Effects of acute exposure to AlO-NPs (α and γ) and white noise and their combination on cochlea structure and function in Wistar rats.

Hearing loss induced by noise and combinations of factors is a common occupational disease among workers. This study aimed to investigate the impact of acute exposure to white noise and AlO NPs, alone and in combination, on changes in the hearing and structural functions of the cochlea in rats. Thirty-six rats were randomly assigned to one of six groups: Control, acute exposure to white noise, exposure to γ-AlO NPs, exposure to noise plus γ-AlO NPs, exposure to α-AlO NPs, and exposure to the combination of noise plus α-AlO NPs.

Toxicity of Hydrogen Sulfide on Rat Brain Neurons.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a toxic compound known as a member of the gasotransmitter family. HS has the ability to inhibit the cytochrome c oxidase enzyme in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Mitochondria play an important role in energy production and the brain needs energy for normal function.

Reducing the risk of death induced by aluminum phosphide poisoning: The new therapies.

Numerous people suffer from accidental or deliberate exposure to different pesticides when poisoning with aluminum phosphate (AlP) is increasing in the eastern countries. Aluminum phosphate is a conventional insecticide that quickly reacts with water or the moistures in the atmosphere and produces fatal phosphine gas, which absorbs quickly by the body. Oral consumption or inhalation of AlP leads to excessive reaction of the body such as fatigue, vomiting, fever, palpitation, vasodilatory shock, increasing blood pressure, cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary congestion, shortness of breath, and death.

Effectiveness of Tendon and Nerve Gliding Exercises in the Treatment of Patients With Mild Idiopathic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: There is limited evidence regarding the efficacy of different treatment options in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of nerve and tendon gliding exercises in the treatment of patients with mild CTS.

Methods: The current prospective, randomized trial with pretest-posttest design was conducted on 80 patients with mild CTS randomly assigned to 2 groups.
