This study investigated the potential of the indirubin-3'-oxime (I3O) compound to mitigate temperature-induced male infertility in . Elevated temperatures significantly reduced egg-hatching rates, but I3O supplementation improved these rates, suggesting it can partially restore fertility under heat stress. Additionally, I3O was found to inhibit soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which are vital for reproductive health.

Background: Awake prone positioning (APP) may be beneficial in patients with respiratory failure who are not receiving mechanical ventilation. Randomized controlled trials of APP have been performed during peak COVID-19 periods in unvaccinated populations, with limited data on compliance or patient acceptability. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of APP in a lower-middle income country in an open-label randomized controlled trial using a dedicated APP implementation team and wearable continuous-monitoring devices.

, a widely cultivated herbaceous plant in Asian countries, exhibits diverse medicinal applications. Recent studies emphasize its pharmacological properties and efficacy in promoting bone health. In addition to the known compounds and their pharmacological activities, in this study, we isolated and elucidated two new labdane-type diterpenoids, (3,5,6,10)-3,6-dihydroxy-15-ethoxy-7-oxolabden-8(9),13(14)-dien-15,16-olide (1: ) and (4,5,10)-18-hydroxy-14,15-bisnorlabda-8-en-7,13-dione (2: ), a new natural phenolic compound, and a known compound from using advanced spectroscopic techniques, including circular dichroism spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and 1- and 2-dimensional NMR.
