Due to the shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and certain cancers such as breast cancer (BC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), our study aimed to assess the CVD risk factors among newly diagnosed patients with BC and CRC. The study utilized baseline data from the ongoing Cardiovascular Events in Breast and Colorectal Cancers (CIBC) cohort study conducted in Isfahan since 2019. Only patients who had recently been diagnosed with BC or CRC and had not undergone any treatment were included in the study.

Cellular senescence is implicated in various pathological and physiological processes and is a hallmark of aging. The presence of accumulated senescent cells, whether transiently (acute senescence) or persistently (chronic senescence) plays a dual role in various conditions such as natural kidney aging and different kidney disorders.

- - A systematic review was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of L-Theanine (LT) as an adjunct to antidepressants and antipsychotics in improving symptoms of various mental disorders, marking a gap in previous research.
- - The review assessed 419 publications and included 11 randomized controlled trials from six countries, focusing on disorders such as schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, major depression, sleep disorders, GAD, and Tourette syndrome.
- - Results indicated that LT supplementation helped reduce psychiatric symptoms more effectively than control conditions for individuals with schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and ADHD, though more research is needed to confirm these outcomes and understand the mechanisms involved.
Article Synopsis
- Two-phase closed thermosyphons (TPCTs) are efficient heat transfer devices using natural convection to transport heat with low temperature differences.
- This study compares a new TPCT with an external liquid-vapor separator to a standard TPCT, testing different working fluids (water, methyl acetate, ethanol) and varying heat inputs and filling ratios.
- The novel TPCT showed improved thermal efficiency, notably reducing thermal resistance when using water, highlighting the importance of fluid choice and offering insights for optimizing TPCT designs for various applications.
