Multi-analytical characterization and radiation shielding assessment of natural ophiolitic rocks: a combined experimental, mineralogical, and simulation analysis

Abstract Ophiolitic suites derived from oceanic crust are rich in ferromagnesian and mafic minerals and exhibit relatively high densities, making them promising and economical materials for radiation shielding. This study evaluates ophiolitic rocks exposed along the Marsa Alam–Id...

Role of intraoperative ultrasonography as a method of neuro-navigation in surgical treatment of intracranial hemorrhage

Background: Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), the second most common type of stroke, can be fatal or cause severe disability. A key technical goal while studying the surgical therapy of ICH should be the amount of hematoma evacuation. Multiple challenges are encountered...

A machine learning approach to predict treatment response in myofascial pain patients receiving masseter trigger point injections

BACKGROUND: Trigger point injection (TPI) therapy is widely used for masseter myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), yet outcomes vary substantially. Individualized prediction tools are lacking, often leading to trial-and-error treatment selection. OBJECTIVE: To develop, externally vali...

Combined Omeprazole and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. Extract Attenuate Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulceration Through Modulation of TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 Signaling and Upregulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR Gene Expression

Ethanol (EtOH)-induced gastric ulcer (GU) is a common model used to investigate mechanisms of mucosal injury and repair. Omeprazole (OMP) is a conventional anti-ulcer drug that effectively suppresses gastric acid secretion, but its efficacy may be enhanced by combining it with bi...

Prevalence, resistance profile of ESKAPEE pathogens, and molecular detection of PMQR-associated genes among Levofloxacin-resistant gram-negative ESKAPEE isolates from critically-ill patients

ESKAPEE pathogens are characterized with rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance. To detect the prevalence, resistance profile of ESKAPEE pathogens, and to analyze the Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance (PMQR)-associated genes among Levofloxacin-resistant gram-negative ESKAPE...
