A Global Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Giardia duodenalis in Rabbits: Epidemiology, Genetic Diversity and Possible Zoonotic Concerns.

Background: Giardia duodenalis is a pathogenic protozoan responsible for gastrointestinal infections in various hosts, including rabbits. Understanding its epidemiology, genetic diversity and zoonotic implications is vital for public health and veterinary medicine. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize global data on the prevalence of G.

Multimodal response-predictor analysis for three non-invasive brain stimulation protocols.

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods such as paired associative stimulation (PAS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) are used to modulate cortical excitability and reduce symptoms in a variety of psychiatric disorders. Recent studies have shown significant inter-individual variability in the physiological response to these techniques when they are applied over the hand representation of primary motor cortex (M1). The goal of the present study was to identify neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, and neurochemical baseline characteristics that may predict response to commonly used NIBS protocols using data from a previously published study (Therrien-Blanchet et al.

Management and outcomes of pediatric optic neuritis in a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: a retrospective study.

Background: Although pediatric optic neuritis (PON) is a rare condition, current advancements in its diagnosis, investigation, and treatment suggest that a more precise risk assessment is necessary given the history of irreversible damage and functional degeneration of the optic nerve. Additionally, after further investigations and/or new neurological events, the initial diagnosis is revised.

Aim: To report clinical profile, management and outcome of different demyelinating disease phenotypes of pediatric optic neuritis (PON) in individuals under the age of 18 years in a tertiary center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Relationship Between Personality Traits and Perceived Pain After Photorefractive Keratectomy: A Cross-Sectional Study in Hamadan.

Background: Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a common procedure to correct refractive errors. However, postoperative pain is one of the most common drawbacks of PRK. Evidence shows that individual`s personality traits could impact postoperative perceived pain.

The global prevalence of microsporidia infection in rabbits as a neglected public health concern: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Microsporidia are intracellular parasites with significant impact on both animal and human health. The prevalence of microsporidia infections in rabbits, including the genera Enterocytozoon and Encephalitozoon, underscores the importance of understanding their epidemiology for effective control strategies. This systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the global prevalence of microsporidia infection in rabbits using five databases (Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) to retrieve articles published between 03 December 2003 and 26 March 2023.
