The authors analysed time series of rabies cases diagnosed in Hungary between 1967 and 2001. In Transdanubia (West Hungary), an oral immunization program started in 1992 and in East Hungary in 2001. Both long term and seasonal trends were identified in the time series of rabies cases. In order to characterize the underlying processes governing the behaviour of the epidemic, the fluctuations around the trend were analysed before and after immunization separately. It turned out that the tail of the complementary cumulative distribution functions differ. The tail of the distribution follows an inverse power law (IPL) function and describes the distribution of extreme events. The significant difference in the IPL exponents before and after immunization can be explained by the theory of Highly Optimized Tolerance (HOT).

Department of Neonatology Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Periviable infants are a highly vulnerable neonatal group, and their survival rates are considerably affected by patient-, caregiver-, and institution-level factors, exhibiting wide variability across different income countries and time periods. This study aims to systematically review the literature on the survival rates of periviable infants and compare rates among countries with varied income levels and across different time periods.
Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science.
fruit extract preadipocyte differentiation inhibition in 3T3-L1 cells.

Department of Veterinary Pre-Clinical Science, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia.
Objective: Concerns over the increasing number of obese individuals and the associated health risks have prompted therapeutic option explorations. Similarly, this study aimed to establish fruit extract (SCFE) anti-adipogenic attributes in 3T3-L1 cells.
Methods: The polyphenolic compounds in SCFE were identified with Reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).
A Scoping Review of Factors Associated with Delayed Extubation in Post Cardiac Surgery Patients.

Department of Critical Care and Emergency Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia.
Background: Delayed extubation (DE) after cardiac surgery is associated with high morbidity, mortality, increased length of stay in the intensive care unit, and hospital costs. Various studies have identified factors that influence the occurrence of DE in patients after cardiac surgery, but no review has systematically synthesized the results.
Purpose: This review aimed to identify the influencing factors and the leading causes of DE in patients after cardiac surgery.
