. kernel ethanol extract inhibits cell viability and proliferation with induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in lung cancer cells.

In this study, we investigated the effects of an ethanolic extract of kernel on the viability and proliferation of human lung cancer cells. We utilized MTT and BrdU cell proliferation assays, morphological assessments, cell cycle analyses, and apoptosis assays to investigate the extract's effects on lung cancer (A549 and NCI-H292) and normal lung (MRC-5) cells. The extract demonstrated a toxicity toward cancer cells compared to normal cells with dose-dependent anti-proliferative effect on lung cancer cells.

Review of socioeconomic risk factors for cesarean births: a population-based study.

Objectives: The reasons for increased cesarean section (CS) rates are complex and multifactorial. The goal of this study was to look at different social and economic factors that might be causing more cases of CS in the population.

Study Design: A retrospective population-based cohort study.

Determinants of cervical spine disorders in military pilots: a systematic review.

Background: Neck pain and cervical spine disorders are widespread among military cockpit aircrew pilots and are often recognized as occupational stressors.

Aims: This systematic review aimed to identify significant determinants for military pilot neck pain and cervical spine disorders determined through multivariable logistic regression studies.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Statement of Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses [PRISMA]-P).

Socioeconomic risk factors for low birth weight newborns: A population-based study.

Unlabelled: Low birth weight (LBW) is an important indicator of maternal health and poverty. This study explored the socioeconomic factors associated with LBW.

Methods: Data was collected from a 4-year maternal-newborn registry.

Physicochemical characterization and cancer cell antiproliferative effect of silver-doped magnesia nanoparticles.

Silver-doped magnesia nanoparticles (Ag/MgO) were synthesized using the precipitation method and characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, and dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The morphology of Ag/MgO nanoparticles was determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, which revealed cuboidal shaped nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 31 to 68 nm and an average size of 43.5 ± 10.
