- - This study investigates the link between Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection and childhood brain tumors, with a focus on children in Egypt, revealing that 62.5% of those with brain tumors tested positive for the infection compared to 38% of healthy controls.
- - A strong association was found, suggesting that T. gondii infection could increase the risk of developing childhood brain tumors, particularly with an odds ratio of 2.7; consumption of unwashed vegetables was identified as a key risk factor.
- - The findings indicate that T. gondii infection should be further researched as a possible risk factor for childhood brain tumors and highlight the importance of controlling this infection for prevention and treatment efforts.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate, after a six-month healing period, the histological and histomorphometric results of mineralized bone allograft used in lateral sinus augmentation procedures.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one pneumatized maxillary sinuses with residual bone height ≤ 4 mm were grafted with a mixture of 1/1 cortical and cancellous mineralized bone allograft using lateral sinus floor elevation. Six months later, during implant placement, a core biopsy was retrieved for histological and histomorphometric evaluation.
Biochanin A (BCA) is a multifunctional natural compound that possesses anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and hepatoprotective effects. The aim of the study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of BCA on -infected mice. Fifty mice were divided into six different groups as non-infected, non-infected BCA-treated, infected untreated, early infected BCA-treated (seven days post-infection (dpi)), late infected BCA-treated 60 dpi and infected praziquantel (PZQ)-treated groups.

This study sought to estimate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and to investigate the relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and serum lipid levels in Moroccan patients with T2DM.
Methods: a total of 505 patients with T2DM were included in this cross-sectional study, 77.
