Health risk behaviors among medical and nursing students of Lumbini Medical College, Nepal: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: Healthcare students are expected to lead healthy lives yet they may engage in health risk behaviors (HRBs) like physical inactivity, poor diet, and substance use. These behaviors can have negative consequences for both the individual's health and well-being, as well as their ability to perform their future roles as healthcare providers. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of HRBs and associated factors among medical and nursing students at Lumbini Medical College, Nepal.

Public Health Risk from Influenza Viruses: A Scientometric Analysis of Influenza Research.

Background: Seasonal influenza and novel H1N1 influenza from 2009 present worldwide difficulties for public health sectors. It is difficult to distinguish between significant research output due to the rising quantity of papers mentioning this infectious disease. We aimed to identify a scientometric analysis of influenza diseases.

Changes in haptoglobin genotype-based gene expressions upon the observance of dawn-to-dusk intermittent fasting: a prospective cohort study on overweight and obese individuals.

Introduction: Intermittent fasting (IF) has been reported to be involved in ameliorating oxidative stress and lessening the systemic-low grade inflammation that predisposes to chronic diseases. Gene polymorphism is currently a main determining factor for the metabolic responses to different dietary and lifestyle modifications.

Methods: The current study was designed to explore the effect of observing four-week, dawn to dusk IF by participants with obesity on gene expression of the anti-inflammatory , oxidative stress, and bioenergetics enzymes (, , and ), as well as metabolic and cellular regulatory genes ( and ).

Accuracy of Mandibular Foramen Localization Using Digital Orthopantomogram (OPG) in Middle Eastern Population.

Background/objectives: Locating the mandibular foramen (MF) through imaging is clinically important for inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) anesthesia and mandibular ramus osteotomies. Although cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is superior in imaging the mandible, an orthopantomogram (OPG) is preferred for its ease of use and availability. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of digital OPG in localizing the MF, in a subset of the Middle Eastern population.

Genome-Guided Identification of Surfactin-Producing AQ11M9 with Anti- Potential.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant fungi is a worldwide health crisis connected with high rates of mortality. There is a critical need to find novel and unique antifungal compounds for treating infections of multidrug-resistant fungi such as . This study aimed to illustrate that biosynthetic gene clusters in native bacterial isolates are able to produce antifungal compounds against the multidrug-resistant fungus It was successfully achieved using large-scale antifungal activity screening, cytotoxicity analysis, and whole genome sequencing integrated with genome mining-guided analysis and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS).

Influence of Endodontic Cavity Design on Interfacial Voids, Class II Resin Composites Sealing Ability and Tooth Fracture Resistance: An In Vitro Study.

: The aim of this in vitro investigation is to study the effect of endodontic cavity design on interfacial voids, class II resin composite sealing ability, and fracture resistance in mandibular premolars. : A total of 48 single-rooted mandibular premolars received compound class II preparations with either traditional flare access cavities (group A) or contracted endodontic cavity preparations (group B). Each study group was subdivided according to the coronal restoration into two sub-groups as α and β.

Characterization and utilization of apple peel and grape stems extract constituents as green restraints for aluminum dissolution.

Different flavone extracts from apple peel and aldehydes from grape stems were investigated as restraints of the anodic aluminum dissolution procedure in 60% HPO:40% HSO. The potential-limiting current correlation for Al anode was assessed and associated with regularly improving apple peel and grape stems extract concentration (100 to 1000 ppm range). The limiting current reduces whereas retardation effectiveness (%) increases as the concentrations of apple peel and grape stems extract rise.

Use of Miconazole Cream As Adjunctive Therapy to Treat Isolated Sinus Mucormycosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Black fungus, also known as mucormycosis, is one of the most serious infections affecting immunocompromised individuals. Invasive fungal sinusitis due to mucormycosis is quite rare globally. Hence, this article presents a case report of invasive fungal sinusitis in a 53-year-old diabetic female who presented to the emergency department with a severe case of diabetic ketoacidosis secondary to acute sinusitis, which was confirmed by histopathology to be mucormycosis.

Saudi Medical Students' Perspectives on the Radiology Curriculum.

Introduction The importance of radiological technology in healthcare is indisputable in diagnosing and treating many diseases, yet undergraduate radiology education globally remains inadequate. Worldwide, students express dissatisfaction with radiology education, underscoring the need for improvement in this aspect. Saudi Arabia's medical system lacks a unified radiology curriculum, necessitating robust curriculum development, which should be addressed by the Council of Deans of Saudi Medical Schools.

Species-specific ecotoxicity of platinum nanoparticles to two cyanobacteria.

Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are one of the widely used NPs, which contribute to potential risks to the aquatic ecosystem. However, PtNPs toxicity in phytoplankton remains inadequately understood, with significant gaps in knowledge regarding their biochemical bases and species-specific responses. Herein, we investigated the impact of PtNPs on two cyanobacterial species (Anabaena laxa and Nostoc muscorum) to explore the harmful pathways triggered by PtNPs in cyanobacteria, which may help in selecting appropriate biomarkers for PtNPs pollution in aquatic environments.

Exploration of thiazine Schiff bases as promising urease inhibitors: Design, synthesis, enzyme inhibition, kinetic analysis, ADME/T evaluation, and molecular docking studies.

Urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea, leading to an increase in stomach pH and supporting Helicobacter pylori survival, which is linked to several gastrointestinal disorders. In this study, thiazine-based Schiff bases were explored as promising urease inhibitors. Various spectroscopic techniques characterized the synthetic library of thiazine Schiff bases 2-36 and also evaluated for their inhibitory activities against urease.
