Introduction: Intermittent fasting (IF) has been reported to be involved in ameliorating oxidative stress and lessening the systemic-low grade inflammation that predisposes to chronic diseases. Gene polymorphism is currently a main determining factor for the metabolic responses to different dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Methods: The current study was designed to explore the effect of observing four-week, dawn to dusk IF by participants with obesity on gene expression of the anti-inflammatory , oxidative stress, and bioenergetics enzymes (, , and ), as well as metabolic and cellular regulatory genes ( and ).
Article Synopsis
- Modern patient care relies on improving pharmacy services, and AI could significantly enhance this evolution, yet there's limited knowledge about the views and practices of pharmacy students and faculty towards AI.
- This study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pharmacy students and faculty concerning AI across six Middle Eastern countries and identify factors influencing their understanding of AI in healthcare.
- Results showed that while most participants had heard of AI, only about 39.5% understood its concepts well, highlighting a moderate overall knowledge level, and although attitudes were positive regarding AI's potential benefits for patient care, there were concerns about job security and safety.
Hormone therapy (HT) is important and frequently used both regarding replacement therapy (HRT) and gender affirming therapy (GAHT). While HRT has been effective in addressing symptoms related to hormone shortage, several side effects have been described. In this context, there are some studies that show increased cardiovascular risk.

Method: This single-centre cohort study was conducted at the Kafrelshiekh University Hospital, Egypt, from January to June 2022, and included all patients of either gender who were hospitalised with severe infection with the coronavirus disease-2019 isolation ward. Chemiluminescence immunoassay method was used to measure levels of procalcitonin, ferritin, soluble interleukin-2 receptor, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10.
Coagulopathy, cytokine release, platelet hyperactivity and endothelial activation are regarded as potential major contributors to COVID-19 morbidity. Complement activation might provide a bridge linking these factors in severe COVID-19 illness. In this study, we investigated the prognostic significance of selected complement factors in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
