In order to examine the role of humoral factors for the development of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat of the Münster strain (SHR) cross circulation experiments with normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats were performed. Cross circulation between SHR and normotensive rats for 30 min increased mean arterial pressure in the latter by 29.1 +/- 7.6 mm Hg (p less than 0.01). Transmission of hypertension by cross circulation was abolished by nephrectomy, adrenalectomy, volume depletion or chronic salt restriction in the SHR. It is concluded that hypertension in SHR is caused by a circulating hypertensive agent produced in kidneys and adrenals, the secretion of which can be suppressed by volume or salt depletion.

Background: Exposure to sunlight aids in the body's production of vitamin D, guards against rickets, and treats newborn jaundice. In Ethiopia, the magnitude of sunlight exposure practice varies across studies. Thus, this study aimed to estimate the pooled practices and factors associated with sunlight exposure of infants among mothers in Ethiopia.

Objectives: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is one of the most common etiologies of acute pancreatitis (AP) worldwide. Compared to other etiologies, patients with HTG-AP may develop more severe AP, but previous studies yielded controversial conclusion due to the lack of adequate adjustment for the confounders. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the possibility and risk factors of developing severe AP in HTG-AP.

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen affecting dairy cattle all over the world by causing significant economic losses due to reproductive and respiratory problems, immunosuppressive effects, increased risk of morbidity, and calf mortality. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2021 to August 2021 to determine the seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and identify risk factors associated with its occurrence in and around Nekemte Town of Ethiopia. Blood samples were collected from 305 dairy cattle of 41 herds by using cluster-sampling method.

Background: Despite extensive research on OHCA in urban centres worldwide, there is a significant gap in knowledge regarding these events in less urbanized regions, especially in Low-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
Aim: To determine the characteristics and outcomes of adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in rural and suburban districts of Sindh, Pakistan.
Methods: Data of OHCA patients (>18 years) was collected retrospectively from January 2020 to December 2022, from the medical records of district and tehsil hospitals of the province of Sindh Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package Software for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 29.

Background: Although mechanical thrombectomy (MT) represents the standard of care for ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO), the impact of sex on outcomes in tandem occlusions remains unclear. We investigated sex-based differences in outcomes after MT for tandem occlusions.
Methods: This multicenter observational study included consecutive patients with tandem occlusion treated with MT across three stroke centers (2021-2023).
