Objective: This research assesses renoprotective effects of saracatinib (Src) in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the potential underlying processes.
Materials And Methods: Rats were divided into: control, DN, DN + Met + Los, DN + Met + Src, and DN + Met + Los + Src. Rats' ABP, urinary albumin, urinary nephrin, and creatinine clearance were assessed.
Given the dearth of literature on attachment theory in the Arab world, this study explores the cross-cultural validity of attachment theory within an Egyptian sample of 60 mother-child dyads through the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP). The study examines the applicability of attachment theory's universality, normativity, and secure base hypotheses, as well as the prevalence and manifestations of insecurity in an Egyptian sample. The findings supported attachment theory's universality, normativity and secure base hypotheses, while simultaneously pointing towards cultural variations in attachment manifestations.

- Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes glycogen buildup due to enzyme deficiency, primarily affecting the heart and muscles, with urgent treatment needed for infantile-onset forms to prevent mortality.
- The study aims to improve diagnosis of infantile-onset Pompe disease in the UAE by using electronic health records (EHRs) to create a rule-based screening approach that enables quick and precise identification of at-risk patients.
- The screening evaluated over 93,000 subjects, resulting in five identified true positives and one false negative, while integrating expert rules with a dashboard for better data visualization and screening efficiency, with a recommendation for future research to apply machine learning for enhanced detection.
