Current Stroke Solutions Using Artificial Intelligence: A Review of the Literature.

Introduction: In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool for enhancing stroke diagnosis, aiding treatment decision making, and improving overall patient care. Leading AI-driven platforms such as RapidAI, Brainomix, and Viz.ai have been developed to assist healthcare professionals in the swift and accurate assessment of stroke patients.

Pymetrozine induced remarkable hemato-biochemical modifications and genotoxicity in vital organs of bighead carp ().

Pymetrozine (a pyridine azomethine pesticide) is one of the most commonly and frequently used insecticides. Scanty information is available about the deleterious effects of Pymetrozine on fish especially bighead carp. Hence, the current study investigated chronic toxicological effects of pymetrozine in bighead carp.

A potential therapeutic role of resveratrol in mitigating hepatotoxicity induced by paracetamol and alcohol.

Background: Drug-induced hepatotoxicity, particularly from ethanol and acetaminophen (APAP), is a pressing global health challenge. This damage arises from oxidative stress and inflammation, manifesting as elevated liver enzymes and structural liver alterations. Resveratrol and silymarin, recognized for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, offer potential hepatoprotective benefits.

Timing of anticoagulation for patients with atrial fibrillation after acute ischemic stroke: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the setting of atrial fibrillation (Afib) will need to start/resume anticoagulation (AC) as it is the mainstay for secondary stroke prevention. Several studies have compared the safety and outcomes of starting/resuming AC in early or late start windows (ESW or LSW) but there is no consensus in clinical practice on the optimal timing of anticoagulation. This meta-analysis aims to compare the safety and outcome measures after resuming AC in the ESW versus LSW in patients with Afib after AIS.

Safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolytic therapy in the extended window up to 24 hours: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: About 25% of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) present within the intravenous thrombolytic (IVT) therapeutic window of <4.5 h. This study is to elucidate the safety and efficacy of IVT in the extended therapeutic window (ETW) in patients with AIS.

Role of autologous blood patch pleurodesis for management of prolonged pulmonary air leak: A systematic review.

Prolonged air leak (PAL) represents the most commonly encountered complication following pulmonary resection. This review aims to show the role of autologous blood pleurodesis (ABPP) in the management of PAL. A search was conducted on the Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for English-language articles until September 15, 2023, with titles containing the related phrase "autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP), and prolonged air leaks.

Targeting the PAC1 receptor mitigates degradation of myelin and synaptic markers and diminishes locomotor deficits in the cuprizone demyelination model.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with a strong neuroinflammatory component. Current treatments principally target the immune system but fail to preserve long-term myelin health and do not prevent neurological decline. Studies over the past two decades have shown that the structurally related neuropeptides VIP and PACAP (vasoactive intestinal peptide and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, respectively) exhibit pronounced anti-inflammatory activities and reduce clinical symptoms in MS disease models, largely via actions on their bivalent VIP receptor type 1 and 2.

Protective effect of citronellol in rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury in mice.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious pathophysiological event consequent to rhabdomyolysis. Inflammatory mechanisms play a role in the development of rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI. Citronellol (CT) is a naturally occurring monoterpene in essential oils of aromatic plant species.

Conservation of the Goitered gazelle () under climate changes in Iraq.

Climate is a vital factor that shapes habitat suitability for many species across space and time. (Goitered gazelle) is a globally vulnerable mammal already extinct in some areas of Armenia and Georgia and is highly threatened in other areas of its distribution. In this study, new data were gathered for 33 locations in north-eastern Iraq, and then together with literature data, Species Distribution Models (SDMs) were used to explore the geographical distribution of the gazelle under current and future climate change scenarios.

Acetochlor Affects Bighead Carp () by Producing Oxidative Stress, Lowering Tissue Proteins, and Inducing Genotoxicity.

Acetochlor is persistently used in the agroproduction sector to control broadleaf weeds. Due to frequent and continuous applications, this herbicide can reach nearby water bodies and may induce deleterious changes in aquatic life. Therefore, investigation of harmful impacts of different environmental pollutants, including herbicides, is vital to knowing the mechanisms of toxicity and devising control strategies.

Atomistic and machine learning studies of solute segregation in metastable grain boundaries.

The interaction of alloying elements with grain boundaries (GBs) influences many phenomena, such as microstructural evolution and transport. While GB solute segregation has been the subject of active research in recent years, most studies focus on ground-state GB structures, i.e.

Monitoring of three-phase variations in the mortality of COVID-19 pandemic using control charts: where does Pakistan stand?

Background: At the end of December 2019, the world in general and Wuhan, the industrial hub of China, in particular, experienced the COVID-19 pandemic. Massive increment of cases and deaths occurred in China and 209 countries in Europe, America, Australia, Asia and Pakistan. Pakistan was first hit by COVID-19 when a case was reported in Karachi on 26 February 2020.

The role of grain boundary character in solute segregation and thermal stability of nanocrystalline Pt-Au.

Nanocrystalline (NC) metals suffer from an intrinsic thermal instability; their crystalline grains undergo rapid coarsening during processing treatments or under service conditions. Grain boundary (GB) solute segregation has been proposed to mitigate grain growth and thermally stabilize the grain structures of NC metals. However, the role of GB character in solute segregation and thermal stability of NC metals remains poorly understood.

Vitamin D Status and Its Associated Risk Factors among Adults in the Southwest Region of Cameroon.

Background: Vitamin D has been shown to exert its actions on the musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, prostate, renal, endocrine, immune, and cardiovascular systems. Current reported data of hypovitaminosis D reveals a global pandemic, with an estimated one billion people worldwide presenting with hypovitaminosis D.

Objective: This study aimed at investigating the vitamin D status and its associated risk factors in Cameroonians from the South West Region.

Introduction: Elderly patients with diabetes are at a high risk of contracting diabetic foot problems. Self-efficacy is essential to help improve foot care behaviour.

Aim: To identify levels of self-efficacy and foot care behaviour and their relationship with demographic characteristics in elderly patients with diabetes.

Nosocomial diarrhoea in relation to sanitation state: a study in Tikrit, Iraq.

A cross-sectional hospital-based study of 259 children aged < 5 years was carried out in Tikrit, Iraq, to identify the prevalence of nosocomial diarrhoea and sources of contamination in the ward environment. Nosocomial diarrhoea was diagnosed in 84 children (32.4%).

Prevalence and etiology of nosocomial diarrhoea in children < 5 years in Tikrit teaching hospital.

A cross-sectional hospital-based study was carried out at Tikrit teaching hospital, Iraq, from October 2004 to September 2005, to identify the prevalence and etiology of nosocomial infectious diarrhoea among children under 5 years of age.
