Evaluation of sectional anatomic, micro-computed tomographic, and magnetic resonance imaging features of the thorax in Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).

Clinically, the rodent thorax is important because of the variety of problems that may affect the heart, lungs, and other thoracic structures. Syrian hamsters are the most common pet and experimental hamster species. Sectional imaging of small mammals is widely increasing in use for clinical and research settings; however, no reports on the thoracic sectional imaging anatomy in this species have been made.

Investigation of alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity of Artabotrys sumatranus leaf extract using metabolomics, machine learning and molecular docking analysis.

One way to treat diabetes mellitus type II is by using α-glucosidase inhibitor, that will slow down the postprandial glucose intake. Metabolomics analysis of Artabotrys sumatranus leaf extract was used in this research to predict the active compounds as α-glucosidase inhibitors from this extract. Both multivariate statistical analysis and machine learning approaches were used to improve the confidence of the predictions.

Gallstones increase the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver: A case-control study.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and gallstones are generally seen together, and many of the risk factors for fatty liver and gallstones are common and similar. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between NAFLD and gallstones.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted in patients referred to Imam Khomeini and Golestan hospitals of Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences in 2023, whose ultrasound showed fatty liver.

Factors Affecting Level of Physical Activity among Stroke Survivors: A Scoping Review.

Physical activity (PA) is crucial for improving stroke survivors' health outcomes and quality of life (QoL). Impaired PA levels are common among stroke survivors, a significant portion of whom spend their days in sedentary occupations. Understanding the factors that influence physical inactivity and addressing the barriers to exercise participation can contribute significantly to improving stroke survivors' health outcomes and prognoses.
