymnaeidae family are the intermediate hosts of Fasciola species, the causative agents of fascioliasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of Fasciola species in lymnaeid snails and to investigate the association of geoclimatic factors and Fasciola species distribution in northwestern provinces of Iran using geographical information system (GIS) data.

Methods: A total of 2000 lymnaeid snails were collected from 33 permanent and seasonal habitats in northwestern Iran during the period from June to November 2021.

The multifaceted influence of combined variables on the mechanical-magnetorheological properties of isotropic and anisotropic MREs in a shear state is probed in this research. Specifically, the effects of preparation magnetic field, magnetic field intensity during rheometric testing, temperature, shear strain, angular frequency, and angle of structural matrix chains were examined. The viscoelastic properties of seven distinct MREs prepared in different pre-configuration settings were analysed by subjecting them to dynamic shear-rotational deformation at different temperatures and magnetic fields.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a significant health issue in Bam County, Iran, which is heavily affected by environmental factors; this study explores how these factors influence the disease's distribution.
  • The research analyzed data from 847 CL patients and identified key demographic trends, including a higher prevalence in younger age groups and urban settings, while confirming 66 impacted villages out of 561 surveyed.
  • Results highlighted that urban areas, agricultural land, and certain temperature ranges increased CL risk, whereas higher altitude and other climatic conditions showed a negative correlation with the disease's occurrence.
