Middle Eastern countries are primarily known for their dry sand deserts; however, they have a wider physiographic range which includes upland plateau and mountain ranges. The Middle East is home to various types of plants, such as (date palm tree), (herbaceous plants), and (cactus). These plants have been found to have various types of bioactivities, such as antimicrobial activities against both bacteria and fungi, in addition to exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects and anti-cancer characteristics which can be utilized in the clinical setting for treatment. Due to limited reviews focusing on plant extracts from the Middle East, we aim to provide a discourse on plants from this region which have various bioactivities and to provide information on the compounds that can be identified from these plants. This is to enhance our understanding to improve modern medicine problems such as antimicrobial resistance and to find an alternative cure for cancer. It is hoped that the collation of information from this review will enable an assessment of the direct role of Middle Eastern plants in providing therapeutic options to address the predicaments in the medical field.

Importance: Although surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is generally associated with an improvement in sexual function, knowledge on specific changes is limited.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and compare changes in sexual activity and function during a 5-year follow-up period after POP surgery.
Study Design: This was a nationwide cohort study of 3,515 women operated on for POP in 2015 in Finland.

Clinical Experimental Center, Jiangmen Engineering Technology Research Center of Clinical Biobank and Translational Research, Jiangmen Central Hospital, Jiangmen, China.
Study Question: What is the prevalence and trend of infertility among individuals of childbearing age at global, regional, and national levels by sex and socio-demographic index (SDI) across 21 regions and 204 countries and territories?
Summary Answer: Our findings reveal a growing prevalence of infertility among individuals aged 15-49 years worldwide from 1990 to 2021, with an expected continued increase through 2040.
What Is Known Already: Infertility is a persistent global reproductive health issue, leading to significant societal and health consequences. No study has specifically described the current prevalence of infertility, its secular trend, or the variations between regions or countries with different SDI levels.
Mapping emissions in Cyprus using TROPOMI observations: evaluation of the flux-divergence scheme using multiple parameter sets.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
January 2025
The Cyprus Institute, Climate and Atmosphere Research Center, 2121, Nicosia, Cyprus.
The production of nitrogen oxides (NO = NO + NO ) is substantial in urban areas and from fossil fuel-fired power plants, causing both local and regional pollution, with severe consequences for human health. To estimate their emissions and implement air quality policies, authorities often rely on reported emission inventories. The island of Cyprus is de facto divided into two different political entities, and as a result, such emissions inventories are not systematically available for the whole island.

Cardinal Tien Hospital, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Background: It has been found that speech analysis is a sensitive method for early Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection. Among the various linguistic features, silent pause has emerged as a fair indicator, exhibiting higher prevalence in individuals with AD compared to general population. This study aimed to further examine the relationship between long pause ratio (LPR) in speech and traditional markers of disease progression, like biomarkers, neuroimaging features and neuropsychological tests.
