Compensatory lymphangiogenesis is required for edema resolution in zebrafish.

Edema, characterized by the accumulation of interstitial fluid, poses significant challenges in various pathological conditions. Lymphangiogenesis is critical in edema clearance, and delayed or inadequate lymphatic responses significantly hinder healing processes. However, real-time observation of dynamic changes in lymphangiogenesis during tissue repair in animal models has been challenging, leaving the mechanisms behind compensatory lymphatic activation for edema clearance largely unexplored.

Exploring Obstetric Analgesia in Labor Management: Assessing Knowledge and Usage Among Midwives in North-Central Nigeria.

Background And Objective: Obstetric pain is one of the most severe forms of pain a woman may experience during childbirth. Due to the debilitating effects of excruciating labor discomfort, pain management continues to be an important issue that requires attention. This study assessed the knowledge and utilization of obstetric analgesia in labor-management among midwives in public healthcare facilities in the north-central region of Nigeria.

Factors affecting waiting times to enter opioid use disorder treatment in the United States with a particular focus on potential biological sex disparity.

Aim: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is the problematic use of licit or illicit opioids. Thus far, the literature on biological sex differences in accessing treatment is scarce. Hence, we hypothesize that biological sex has a moderating effect on OUD treatment accessibility.

Food Additives' Impact on Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review.

The human gut microbiota (GM) might play a significant role in the development or remission of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and associated disorders. Contributing factors include diets rich in unhealthy, processed foods that contain preservatives, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. Diet influences the GM's composition, diversity, and species richness in a time-dependent manner.
