Background: Research indicates SARS-CoV originated from civet cats, while the zoonotic source of SARS-CoV-2 is still unidentified. Initial infection control measures reduced hospital transmission, but factors like test sensitivity limitations, symptomatic patient risks, nebulizer use, inconsistent eye protection, variable mask use, shared accommodations, and the index patient’s placement in a positive-pressure room contributed to significant…

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy frequently associated with growth failure. A gluten-free diet (GFD) usually allows catch-up growth. Lack of response suggests an associated condition, particularly growth hormone (GH) deficiency.

Objective: To describe the clinical, biological, and outcome characteristics of patients with CD associated with GH deficiency.

Methods: This retrospective study…

The management of large-scale dam systems requires the integration of hydraulic control and downstream geotechnical stability. This study evaluates the emergency discharge operations at the Euphrates Dam during the May 2026 high-flow event, where discharge rates reached 800–1000 m³/s following reservoir storage levels exceeding 97%. Using the Manning equation for open channel flow and shear stress analysis (τ = γyS), this research assesses the hydraulic performance and the resulting erosion…

Background: Physical exercise includes recreational activities, mobility modes like walking or cycling, employment, domestic tasks, games, sports, or organized exercise, depending on the situation.

Aim: Evaluate the effect of exercise regime on women BMI and infertility among women with poly cystic ovary syndrome.

Subjects and Methods: A purposive sample of 116 overweight, obesity and infertile women was selected. An…

Introduction: Intra-capsular hip fractures may present on a spectrum from clinical suspicion of an un-displaced fracture on the radiograph, to off-ended with no overlap between fracture fragments. Existing classification systems such as AO, Garden, and Pauwels classifications attempt to describe this, but they rely purely on the Antero-Posterior (AP) radiograph. These classifications have all been found to be unreliable. In this study we propose a new classification system…

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease for which the goal is disease remission or near-remission on a treat-to-target basis. Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) represents a new era as an alternative to drug-resistant therapy, providing evidence of the anti inflammatory neuroimmunological (NIM) effect of vagal stimulation along with the restoration of autonomic nervous system balance.

Objective: We aimed to assess…

Background: Breast cancer stages include lobular carcinoma in situ, which is often not classified as cancer, but rather lobular neoplasia. Mammography is recommended for screening without obvious symptoms. Treatment options include hormone therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapy. Surgery is the most popular course, with various techniques like lumpectomy and mastectomy. Chemotherapy is a medication-based treatment that kills or inhibits cancer…

This study evaluates the suitability of 190 respondents for the teaching profession applying the Holland RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) Model using FIKR (facet, insight, knowledge, and resilience) Profiling Assessment Tool. The findings reveal that 65 respondents (34.2%) demonstrate high social traits, essential for student interaction and support, while 52 (27.4%) exhibit high Artistic traits, contributing to innovative teaching methods.…

The article describes a process of glass fiber production, technological properties of glass fiber, and areas of its industrial application. The operating principle of the M7213 detector scintillation probe (Mesacon Messelektronik, GmbH Dresden) level detector is described. It contains a block of a radioactive source ionizing radiation of Cs-137, a block for recording gamma radiation (detector) and a block for processing information indicating the level of glass mass in the preliminary…

Background: Adult immunization remains underutilized despite its proven benefits. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) play a pivotal role in vaccination implementation, yet their knowledge levels may vary significantly.

Objective: To assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding adult vaccination schedules among HCPs in a tertiary care hospital of West Uttar Pradesh.

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional…
