Prevalence and association of self-medication practices with personal and educational factors among university employees of Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Objective: Self-medication (SM) is an emerging practice in both developing and developed countries. The commonality of this behavior is observed in patients with specific environments. The current study endeavored to determine the prevalence of SM practices and their correlated factors among academic employees in Saudi Arabia.

Analysis of the thermal distribution of a porous radial fin influenced by an inclined magnetic field with neural computing.

Fins and radial fins are versatile engineering components that significantly enhance heat transfer and thermal management in diverse applications, hence improving efficiency and performance across several sectors. This study examines the temperature distribution in a radial porous fin under steady-state conditions, evaluating the impact of several significant parameters by utilizing a novel methodology. We specifically introduce an inclined magnetic field and examine the effects of convection and internal heat generation on the thermal behavior of the fin.

Association of burnout and working environment conditions in respiratory care professionals in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Burnout is a pervasive issue in healthcare, and it impacts both the wellbeing of healthcare professionals and the quality of patient care. This study examines factors associated with burnout and working environment among respiratory therapists in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from respiratory therapists.

Rejuvenating aged osteoprogenitors for bone repair.

Aging is marked by a decline in tissue regeneration, posing significant challenges to an increasingly older population. Here, we investigate age-related impairments in calvarial bone healing and introduce a novel two-part rejuvenation strategy to restore youthful repair. We demonstrate that aging negatively impacts the calvarial bone structure and its osteogenic tissues, diminishing osteoprogenitor number and function and severely impairing bone formation.

Bio-Inspired Polymeric Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for siRNA Delivery: Cytotoxicity and Cellular Uptake In Vitro.

Nanomedicine has introduced strategies that provide precise diagnosis and treatment with fewer side effects than traditional therapies. Treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease, are palliative, necessitating an innovative delivery system with a curative function. This study investigated a solid lipid nanoparticle (SLNP) system's ability to bind and safely deliver siRNA in vitro.
