Incretins beyond weight and hyperglycemia management: a consensus statement by AASD

Abstract Background The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, with 3 billion adults projected to be affected by 2030. Recent advances in anti-obesity pharmacotherapy, particularly incretin-based medications, have transformed obesity management. This consensus provides e...

Techno-economic and environmental assessment of HFO, LNG, and ammonia under the red sea crisis and IMO carbon pricing: an OPEX-based multi-scenario analysis of Suez Canal and Cape of Good Hope routing

Abstract The maritime shipping industry faces increasing pressure to decarbonise, with alternative fuels emerging as key pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study develops an operational expenditure -based multi-scenario framework to evaluate the techno-economic and...

Hesperetin-Loaded PLGA Nanoparticles Ameliorate Cisplatin-Induced Oxidative Stress and Testicular Dysfunction in Rats: Association with NRF2/HO-1, NF-κB, and ACSL4/GPX4/SLC7A11 Signaling Modulation

Background: Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent whose gonadotoxic effects, largely driven by oxidative stress and inflammation, pose a major threat to male reproductive health. This study evaluated whether hesperetin (HES) and hesperetin-loaded poly (lactic-co-glyco...

Evaluation of the new Egyptian undergraduate medical program from the perspectives of faculty and institutional leadership: a nationwide, mixed-method study

Abstract Background In response to global calls for medical education reform, Egypt restructured its national undergraduate medical education program from a 6 + 1 model to a competency-based “5 + 2” model. This reformed program emphasizes early clinical exposure, integration of b...

Workplace civility climate and its relationship with organizational citizenship behavior and intention to stay among nurses

Abstract Background A workplace civility climate is a critical factor in shaping healthy nursing work environments. It influences nurses’ organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and intention to stay, yet evidence from many healthcare systems, including Egypt, remains limited....

Corneal Allograft Intrastromal Ring Segment (CAIRS) in Modern Practice for Management of Keratoconus

IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECTS OF CURCUMIN COMBINED WITH PIPERINE ON INDUCED CARCINOGENESIS IN HAMSTER BUCCAL POUCH

Abstract Objective: Curcumin (Cu) exhibits antitumor and anti-inflammatory activity in oral carcinogenesis but has limited clinical translation due to poor bioavailability, which piperine (Pip) can improve. This study evaluated the antitumor and immunomodulatory effects of intrap...

Autoimmune diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract: clinical patterns, imaging spectrum, and complications

Autoimmune diseases frequently involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and can present with nonspecific symptoms that delay diagnosis. Their manifestations range from subtle motility disturbances to life-threatening ischemia, perforation, or obstruction. Advances in cross-section...

Designing Human-Centric GenAI for Medical Hospitality: A Prototype-Based Approach

This paper explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to transform medical hospitality underpinned by service-dominant logic and technology acceptance model. This paper examines how GenAI-enabled systems can bridge the divide between healthcare and hospi...

Comparative thermodynamic assessment of plasma gasification and plasma pyrolysis of livestock‐derived agricultural waste for syngas production

Abstract This study presents a thermodynamic assessment of the plasma conversion of livestock‐derived agricultural waste, represented by dried mixed manure, using the TERRA equilibrium program. Plasma gasification and plasma pyrolysis were compared within a unified modeling frame...
