Purpose: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most prevalent genetic autoinflammatory disease worldwide. There are several novel advancements in pathophysiology, genetic testing, diagnosis, comorbidities, disease-related damage, and treatment strategies. This study aimed to assess the effect of tonsillectomy on FMF disease severity and activity.

Two versatile yet simple methods, colorimetric and spectrofluorimetric, were utilized for the quantitation of nonchromophore neomycin using silver nanoparticles modified with fluorescein. Fluorescein was excited at 485 nm (emission at 515 nm); when it is deposited on the surface of silver nanoparticles, its fluorescence intensity at 515 nm is quenched. Neomycin restores the fluorescence level at 515 nm by displacing fluorescein from nanoparticle binding sites.

Objective: This research assesses renoprotective effects of saracatinib (Src) in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the potential underlying processes.

Materials And Methods: Rats were divided into: control, DN, DN + Met + Los, DN + Met + Src, and DN + Met + Los + Src. Rats' ABP, urinary albumin, urinary nephrin, and creatinine clearance were assessed.

Patients with diabetes polyneuropathy are at a heightened risk for developing foot ulcers, often due to dynamic plantar foot pressure patterns that lead to increased pressure and shear forces in specific foot areas. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of foot insoles on peak pressure and the pressure-time integral in patients with polyneuropathy diabetic foot ulcers over a twelve-week period followed by an eight-week follow up. : This was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial involving 60 patients aged between 50 and 65 years of both genders.

Many researchers are focusing on screening the biological activities of plants owing to their safety and possible pharmacological actions. Consequently, we aimed to explore the antiproliferative and cytotoxic properties of methanolic extract on HepG2 cell lines. Moreover, we also explore the antitumor action against the experimentally induced solid Ehrlich carcinoma (SEC) model and investigate the possible involved molecular mechanisms.
