A Canvas of Contemporary Insights into Clinical Vitiligo.

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by the loss of melanocytes, resulting in white patches on the skin. While its exact cause is unknown, it's believed to be an autoimmune disorder involving genetic, environmental, and immunologic factors. Various treatments, including topical drugs, phototherapy, and surgery, exist, but further research is needed for more targeted therapies.

Up-regulation of HOXA-AS2 and MEG3 long non-coding RNAs acts as a potential peripheral biomarker for bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric condition that is frequently misdiagnosed and linked to inadequate treatment. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have lately gained recognition as crucial genetic elements and are now regarded as regulatory mechanisms in the neurological system. Our objective was to measure the quantities of HOXA-AS2 and MEG3 ncRNA transcripts.

Association between genetic variants (rs2839698, and rs217727) in and Acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility: a case-control study in the Iranian population.

Leukemia is a cancer affecting the hematopoietic system with an unclear pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest a correlation between several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and leukemia development. This study focuses on the potential link between (rs2839698 and rs217727) polymorphisms and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) susceptibility.

Supplementation of Plant-Based Freezing Extender With Cysteamine Preserves Quality Parameters and Fertility Potential of Buck Sperm During Cryopreservation Process.

Sperm cryopreservation in small ruminant is an efficient strategy to distribute spermatozoa for reproductive programmes, but this process reduces the fertility potential of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. The aim of the current research was to evaluate the impact of different concentrations of cysteamine (CYS) in soybean lecithin (SL)-based medium on postthawed buck semen quality and fertility potential. Semen samples were collected from five bucks, twice a week, then diluted in the SL-based extender containing different concentrations of CYS as follows: extender containing 0 mM (control, C0), 1 mM (C1), 2 mM (C2), 4 mM (C4) and 8 mM (C8) CYS.

LNAPL recovery model as a tool for detecting live oil leaks into the groundwater in a complicated site.

This research focuses on an Iranian industrial area with a long history of oil contamination where oil spills occurred over time. Multiple techniques were utilized to determine the contamination source, including chemical, hydrogeological, and geological methods. The results indicated that the main reason for the leak was the rupture of several underground oil pipelines.

Evaluation of the COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness on the outcomes of COVID 19 disease in Iran: a test-negative case-control study.

Introduction: This study measures the COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (CVE) against hospital admission and severe COVID-19.

Methods: This study is a test-negative case-control design using data from eight provinces in April, 2021 until March, 2022. The individuals were classified as cases and controls based on the results of the RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 and matched based on the timing of the test being conducted as well as the timing of hospital admission.

Association between Mir-499, Mir-27a, and Mir-146a polymorphisms and their susceptibility to recurrent spontaneous abortion; analysis.

Objective: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is defined as two or more pregnancy losses before 24 gestational weeks, accounting for 1-3% of fertile couples. A vast majority of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in some () genes can change the miRNA-mRNA interaction and are associated with the risk of RSA. This study was designed to better elucidate the association between miR-27a, miR-499, and miR-146a polymorphisms and RSA risk.

Sexually dimorphic computational histopathological signatures prognostic of overall survival in high-grade gliomas via deep learning.

High-grade glioma (HGG) is an aggressive brain tumor. Sex is an important factor that differentially affects survival outcomes in HGG. We used an end-to-end deep learning approach on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) scans to (i) identify sex-specific histopathological attributes of the tumor microenvironment (TME), and (ii) create sex-specific risk profiles to prognosticate overall survival.

Parent of origin genetic effects on milk production traits in a population of Iranian Holstein cows.

The aim was to estimate the relative contribution of imprinting effects from both paternal and maternal sides to phenotypic variation in milk production traits including 305 days milk yield (MY), average daily milk production (ADM), fat percentage (F%), protein percentage (P%), 305 days fat yield (FY), 305 days protein yield (PY), ratio of fat percentage to protein percentage (F:P) and somatic cell score (SCS) in Iranian Holstein cows. To do this, each trait was analysed with a series of four animal models, which were identical for fixed and additive genetic effects but differed for combinations of paternal and maternal imprinting effects. The log-likelihood ratio test (LRT) and Akaike's information criteria (AIC) were used to select the best model for each trait.

Increased level of GATA3-AS1 long non-coding RNA is correlated with the upregulation of GATA3 and IL-4 genes in multiple sclerosis patients.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play various roles in gene regulation. GATA3 antisense RNA 1 (GATA3-AS1) is an lncRNA gene neighboring GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3). The current study aims to quantitatively compare the levels of the expression of GATA3-AS1, GATA3, and Interleukin-4 (IL-4) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) samples of MS patients and healthy individuals under the hypothesis of regulation of GATA3 and IL-4 expression orchestrated by GATA3-AS1.

The Interval Between External Ventricular Drain (EVD) Implantation and Time to Mobilization in Patients at the Neurosurgery ICU.

Aim: To describe the time between external ventricular drain (EVD) implantation and mobilization in neurosurgery intensive care unit (ICU) patients with EVDs. Due to increased intracranial pressure, neurosurgery patients with external ventricular drain (EVD) who are admitted to the ICU frequently remain at rest, resulting in prolonged ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), mechanical ventilator (MV) duration, and other adverse effects.

Material And Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 131 neurosurgery patients admitted to the ICU with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who underwent EVD.
