Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to shape the future of medical practice. The perspective and understanding of medical students are critical for guiding the development of educational curricula and training.
Objective: This study aims to assess and compare medical AI-related attitudes among medical students in general medicine and in one of the visually oriented fields (pathology), along with illuminating their anticipated role of AI in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-enhanced health care.
Introduction: Obesity has emerged as a global pandemic, with its prevalence notably increasing during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2019. In response, many individuals have turned to pharmacological interventions, including antidiabetic medications, as means of achieving weight loss with minimal effort. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the Jordanian population regarding the use of antidiabetic agents, specifically glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and biguanides, for weight management.

- - The increasing number of older people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) facing humanitarian crises highlights the urgent need to understand their health and well-being amidst these challenges.
- - A scoping review analyzing 84 studies revealed that older populations suffer predominantly from mental health issues, such as depression and PTSD, alongside significant physical health concerns, including high mortality rates and limited healthcare access.
- - Key gaps in research include a lack of focus on contextualized interventions for mental health, under-explored chronic diseases, and the impact of communicable diseases beyond COVID-19, indicating a need for more comprehensive studies.
Objective: This study aimed to assess Jordanian pharmacists' knowledge of the human microbiome and the impact of their knowledge on their attitudes and practices toward antibiotics and probiotics.

Introduction: Cannabidiol (CBD) has sparked considerable interest because of its wide range of pharmacological uses and the fact that it does not induce psychoactive effects. CBD formulation development presents significant challenges due to its limited water solubility and susceptibility to first-pass metabolism, both of which restrict its overall bioavailability. The current research aimed to use hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology to develop mucoadhesive buccal films to improve CBD solubility and reduce first-pass metabolism.
