Objectives: To describe the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research Evidence Alliance's cocreation and evaluation of two capacity building courses on knowledge synthesis for patient and public partners.
Study Design And Setting: Two 3-week courses were collaboratively designed by, with, and for patient and public partners on engagement in knowledge synthesis. The first course, offered virtually in 2021, focused on patient and public engagement in systematic reviews and rapid reviews.
Objective: To determine the serum levels of irisin, chemerin and insulin in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, and to compare their levels with respect to bodyweight and body mass index.
Methods: The case-control study was conducted at the Department of Clinical Chemistry, College of Medicine, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, from December 2020 to February 2022, and comprised healthy controls in group I who were matched for bodyweight and body mass index with polycystic ovary syndrome women in group II. Subjects and cases were inducted using purposive sampling technique Subgroups were also formed on the basis of normal body mass index, and overweight-obese status.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the potential of etoricoxib-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (Et-NLC) to protect the rat jejunum from radiation damage caused by gamma irradiation, a common issue in radiation therapy for cancer.
- - Results indicated that Et-NLC treatment improved levels of key protective enzymes and reduced harmful inflammatory markers, suggesting it has anti-inflammatory effects and enhances cellular resilience against radiation-induced stress.
- - Histological analysis confirmed that Et-NLC treatments effectively mitigated radiation damage, improving tissue health and vascularization compared to etoricoxib alone, highlighting its enhanced protective capabilities.
BACKGROUND This study investigates the effect of artificial aging of direct resin nanohybrid composites on mean bond strength values for veneer ceramic samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety direct nanohybrid composite resin (Tetric N-Ceram) cylindrical discs were divided into 5 groups (n=18 each) based on aging cycles (thermocycling), as follows: TC=no aging (control), T1=850, T3=2500, T6=5000, and T12=10000 cycles, representing 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of clinical usage, respectively. Lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.

Objective: To study symptomatic, linezolid-attributable ADRs in TB patients initiated on all oral longer bedaquiline-based treatment regime for multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant (MDR/RR)-TB under programmatic conditions.
Methods: It was a multicenter, retrospective study of people with MDR/RR-TB in nine TB units in Nagpur, India, from March 2020 to April 2022.
