Rabies and rabies prophylaxis in Egypt: a nationwide cross-sectional study that calls for action

BACKGROUND: Rabies is a fatal but preventable viral disease that poses a global health threat, especially in developing countries. Despite the high incidence of animal bites reported annually in Egypt, limited data exist regarding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of...

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Motor Function of Upper Extremity in Adults with Chronic Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BackgroundUpper limb motor dysfunctions are common after stroke affecting daily activities. About 60% of survivors still have impairment despite rehabilitation.ObjectiveTo assess the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) on upper limb motor function i...

Surface texturing-induced Interface engineering in Ag/ In2S3/B-Si heterojunctions: Morphological evolution, impedance response, and charge transport mechanisms

The influence of In 2 S 3 /B-Si interface engineering on the structural, dielectric, impedance, and charge-transport properties of Ag/In 2 S 3 /B-Si/Al heterojunction diodes was systematically investigated. Boron-doped silicon wafers were textured using KOH/Isopropyl alcohol (IPA...

Two-Scale Coating-Budget Framework for Broadband Sub-6 GHz Transmission Recovery Through Commercial FTO Low-Emissivity Glazing

Low-emissivity glazing reduces heat transfer, but its continuous fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coating attenuates wireless signals. A two-scale coating-budget framework treats coating removal as a cost to minimize inside the patterned window and over the whole pane. A laboratory...

Mitigating sensor bias: a location-aware calibration framework for pedestrian analytics

Abstract The promise of data-driven urbanism is critically undermined by the unreliability of passive sensors. Raw WiFi data systematically undercounts pedestrian volumes by approximately 50% across the eight study sites, rendering it fundamentally unsuitable for strategic decisi...

The Effect of Earnings Management on Environmental, Social, and Governance ( ESG ) Performance in the MENAT Region: The Moderating Role of Corporate Governance

ABSTRACT This study investigates how earnings management (EM) influences ESG performance and whether corporate governance mechanisms shape this relationship. Drawing on agency and stakeholder perspectives, the study examines how managerial incentives and governance effectiveness...

Kinetic and thermodynamic study of faba bean hulls pyrolysis with machine learning-based bio-oil modeling

Abstract The growing global demand for sustainable, low-carbon energy has intensified research into biomass pyrolysis as a promising route for biofuel production. This study provides a comprehensive investigation of the kinetic and thermodynamic behavior of faba bean hulls, an un...

Association of smoking exposure and sociodemographic factors with histological subtypes of bronchogenic carcinoma in upper Egypt

Abstract Background Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and poses a growing public health challenge in Egypt. Histopathological subtypes show varying associations with smoking behavior and sociodemographic factors, yet data from Upper Egypt r...

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...

Aucubin Ameliorates Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Liver Injury in Association with Modulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 Antioxidant Axis and NF-κB-Associated Inflammatory and Apoptotic Signaling

Diabetes mellitus is associated with progressive hepatic injury driven by oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Aucubin, a natural iridoid glycoside, possesses potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities; however, its hepatoprotective mechanisms in diabetic liver...

Description and evaluation of ultrasound-guided infraorbital nerve block in dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius): a cadaveric study

In dromedary camels, general anesthesia is often avoided because of the risk of cardiopulmonary complications, high cost, and clinical challenges in field settings. Sedation combined with locoregional anesthesia may present a safer alternative for facial and dental interventions....

This repository contains the complete, reproducible computational pipeline, survey-weighted analytical code, tabular results, and execution provenance for the study: "Frontal versus Kors-derived Spatial QRS-T Angle and 27-Year Heart-Disease Mortality: A nationally representative...

Talaromyces marinus (Eurotiales, Trichocomaceae): a new marine fungus from the Red Sea, Egypt, with distinguished enzymatic capabilities

Abstract Background Talaromyces is a large and taxonomically important genus within Ascomycota, established to accommodate the teleomorphs of certain Penicillium species and now recognized as a monophyletic lineage distinct from Penicillium . Multigene analyses demonstrated that...

Coordinated Control of Supercapacitors and Hybrid Electric Vehicles for Frequency Regulation in Renewable Power Grids Considering Communication Delays

Integrating renewable energy sources into modern power grids enhances sustainability but reduces the inherent inertia provided by synchronous generators, leading to larger frequency fluctuations and degraded dynamic stability. To address this issue, this paper proposes an advance...

Hearing loss in rheumatoid arthritis: inflammation or hydroxychloroquine?

Abstract Background Extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) include skin, eyes, heart, lung and auditory system leading to hearing loss (HL). All types of HL were reported in RA patients. Aim First is to evaluate the effect of RA disease and Hydrochloroquine (...
