Healthcare workers' knowledge and attitudes regarding artificial intelligence adoption in healthcare: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The convergence of healthcare and artificial intelligence (AI) introduces a transformative era in medical practice. However, the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare workers concerning the adoption of artificial intelligence in healthcare are currently unknown.

Aims: The primary objective was to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals in Dhaka city, Bangladesh, regarding the adoption of AI in healthcare.

The role of illness schemata in self-care behaviors and glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes in Iran.

Aims: The diabetes illness perception domains outlined by Leventhal's common-sense model may be weakly associated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and adherence to diabetes self-care behaviors. However, type 2 diabetes patients' illness schemata identified by clustering the illness perception domains remain to be explained. This study aimed to describe type 2 diabetes patients' illness schemata and to examine their association with self-care behaviors and glycemic control in Iran.

Application of Response Surface Method for Preparation, Optimization, and Characterization of Nicotinamide Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have been proven to possess pharmaceutical advantages. They have the ability to deliver hydrophilic drugs through lipid membranes of the body. However, the loading of such drugs into SLNs is challenging.

Dexamethasone loaded multi-layer poly-l-lactic acid/pluronic P123 composite electrospun nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and drug delivery.

In tissue engineering, it is common to mix drugs that can control proliferation and differentiation of cells into polymeric solutions as part of composite to get bioactive scaffolds. However, direct incorporation of drugs might potentially result in undesired burst release. To overcome this problem, here we developed electrospun multilayer drug loaded poly-l-lactic acid/pluronic P123 (PLLA-P123) composite scaffolds.

G-CSF loaded nanofiber/nanoparticle composite coated with collagen promotes wound healing in vivo.

Sustained release of functional growth factors can be considered as a beneficial methodology for wound healing. In this study, recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were incorporated in Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers, followed by surface coating with collagen type I. Physical and mechanical properties of the PCL nanofibers containing G-CSF loaded chitosan nanoparticles PCL/NP(G-CSF) and in vivo performance for wound healing were investigated.

Expression of liver alpha-amylase in obese mouse hepatocytes.

Aim: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the relation between the expression of liver alpha-amylase and obesity.

Background: Alpha-amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of 1, 4-alpha-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides and has three main subtypes, including: salivary, pancreatic, and hepatic. Hepatic alpha-amylase is involved in glycogen metabolism, and has a role in obesity and its management.

Amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into germ cells in vitro.

This is the first report on differentiation of mouse amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells (AM-MSCs) into male germ cells (GCs). AM-MSCs have the multipotent differentiation capacity and can be differentiated into various cell types. In the present study, AM-MSCs were induced for differentiation into GCs.
