Perception, knowledge, and factors influencing Saudi nursing students toward practicing testicular self-examination: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Testicular cancer poses a substantial health burden globally, and early detection through testicular self-examination (TSE) is vital for improving prognosis. The study aims to assess the perception, awareness, knowledge, and factors associated with TSE among Saudi nursing students.

Materials And Methods: A structured questionnaire was distributed to 418 participants.

The psychological impact of COVID-19 on front-line healthcare providers in the United Arab Emirates: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the psychological well-being of healthcare providers (HCPs) worldwide. Understanding the prevalence and associated factors of depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among these providers is crucial. Assess the prevalence of major depression, GAD, and PTSD symptoms among HCPs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reducing sedentary behavior improves depressive symptoms among patients with heart failure enrolled in a home-based mobile health app cardiac rehabilitation.

Background: Depressive symptoms are common, worsening heart failure (HF) progression and reducing quality of life. While supervised structured exercise training is effective for managing depressive symptoms, it often demands a substantial time commitment or intensive activity that may discourage participation.

Objective: Evaluate the impacts of reducing sedentary time with short bouts of light physical activities or greater intensity levels on depressive symptoms after HF patients' enrollment in a home-based intervention.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri ameliorates maternal separation stress in newborn mice and alters subsequent adult behaviour.

Maternal separation (MS) in mice results in behavioral deficits and gut microbiota dysbiosis that all persist into adulthood. Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 modulates gut microbiota, alters systemic metabolites, and facilitates immune regulation. To assess the effect of DSM 17938 on biochemical and behavioural stress-associated changes, newborn mice were exposed to unpredictable MS (MSU) daily from day 7 to day 20 of life, with intragastric administration of DSM 17938 or PBS as control.

Multidrug resistance and phylogenetic analyses of based on the gene of isolates recovered from clinical samples and their susceptibility to silver-nanoparticle.

Background: is a highly antimicrobial-resistant pathogen with a very narrow range of effective antibacterial agents. Therefore, finding alternative compounds is highly required, such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).

Aim: The current study was conducted to identify the multidrug resistance (MDR) profile and perform a phylogenetic analysis on isolates recovered from clinical samples (human, cows, cats, and fish) and to study their susceptibility to AgNPs.
