Repercussion of SARS-CoV-2 on the Sexual Function in Males Updated Review.

SARS-CoV-2, also called coronavirus causes SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respir-atory syndrome, a highly transmissible disease that has rapidly spread worldwide, straining healthcare systems and leading to a substantial number of fatalities. Interestingly, SARS-CoV-2 has revealed a gender difference, with males dying at a greater rate and with more severe cases than women. It's worth noting that the male reproductive system might be par-ticularly susceptible to damage during periods of moderate to severe sickness, which has been linked to cases of orchitis and erectile dysfunction.

Suppressing the Inflammatory Prostaglandin Signaling after Thrombotic Stroke Ameliorates Ischemic Brain Injury and Facilitates Poststroke Recovery.

Acute cerebral ischemia is a leading cause of death and disability, particularly among old adults. The narrow therapeutic window and risk of hemorrhagic transformation largely limit patient eligibility for the current treatment. The neuroinflammatory signaling pathway involving the prostaglandin E2 (PGE) receptor subtype EP2 has now been clarified to contribute to the secondary neurotoxicity following ischemic stroke.

Dietary phytochemicals alleviate the premature skin aging: A comprehensive review.

Evaluating the impact of neonicotinoids on aquatic non-target species: A comprehensive review.

Neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) are the fastest-growing class in agricultural protection. They target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in pests, stimulating the nervous system at low doses and causing paralysis and death at higher concentrations. NNIs are used in crop protection, seed treatment, forestry, agriculture, and flea control in domestic cattle.

Honeybee defense mechanisms: Role of honeybee gut microbiota and antimicrobial peptides in maintaining colony health and preventing diseases.

Honeybees play a vital role in pollination and the maintenance of ecosystem biodiversity, making their health and well-being crucial for agriculture and environmental sustainability. Bee health is modulated by symbiotic microorganisms colonizing the gut in balanced proportions. Studies have demonstrated that these beneficial bacteria have the capacity to enhance the immune system of honey bees, having substantial impact on regulating their immunological responses and hence aiding in defending against pathogenic illnesses.

Role of long non-coding RNAs in neurofibromatosis and Schwannomatosis: pathogenesis and therapeutic potential.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is identified as genetic disorder characterized by multiple tumors on nerve tissues. NF1 is the most prevalent form, identified by neurofibromas and skin changes. NF1 is the most prevalent neurofibromatosis disorder, distinct from the rarer NF2 and schwannomatosis (SWN) conditions.

Prognostic Indicators for Precision Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has established predictive biomarkers that enable decisions on treatment regimens for many patients. However, resistance to therapy is widespread. It is therefore essential to have a panel of molecular biomarkers that may help overcome therapy resistance and prevent adverse effects of treatment.

Nitric oxide: Potential therapeutic target in Heat Stress-induced Multiple Organ Dysfunction.

As climate change intensifies, urgent action is needed to address global warming and its associated health risks, particularly in vulnerable regions. Rising global temperature and increasing frequency of heatwaves present a hidden health risk, disrupting the body's temperature regulation and leading to severe consequences such as heat stress-induced multiple organ dysfunction (HS-MOD). Multiple organ injury triggered by heat stress involves complex molecular pathways such as nitric oxide dysregulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium homeostasis disruption, and autophagy impairment that contribute to cellular damage.
