Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of full-thickness abdominal wall injuries complicated by evisceration and fistulation in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Background Abdominal wall injuries in dromedary camels often result in life-threatening evisceration or persistent fistulation. While well documented in equines and bovines, standardized surgical management protocols and survival outcomes for camelids remain scarce in veterinary...

Content analysis of scientific activities in Omani Grade 9 physics textbooks: Alignment with critical and creative thinking in inquiry-oriented science education

This study examined the representation and balance of critical and creative thinking skills in scientific activities included in Omani Grade 9 physics textbooks and developed an analytical framework to inform curriculum development and textbook design. A descriptive content analy...

Potential mechanisms of endophytic Bacillus velezensis JR4 as a biocontrol agent against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causing postharvest rot in carrot

Abstract Carrot production regions worldwide incur enormous annual economic losses due to postharvest white mold caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum . Biological control is a promising approach for controlling postharvest pathogens. This study investigated the biocontrol efficacy...

Self-reported Hypertension, Awareness, Knowledge, and Risk-related Lifestyle Factors among Final-year University Students in Enugu, Nigeria: A Cross-sectional Study

Background Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide and is increasingly recognized among young adults. University students are often exposed to risk-related behaviours such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, alcohol and caffeine in...

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in the Garhwal Himalaya Integrating Seismic Shaking and Active‐Fire Predictors With an XGBoost Model

ABSTRACT The Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand, India, is a tectonically active, deeply dissected orogen in which landsliding is conditioned by a heterogeneous mix of topographic, geological, hydro‐climatic, seismic and anthropogenic controls. Reliable, high‐resolution susceptibili...

Cluster headache care gaps among primary healthcare physicians in the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye: a multinational study

Cluster headache is one of the most severely disabling primary headache disorders and is frequently associated with diagnostic delay, inappropriate treatment, disability, and substantial psychosocial burden. Because primary healthcare (PHC) physicians are commonly the first point...

Cardiovascular and functional outcomes of glucagon-like peptide−1 receptor agonists in heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) accounts for more than half of heart failure (HF) cases and is strongly associated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Glucagon-like peptide−1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) provide cardiometabolic...

A novel deep learning-based approach for liver segmentation from 3D CT images using probabilistic shape guidance

Abstract Accurate liver segmentation is essential for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems, yet it remains challenging due to anatomical variability, indistinct organ boundaries, and tissue intensity variations in both normal and pathological cases. To address these challenges,...

Antiviral Sesquiterpene Lactones from Laurus nobilis L.: Inhibition of Hepatitis C Virus and Dengue Virus Replication

Natural products remain indispensable scaffolds in antiviral drug discovery, particularly against high-burden viral pathogens. In this study, two major sesquiterpene lactones, dehydrocostus lactone (1) and costunolide (2), were isolated from Laurus nobilis L. leaves and evaluated...

Performing politeness, citing gender: a digital ethnography of compliment exchanges on Facebook among Egyptian youth

Abstract This study investigates the speech act of complimenting on Facebook within the Egyptian context, exploring how gender is performed and negotiated through these linguistic exchanges. It employs a mixed-methods, digital ethnographic approach to analyze a corpus of 240 comp...

Investigating the Overburden Correction Factor (Kσ) in silty sand using centrifuge modeling

This study involves a comprehensive series of four centrifuge experiments, designed to closely simulate a 5-m-thick layer of silty sand subjected to a range of drainage conditions—both single and double—and exposed to effective overburden pressures of approximately 100 and 600 kP...

Improving the cryo-resistance of Egyptian buffalo semen via chlorogenic acid and rutin supplementation: molecular docking, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic pathways

Abstract This study compared the antioxidant effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) and rutin (RU) supplementation in freezing extenders on the cryo-resistance of buffalo spermatozoa. Over eight weeks, 56 ejaculates were collected from seven fertile buffalo ( Bubalus bubalis ) bulls....

Closed-Form Solutions and Stability of Delayed Discrete Matrix Equations with Second-Order Differences and Multiple Delays

This paper presents a new technique for finding explicit solutions to multi-delay linear discrete matrix equations. The method suggested here does not need the coefficient matrices to commute with each other or the coefficient matrices and the nonhomogeneous term. The fundamental...

Silymarin and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Attenuate Experimental Colon Cancer in Rats Through Crosstalk of miR-192 and β-Catenin Pathways

Colon cancer (CC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Although chemotherapy remains the primary treatment, its toxicity and drug resistance highlight the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Silymarin (Sily), a natural compound, and zinc oxide nanopar...

Synthetic Biology and Soft Robotics in Biohybrid Kidney Replacement: A Conceptual Framework and Translational Roadmap

ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease necessitates safer, more continuous kidney replacement therapies (KRT), yet current dialysis and transplantation are constrained by intermittent treatment, organ scarcity, and immunosuppression‐related complications. Methods This concept...

Synergistic dual-potential pseudocapacitance of in situ grown NixSy-CuS nanospheres on laser-induced graphene for next-generation wearable electronics

Wearable electronic textiles are promising platforms for integrating flexible energy-storage devices into daily life. In this study, a high-performance nickel and copper sulfides nanostructure was directly grown on laser-induced graphene (LIG) through a simple binder-free process...

Intratumor microbiota in thyroid cancer: emerging insights into tumorigenesis and therapeutic potential

Thyroid cancer incidence has risen sharply in recent decades, yet the mechanisms underlying tumor development and progression remain incompletely understood. Recent evidence reveals that tumors, including thyroid malignancies, harbor distinct microbial communities, termed intratu...

Using Brain Organoids to Explore Human Neurobiology

Abstract One of the major challenges in neuroscience is understanding how the human brain develops into a highly organized and functionally integrated organ, because many developmental processes cannot be investigated directly in humans and are not fully recapitulated in animal m...

Efficacy of early blood purification on serum inflammatory mediators in severe acute pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is the most critical form of acute pancreatitis (AP), characterized by a dysregulated systemic inflammatory response that drives early organ failure and mortality. Current management remains mainly supportive. Early blood purification (EBP) has bee...

PLGA-loaded puerarin attenuates arsenic-induced liver injury through modulation of ferroptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptotic signaling

Arsenic (AR) is an environmental and mining occupational toxicant with reported hepatotoxic effects. Ferroptosis has recently emerged as a critical mechanism involved in arsenic-induced hepatotoxicity. This study investigated the hepatoprotective effects of puerarin (PU) and its...
