THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE HEALTH IN PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA/H5N1.

Infections with H5N1, a type of pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus, are spreading among livestock farmers, particularly among dairy cows in the United States. Until now, HPAI/H5N1 has rarely infected humans, but transmission from H5N1-infected dairy cows to dairy workers has been reported. Additionally, cases of human-to-human transmission of H5N1 have been reported.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Nonagenarians: A Dilemma in Treatment Approach.

Stroke is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity, particularly among the elderly population. As the general population ages, cerebrovascular disease is anticipated to increase in prevalence. Strokes can manifest as either hemorrhagic or ischemic events.

Effective Control of Parasitic Diseases through Local Narratives: Lessons from Thailand and Laos.

In recent decades, technological advancements and scientific progress have significantly improved disease control strategies. However, the exclusive focus on these aspects often overlooks the crucial role of social and cultural factors. Local narratives, reflecting community traditions and beliefs, offer valuable insights that can influence the success of public health interventions.

An oral liraglutide nanomicelle formulation conferring reduced insulin-resistance and long-term hypoglycemic and lipid metabolic benefits.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and often worsened by obesity. Effective management involves the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) to assist with glycemic control and weight management. However, these drugs must be administered subcutaneously due to their low oral bioavailability.
