Based on the structures of several lipophilic trioxolane antimalarial prototypes, we set out to determine which functional groups were associated with good antimalarial profiles and identify more polar (lower LogP/LogD) lead compounds with good physicochemical properties. More lipophilic trioxolanes tended to have better oral activities than their more polar counterparts. Trioxolanes with a wide range of neutral and basic, but not acidic, functional groups had good antimalarial profiles.

Objectives: The pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) not only affects the ovarian structure and function but also gives rise to complications such as osteoporosis and dyslipidemia. Although low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been proven effective in treating POI, its impact on the associated complications remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of LIPUS irradiation on osteoporosis and dyslipidemia in a mouse model of POI.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of administering flunixin meglumine (FM) and meloxicam (M) on specific days post-mating on progesterone (P4), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI), pregnancy-specific protein B (PSPB), pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) concentrations and fertility parameters in Awassi sheep.
Methods: Seventy-five Awassi sheep were divided into three groups of 25: control, M and FM. On days 9 and 10 post-mating, the control group received saline, the M group received 0.

This study investigated the relationship between eye movement parameters and cognitive function in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 80 patients with AD (mild and moderate) and 34 normal controls (NC) participated. Neuropsychological assessments were conducted using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), while eye movements were recorded using eye-tracking technology.

Introduction: Residual dizziness (RD) is common in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) after successful canalith repositioning procedures. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of vestibular rehabilitation (VR) on BPPV patients experiencing RD, and to explore the impact of VR on functional connectivity (FC), specifically focusing on the bilateral parietal operculum (OP) cortex.
Methods: Seventy patients with RD were randomly assigned to either a four-week VR group or a control group that received no treatment.

Insect antennae play a crucial role in communication, acting as receptors for both chemical and physical cues. This sensory reception is facilitated by specialized cuticular structures known as sensilla, which exhibit diverse morphologies and functions. In ants, caste polymorphism and sexual dimorphism manifest in antennal structure.
