Introduction: The high prevalence of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), the considerable risk of ischemic stroke, and the need for novel antithrombotic strategies highlight ESUS as an important priority in stroke research in the coming years. This study is designed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban along with aspirin in reducing stroke recurrence in patients with ESUS.

Materials And Methods: The present study is a parallel-group, placebo-controlled, randomized, outcome-assessor blind, on patients in whom ESUS has recently (7-60 days) identified and had one risk factor of a potential embolic source.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading reason of death in men and the fourth in women. Studies have documented an inhibitory function of melatonin on the proliferation, progression and invasion of GC cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that play an important function in regulation of biological processes and gene expression of the cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Epulis fissuratum, a tissue growth caused by poorly fitted dentures, is traditionally treated with scalpels, but this study explores using CO lasers as an alternative in surgery.
  • In a clinical trial involving 19 patients, sections of epulis fissuratum were treated with both CO lasers and scalpels to compare outcomes, including surgery time, bleeding, and healing.
  • Findings indicated that CO lasers resulted in faster surgery, less bleeding, and greater vestibular depth, although scalpels showed better healing at 7 days; by 14 days, healing was similar, suggesting CO lasers could be a preferred treatment option.

The radioprotective effects of hesperidin (HES), a flavonone glucoside, were investigated by using the micronucleus test for anticlastogenic and cell proliferation activity. A single intraperitoneal (ip) administration of hesperidin at doses of 10 mg kg(-1), 20 mg kg(-1), 40 mg kg(-1), 80 mg kg(-1) and 160 mg kg(-1) 45 min prior to gamma irradiation (2 Gy) reduced the frequencies of micronuleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MnPCEs). All five doses of HES significantly reduced the frequencies of MnPCEs and increased PCE/PCE+NCE ratio in mice bone marrow compared with non-drug-treated irradiated control (p<0.
