Pre-school hilly and forest-dense ethnic children nutrition

Child under nutrition is a serious issue and burning public health problem worldwide. Pre-school children usually require special care. It is evident that pre-school children suffer highest prevalence of mortality and sufferings of disease. If malnutrition starts in early stages of life it is difficult to recover. According to World Health Organization under nutrition of children requires immediate attention.

Short comment on COVID-19 pandemic in Mongolia

Mongolia is located between Russia to the north and China to the south, where it neighbors the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The total population in Mongolia is about 3.3 million and nearly half of the people live in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and in other provincial centers.

Complementary examinations of TMJ: A challenge!

One of the major problems in diagnosing and interpreting symptoms at TMD is the difficulty of properly visualizing and understanding what is happening within them. This is due to the fact that this complex structure includes hard tissues (bone) and soft tissues (disc, ligaments, synovial membrane). These structures have different densities and are difficult to visualize with a single imaging technique (exploration).

Acute type A aortic dissection in a patient testing positive for Influenza A

Acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening condition, leading to rapid fatality if not promptly treated. The risk for Type A aortic dissection is increased in patients with preexisting thoracic aortic aneurysms, but specific triggering events leading to acute aortic dissection are incompletely understood. Our recent research suggests that influenza may be a risk factor for ATAAD by demonstrating a relationship between regional influenza activity and hospital admissions for ATAAD.

Review on main vector and trypanosomosis control methods and future impact of the disease in economically vulnerable ethiopian  farmers

Before the discovery of insecticide chemicals most of the time the rural community living in tsetse belt areas were forced to conduct bush clearing using fires, destroy forests and forest galleries for the well-being of their and their animal’s health. Tsetse flies are vectors of trypanosomes transmitting the disease called Nagana in cattle and sleeping sickness in human in these Glossina infested or belt areas.

Attaining highest honors: A study proposal for the medical student’s honors bar expectancy and values changes within medical education

Expectancy-Value theory was originally proposed by John William Atkinson in the 1950s and 60s as an attempt to understand different behaviors of students including persistence, decision making when given multiple opportunities to choose from, and the effort of striving for success.

Perceived sensory dimensions: Key aesthetic qualities for health-promoting urban green spaces

The importance of urban green areas to support people’s health and wellbeing has been confirmed by many studies [1]. In addition to regulating functions regarding water, air, and climate, urban green spaces can also contribute through psychologically driven pathways to, e.g., aid restoration from stress and attention fatigue and to promote physical activity (ibid.).

Adjusting the carbohydrates consumption and improving specific-soccer skills

Clearly, elite soccer athletes can lose performance as the time matches comes to an end, due to fatigue, match intensity, dehydration, and also, oftentimes, due to poor nutrition or poor supply of energy through carbohydrates.

Video recorded neonaticide by Takin parturients

The conspecific killing of offspring by nonparental individuals occurs broadly in the animal kingdom, from invertebrates to mammals. It includes neonaticide if a neonate is killed on the first day of the birth, and infanticide if such tragedy occurs in the first year of life. As for the occurrences in mammals, they have been recorded on the rodents, artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates), carnivores, perissodactyls (odd-toed ungulates), and primates.

The biomedical implications of living off-Earth

Not long ago, the prospect of humans living off-Earth seemed like science fiction. In sixty years of human space flight, fewer than 600 people have been to low Earth orbit, and just 12 have stood on the surface of another world. The cost and difficulty of liberating humans from the grip of gravity put dreams of living off-Earth on ice. Yet that is rapidly changing [1]. Space entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are perfecting reusable rockets that can ferry people more frequently and cheaply into orbit, and Musk’s company Space-X has announced plans for a large rocket to ferry people to Mars. 

The relationship between poor oral health and poor general health in Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples

It is impossible to conceive of oral health outside of general health. Evidence suggests that both the short- and long-term systemic diseases are associated with poor oral health, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, respiratory disease in particular for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Commentary: SARS-CoV-2 new variants: Characteristic features and impact on the efficacy of different vaccines

A recent article published by Abbas et al. in the Journal of Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy systematically revealed about the vaccines developed against the recent pandemic agents SARS-CoV-2 and its variants [1]. The authors insightfully provided an overview on the distinct features of the SARS-CoV-2 new variants, the associated mortality rate, hospitalization, re-infection and finally the efficacy of different vaccines.

Cell therapies for neonatal encephalopathy: On the question of dose, route of administration, timing, and single versus multiple doses

The optimal range of cell dose, route of administration, and timing for the treatement of neonatal encephalopathy are not known. However, it is not practical to systematically interrogate all combinations of these variables in animal models to define the optimal cell therapy protocol. Despite this limitation, a number of trends are present in the literature that should be considered when designing future clinical and preclinical trials.

Syndrome similar to Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia (FHH) produced in mice deleted of the gene encoding transient receptor potential canonical channel 1 (TRPC1)

We recently found that global deletion of TRPC1 produces phenotypes similar to FHH. These TRPC1 null mice have mildly elevated serum Ca in both fasted and unfasted conditions from 3.5 through 21.5 months of age, and inappropriately elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. They also have hypocalciuria, similar to FHH patients.

A longing for flawless awakening from general anesthesia

Anesthetic recovery can be a critical period since neurocognitive problems such as agitation and delirium are often seen during the early recovery phase. We recently demonstrated that an α2-adrenergic agonist dexmedetomidine-induced unconsciousness and accompanying brain dynamics changes were completely and instantly reversed by the α2-adrenergic antagonist in the nonhuman primate model.

The ergogenic supplements recommendations also apply to the elite soccer player

Whilst the performance enhancement effects of ergogenic supplements have been well-established, there are only limited reports for their use in the training and performance evaluation in soccer players. Here, we summarize the results through literature research and present them in a more abstracted form for the scientific community.

Blending into the crowd: electrophysiological evidence of gestalt perception of a human dyad: extended discussion and theoretical viewpoint

In this commentary, we provide further discussion and interpretation of a recent article entitled “Blending into the Crowd: Electrophysiological Evidence of Gestalt Perception of a Human Dyad”, published one year ago by the first author of the present commentary. Firstly, drawing a parallel between the experiment described in the above article and another closely comparable experimental study, we propose that the neural integration process evidenced when seeing two human shapes close in space is a marker of the categorization of a stimulus as a group of humans (two here) represented as an entity per se.

Human and Earth evolution through CO2: Perspective for climate crisis

Although human civilization has developed through genomic evolution, including its fingernail-functional cooperation, the daily lives of humans have resulted in a significant amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) being released into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, which started almost 200 years ago. Recently, climate change has been documented to have spread globally.

Could in vivo histological and gene expression analysis of aged skin be useful for pointing new paths for cosmetics development?

Skin aging is related to intrinsic or chronological and extrinsic or environmental factors. Oxidative stress, with generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), occurs during oxidative cell metabolism, mostly on mitochondria, and it is aggravated by chronic exposition to Ultra-Violet (UV)B (short wavelength) and UVA (long wavelength) sun radiations.

Prognostic impact of mildly decreased renal function after multivessel coronary revascularization: A mini-review

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Such cardiovascular risk is not limited to those with advanced renal disease, as even patients with early stages of renal dysfunction show increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
