Effects of Replacing Concentrate Feed with Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) Pods on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, and Rumen Fermentation in Assaf Lambs

This study examined the effects of replacing 25% (P25) or 50% (P50) of concentrate dry matter (DM) with sun-dried carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pods on growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, carcass traits, meat quality, serum biochemistry, and rumen microbiology in...

Effect of nitrogen-assisted and ambient-air post-curing protocols on surface hardness and degree of conversion of a 3D-printed occlusal splint material

Post-curing is a critical step in the fabrication of 3D-printed resin-based occlusal splints because it influences polymerization efficiency and final material properties. Atmospheric oxygen may inhibit free-radical polymerization at the resin surface, whereas nitrogen-assisted p...

Data-driven identification of modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer in Palestine using machine learning methods

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a growing public health concern in Palestine, yet limited evidence is available on locally relevant behavioral, dietary, socioeconomic, and contextual predictors. Machine learning (ML) may support prevention-oriented risk stratification by identifying c...

Oral cavity cancer knowledge and clinical practices among medical students and interns in the West Bank: a cross-sectional study

Oral cavity cancer (OCC) remains a major global public health challenge, with disproportionately high morbidity and mortality in developing regions. In the West Bank, OCC incidence and mortality are among the highest in the Middle East and North Africa. As primary care physicians...

Prevalence of poor sleep quality among Palestinian breast cancer patients and the associated factors: a cross-sectional study

Sleep disturbances are common among patients with breast cancer and may substantially impair quality of life, emotional well-being, and treatment experiences. However, evidence from Palestine and similar low- and middle-income settings remains scarce. This study aimed to assess t...
