This study's objective was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of non-adherence to antihyperlipidemic medications.

Unveiling the complexity of rifampicin drug susceptibility testing in : comparative analysis with next-generation sequencing.

The discordance between phenotypic and molecular methods of rifampicin (RIF) drug susceptibility testing (DST) in poses a significant challenge, potentially resulting in misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. A comparison of RIF phenotypic and molecular methods for DST, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), may provide a better understanding of resistance mechanisms. This study aims to compare RIF DST in using two phenotypic and molecular methods including the GeneXpert RIF Assay (GX) and WGS for better understanding.

Predicting oral hygiene practices through health behavior, perceived stress and self-efficacy in undergraduate dental students of Pakistan: a national survey.

Background: Dental students face the rigorous demands of coursework, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and stress. These pressures can negatively influence self-efficacy and cause neglect in practicing healthy behaviors that encompass oral health. Identifying the associations of these variables with oral hygiene practices can help in the formulation of interventions tailored toward supporting young students.

On statistical evaluation of reverse degree based topological indices for iron telluride networks.

In the context of graph theory and chemical graph theory, this research conducts a detailed mathematical investigation of reverse topological indices as they relate to iron telluride networks, clarifying their complex interactions. Graph theory is a branch of abstract mathematics that carefully studies the connections and structural features of graphs made up of edges and vertices. These theoretical ideas are expanded upon in chemical graph theory, which models molecular architectures with atoms acting as vertices and chemical bonds as edges.

Six vs 12-hour balloon catheter placement for the induction of labor: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: Balloon catheters have shown promising results in the induction of labor (IOL); however, evidence regarding the optimal time of balloon catheter placement is still lacking. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 6-hour placement compared to 12 hours.

Data Source: We conducted a comprehensive search through a search strategy across "Embase, SCOPUS, PubMed (via MEDLINE), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)" from inception until April 20, 2024.

The Role of Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Trends and Future Directions.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) provides superior results in the surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There exist various minimally invasive procedures, each possessing its own set of benefits and drawbacks. This literature review outlines these methodologies and underscores their importance in enhancing the outcomes of patients with IBD.

Analysis of multi-wave solitary solutions of (2+1)-dimensional coupled system of Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli.

This work examines the (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli model, which finds its use in hydrodynamics. This model explains how water waves vary over time in hydrodynamics. We provide new explicit solutions to the generalized (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli equation by applying the Sardar sub-equation technique.

Interleukin-6 (-174G/C), Interleukin-1β (-511 C/T), and Apolipoprotein B-100 (2488 C/T) Gene Polymorphism in Pre-Eclampsia.

: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific condition characterized by significant health risks for pregnant women worldwide due to its status as a multi-organ disorder. High blood pressure (hypertension) with or without proteinuria is usually considered an initial clinical sign of PE. The pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia is highly complex and likely involves multiple factors, including poorly developed uterine spiral arterioles, immunological issues, placental ischemia or infarction, and genetic abnormalities.

Dynamics of quasi-periodic, bifurcation, sensitivity and three-wave solutions for (n + 1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation.

This study endeavors to examine the dynamics of the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (gKP) equation in (n + 1) dimensions. Based on the comprehensive three-wave methodology and the Hirota's bilinear technique, the gKP equation is meticulously examined. By means of symbolic computation, a number of three-wave solutions are derived.

Mathematical analysis of isothermal study of reverse roll coating using Micropolar fluid.

This article demonstrates a mathematical model and theoretical analysis of the Micropolar fluid in the reverse roll coating process. It is important because micropolar fluids account for the microstructure and microrotation of particles within the fluid. These characteristics are significant for accurately describing the behavior of complex fluids such as polymer solutions, biological fluids, and colloidal suspensions.

Removal of oxytetracycline from pharmaceutical wastewater using kappa carrageenan hydrogel.

This study investigated the adsorption of Oxytetracycline (OTC) from pharmaceutical wastewater using a kappa carrageenan based hydrogel (KPB). The aim of the present study was to explore the potential of KPB for long-term pharmaceutical wastewater treatment. A sustainable adsorbent was developed to address oxytetracycline (OTC) contamination.

The Changes of Microbial Diversity and Isolation of Microorganism in Soil for Alleviating the Production Decreasing After Continuous Cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum.

Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal mushroom usually cultivated in logs and covered with soil. Its production decreases after continuous cultivation. Changes of microbial diversity in soil are suggested to be one of the reasons.

Polymer-assisted synthesis of ternary magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite for the adsorptive removal of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) ions.

The presence of chromium [Cr(VI)] and lead [Pb(II)] ions in the water bodies have adverse effects on humans and aquatic life.
