Electrochemical biosensors in early detection of Parkinson disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the motor system, with symptoms including tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Affecting over six million people globally, PD's pathophysiology is marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management, yet current methods are limited by low sensitivity, high cost, and the need for advanced equipment.

The Connections Between Alexithymia, Childhood Maltreatment, Impulsivity and Extreme Sensory Processing Patterns in Relation to Bipolar Symptoms in Inpatients With Bipolar Disorder.

Childhood maltreatment, alexithymia and impulsivity are related to bipolar disorder (BD), but the role of potential underlying mechanisms of this link, such as extreme sensory processing, in BD are unclear. This study compared sensory processing patterns between individuals with BD-I or BD-II and between those with and without alexithymia and childhood maltreatment. Additionally, the study aimed to examine the role of extreme sensory processing in the relationship between childhood trauma, alexithymia and impulsivity with both depression and mania in a sample of hospitalized individuals with BD (n = 300).

Minocycline mitigates sepsis-induced neuroinflammation and promotes recovery in male mice: Insights into neuroprotection and inflammatory modulation.

Sepsis is associated with brain injury and acute brain inflammation, which can potentially transition into chronic inflammation, triggering a cascade of inflammatory responses that may lead to neurological disorders. Minocycline, recognized for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, was investigated in this study for its protective effects against sepsis-induced brain injury. Adult male C57 mice pretreated with minocycline (12.

The effect of curcumax on postpartum women's depression: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postpartum depression is a major psychiatric disorder that affects the mother-baby attachment and may impair cognitive development of the child.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of curcumax (including ginger, turmeric, and black pepper) on postpartum depression in reproductive-aged women.

Material And Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial in which 124 women were recruited and randomly assigned into two groups of curcumax (n=62) and placebo (n=62) who consumed curcumax or placebo for 8 weeks (one capsule each day).

Potential of Edaravone Dexborneol in the treatment of cerebral ischemia: focus on cell death-related signaling pathways.

Cerebral ischemia has the highest global rate of morbidity and mortality. It occurs when a sudden occlusion develops in the arterial system, and consequently some parts of the brain are deprived from glucose and oxygen due to the cessation of blood flow. The ensuing reperfusion of the ischemic area results in a cascade of pathological alternations like neuronal apoptosis by producing excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.

Developing and validating of educational-therapeutic package based on psychological flexibility for nurses in the intensive care unit of COVID-19: Application of grounded theory.

Background: Caring for COVID-19 patients has caused high stress and burnses. Therefore, the current research aims to develop and validate an educational-therapeutic package based on psychological flexibility for COVID-19 nurses.

Materials And Methods: The approach of this research was Exploratory Sequential Mixed Method, which was carried out in 2019 to 2021.

Future scenarios of palliative care in health system of Iran: a multi-method study.

Background: Paying attention to palliative care has accelerated in Iran in the last 10 years. Considering the trend of aging, increasing burden of chronic diseases and increasing health costs, planning and development of palliative care is necessary in the future. This study was conducted with the aim of explaining the alternative scenarios of palliative care in the health system of Iran until the horizon of 2030.

Cardioprotective effect of cedrol in an inflammation systemic model induced by lipopolysaccharide: Biochemical and histological verification.

Introduction: Evidence declared lipopolysaccharide (LPS) initiates inflammatory responses by stimulating the abandon of cytokines, which may perturb organ function. On the other side, it has been suggested Cedrol has potential properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Herein, this study was done to assess the protective effect of Cedrol against LPS-associated heart damage.
