Fertility induction associated with improved peripheral reproductive parameters in male mice subjected to GH and levothyroxine replacement.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the parameters of reproductive anatomy and pituitary hormone expression levels in ames dwarf mice ).

Materials And Methods: Male mice aged 30 days received daily intraperitoneal injections of recombinant human GH and levothyroxine three times weekly for 60 days. The sexual maturation of these animals was compared with that of their wild-type ( ) and untreated ( ) siblings.

Exposure/Risk Assessment of Employees in Gasoline Refueling Stations with and Without the Efficacy of Vapor Recovery Systems in Mexico.

Concerns regarding the health risks associated with employe exposure to volatile chemicals during gasoline refueling necessitates rigorous investigation and effective countermeasures. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of vapor recovery systems in mitigating exposure risks during gasoline refueling. Employee exposure to volatile organic compounds, aldehydes, carbon monoxide, and fine particulate matter (PM) was assessed at gasoline stations with and without vapor recovery systems.

Palliative care in the public health system: how do physicians deal with their patients at the end of life?

Background: Patients with cancer are referred late to palliative care services (PCS).

Aim: To analyse the time of referral to PCSs and the characteristics of patients that are referred.

Methods: A retrospective cohort.

Knowledge About Basic Life Support Among University Students.

Background:  Basic life support (BLS) is an essential skill set for responding to emergencies like cardiac arrest. However, the level of preparedness and interest in BLS among university students remains underexplored, especially in nonmedical populations.

Methods:  This study surveyed 427 University of Beira Interior (UBI) students to assess their knowledge, confidence, and interest in BLS training.

Transforming sludge into energy: impact of blend percentage on energy recovery potential and environmental benefits of co-combustion of wastewater sludge and coal in Brazil.

Proper waste management and sustainable energy production are crucial for human development. For this purpose, this study evaluates the impact of blending percentage on energy recovery potential and environmental benefits of co-combustion of wastewater sludge and Brazilian low-rank coal. The sludge and coal were characterised in terms of their potential as fuel and co-combustion tests were carried out in a pilot-scale bubbling fluidised bed focused on the influence of the percentage of sludge mixture on the behaviour of co-combustion with coal in terms of flue gas composition and fluidised bed temperature stability.
