The properties of solitary and shock structures associated with nonlinear ion modes in a dense plasma with strongly coupled nondegenerate ions and degenerate electron fluids are presented. For this purpose, we have used the viscoelastic fluid model for the ions, the inertialess electron momentum equation with weakly and ultrarelativistic pressure laws for the degenerate electron fluids, and Poisson's equation to derive the Burgers and Kortweg-de Vries equations. Possible stationary solutions of the latter are the shock and solitary structures, respectively. It is found that the speed, amplitude, and width of the shock and solitary waves critically depend on the strong coupling between ions and electron degeneracy effects. The relevance of our investigation to the role of localized excitations in dense astrophysical objects is briefly discussed.

(Lepidoptera: Nolidae) is a major pest of cotton and other crops in Egypt, and the widespread use of insecticides has led to resistance. This study evaluates, for the first time, the bioactivity of (Malpighiales: Euphorbiaceae) oil and its nano-emulsion (CTNE) against 25 newly hatched larvae of Boisd. We assessed their biological effects across different developmental stages and performed histological and ultrastructural examinations.

is a species whose sclerotia have been extensively employed in traditional Chinese medicine, which has diuretic, antitumor, anticancer, and immune system enhancement properties. However, prolonged asexual reproduction has resulted in significant homogenization and degeneration of seed sclerotia. In contrast, sexual reproduction has emerged as an effective strategy to address these challenges, with a distinct mating system serving as the foundation for the implementation of sexual breeding.

Background: Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder resulting from variants in genes coding for the alpha-3/4/5 chains of Collagen IV, leading to defective basement membranes in the kidney, cochlea, and eye. The clinical manifestations of AS vary in patients. Cases of childhood AS caused by presenting primarily with nephrotic syndrome (NS) are rarely reported.

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a significant risk factor for glaucoma, causing structural and functional damage to the eye. Increased IOP compromises the metabolic and structural integrity of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, leading to progressive degeneration and influencing the ocular immune response. This study investigated early cellular and molecular changes in the retina and optic nerve (ON) following ocular hypertension (OHT).

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic complex neurodegenerative disease characterized with amyloid plaques and loss of neurons. TGF-β1 is important growth factor, plays critical roles in cell metabolism, tissue homeostasis, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of TGF-β1 on the regulation of α, β, and γ-secretase enzymes, Aβ-40 accumulation, apoptosis, and neuronal damage in an experimental Scopolamine-induced AD-like model.
