Monkeypox (Mpox) vs. Innate immune responses: Insights into evasion mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.

Orthopoxviruses, a group of zoonotic viral infections, have emerged as a significant health emergency and global concern, particularly exemplified by the re-emergence of monkeypox (Mpox). Effectively addressing these viral infections necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between the viruses and the host's immune response. In this review, we aim to elucidate the multifaceted aspects of innate immunity in the context of orthopoxviruses, with a specific focus on monkeypox virus (MPXV).

Impact of virtual education based on health belief model on cervical cancer screening behavior in middle-aged women: A quasi-experimental study.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide and a cause of high mortality among people. Pap smear screening is an appropriate method to prevent cervical cancer and reduce its mortality.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of web-based education based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on cervical cancer screening behavior in middle-aged women.

Alpha-pinene exerts neuroprotective effects via anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a severe neurological disorder that affected millions of people worldwide. Neuro-inflammation and apoptosis play an essential role in the pathogenesis of neuronal death during ischemic stroke. Alpha-pinene is a bicyclic terpenoid with anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities.

Attenuating effect of α-pinene on neurobehavioural deficit, oxidative damage and inflammatory response following focal ischaemic stroke in rat.

Objectives: Oxidative stress and inflammation have a critical role in the pathogenesis of ischaemic stroke. Alpha-pinene is a monoterpenoid molecule with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The nobility of the present study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of α-pinene in ischaemic stroke.
