Pathologies such as mesenteric artery ischemia and reperfusion (MIR) can lead to many organ dysfunctions, including the brain and heart through damage mechanisms induced in response to hypoxic conditions. Radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) can increase the vascularization of tissues by providing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-mediated nitric oxide (NO) release from the endothelium. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of RF-EMF in ischemic intestinal injury in the experimental MIR model.

Gram-positive bacteria, such as , are some of the mastitis pathogens that cause subclinical infection and pose one of the most severe threats to dairy cattle due to their contagiousness and incidence. Therefore, newer molecular markers must be identified to predict bovine mastitis non-invasively with low error and high specificity.

Consequently, the dependability of the health information technology (HIT) systems responsible for collecting EHR data is of utmost importance for patient safety. Recently novel methods and tools aimed at identifying anomalies in EHR data to bolster the reliability of HIT systems have been introduced.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the possible protective effects of NB via the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1/matrix metalloproteinases-9 (VCAM-1/MMP-9) signaling pathway on systemic inflammation induced testicular dysfunction. Four groups of 32 male Wistar Albino rats were divided as (n = 8 for each) the control; lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 5 mg/kg on the third day); LPS + NB (NB: 10 mg/kg for three days and 5 mg/kg LPS 30 min following the last NB dose); NB (10 mg/kg for three days).

This study aims to explore the protective effects of a radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) and a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) on acute kidney injury in rats. : Forty female Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into five groups (each containing eight rats): control, LPS, RF-EMF, PMF, and RF-EMF + PMF groups.
