Prevalence of Hypertension and Its Associated Risk Factors Among Adults Attending Medical Outpatient Clinics at Ibn Sina General Hospital Authority in Mukalla City, Yemen.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the most generally acknowledged modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease. Accordingly, the World Health Organization has listed HTN as the third greatest cause of death globally.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of HTN and its associated risk factors among adults attending medical clinics at Ibn Sina Hospital Authority in Mukalla City, Yemen.

Shewanella chilikensis MG22 isolated from tannery site for malachite green decolorization in microbial fuel cell: a proposed solution for recirculating aquaculture system (RAS).

Malachite Green (MG) dye of the triphenylmethane group is a toxic compound used in the aquaculture industry as an antifungal agent, however, it can accumulate in fish and pose toxicity. The present work aims to remove MG in Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) as a sustainable and eco-friendly solution. Out of six samples, the highest malachite green degradation was obtained by a sample obtained from Robiki tannery site in agar plates in 24 h at 37 °C.

Potential role of human umbilical cord stem cells-derived exosomes as novel molecular inhibitors of hepatocellular carcinoma growth.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most critical cancers; thus, novel therapeutical regimens are of great need. In this study, we investigated the effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) derived exosomes on HepG2 cell line, and the underlying mechanism to control HCC proliferation, to identify the potential clinical role of exosomes as a novel molecular therapeutic target. Proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis effects were assessed together with the cell viability evaluation by MTT assay in HepG2 cells at 24/48 h.
