Investigating the Potential of Ufasomes Laden with Nintedanib as an Optimized Targeted Lung Nanoparadigm for Accentuated Tackling of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a prevalent interstitial lung disease that typically progresses gradually, leading to respiratory failure and ultimately death. IPF can be treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, nintedanib (NTD), owing to its anti-fibrotic properties, which ameliorate the impairment of lung function. This study aimed to formulate, optimize, and assess NTD-loaded ufasomes (NTD-UFSs) as a nanosystem for its pulmonary targeting to snowball the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of the drug.

Unsupervised tooth segmentation from three dimensional scans of the dental arch using domain adaptation of synthetic data.

Background: The automated segmentation of individual teeth from 3D models of the human dental arch is challenging due to variations in tooth alignment, arch form and overall maxillofacial anatomy. Domain adaptation is a specialised technique in deep learning which allows models to adapt to data from different domains, such as varying tooth and dental arch forms, without requiring human annotations.

Purpose: This study aimed to segment individual teeth from various dental arch morphologies in 3D intraoral scans using domain adaptation.

Farmer's traditional practices in milk and milk products handling in selected districts of North Wollo, Ethiopia.

Dairy production is practiced almost all over Ethiopia. Milk and milk products play an important role in human nutrition throughout the country but the quality of milk produced in Ethiopia is poor and below the standard due to poor pre-milking and postharvest handling practices. The study was carried out from October 2022 to May 2023 with the objective of assessing and document the traditional practices of farmer's milk and milk products handling in selected districts of north Wollo, Ethiopia.

ABCC8 polymorphisms rs757110 and rs1801261 association with sulfonylurea therapy of Iraqi type 2 diabetics.

Objective: Aim: Our study aimed to investigate the connection between the ABCC8 gene polymorphisms (rs1801261 and rs757110) and T2DM in the Iraqi Middle Euphrates region. Patients with type 2 diabetes were chosen because they were treated with glibenclamide and glimepiride.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The groups of this case-control study are the control group obviously healthy persons included 400 (235 Male/165 Female) and 400 T2DM group (213 Male/ 187 Female).

Unveiling the Synergy of Serum Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 and PLA2G7 Gene Polymorphism (rs1805017) as Key Determinants of Coronary Artery Disease Risk and Severity: Implications for Early Intervention.

Background Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a key enzyme selectively expressed in unstable, rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques. Previous research has established a strong link between the gene and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). While traditional risk factors like cholesterol levels and blood pressure are valuable, there remains a need for more specific biomarkers to identify individuals at heightened risk of atherosclerosis before the onset of clinical symptoms.
