Excessive irrigation fluid intravasation is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of operative hysteroscopy.

A 46-year-old woman underwent hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy under general anesthesia using normal saline as the uterine distension medium. During surgery, an abrupt decrease in end-tidal carbon dioxide accompanied by progressive oxygen desaturation prompted a broad differential diagnosis, and subsequent arterial blood gas analysis revealed severe…

This study evaluated the physiological effects of dietary supplementation of Acalypha wilkesiana Leaf Powder (AWLP) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) on the haematology, serum biochemistry, and serum mineral profiles of matured rabbit bucks. Fifty matured crossbred bucks (New Zealand White×Chinchilla), weight-balanced and acclimatized for two weeks, were randomly assigned to five distinct dietary treatments (n=10 per treatment) in a Completely Randomized Design. Treatment 1 (T1) received a basal…

The search for viable, non-antibiotic alternatives in poultry nutrition has intensified focus on both microbial and phytogenic feed additives to optimize gut health and production efficiency. This study evaluated the comparative effects of Bacillus subtilis probiotic (Gallipro Max) and Abutilon indicum Leaf Powder (AILP) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant status, and carcass traits of Ross 307 broiler chickens. A 42-day feeding trial was conducted using 500…

Minocycline, a semi-synthetic, second-generation tetracycline antibiotic, has long been a cornerstone in the treatment of various infectious diseases and, notably, acne vulgaris [1, 2]. Its primary mechanism of action involves binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis [3]. However, contemporary research has revealed that Minocycline possesses significant pleiotropic effects that extend far beyond its antimicrobial properties, including potent…

The desire to improve physical appearance is universal, and contemporary approaches typically rely on cosmetics, skincare products, or cosmetic surgery. In contrast, Buddhist teachings propose that one's appearance is closely connected to one's mental state, moral conduct, and karmic conditions. This article presents the case of a Buddhist practitioner who experienced a remarkable transformation in both character and appearance following sustained Buddhist cultivation. Prior to learning…

Scientific reproducibility has become a major concern across multiple research disciplines, particularly following reports that many published findings in biomedical sciences could not be independently replicated. However, the universal application of strict reproducibility standards across all scientific disciplines may overlook the inherent complexity and variability of ecological and biological systems. This commentary reflects upon two population genetic studies of the green-lipped…

Recent concerns involving cancer cases among hospital staffs in Malaysia, particularly those working in radiation-related units, have triggered legal action and public debate. As an ecotoxicologist, this situation is not unfamiliar. It reflects a broader and recurring challenge in environmental health sciences: the difficulty of linking chronic, low-dose exposure to long-term biological outcomes. This commentary reflects on the scientific, ethical, and institutional dimensions of such cases.…

This study assessed the acceptability of Motion Sickness Goggles as a balance rehabilitation tool among licensed physical therapists. Guided by the Cognitive Load Theory, a quantitative descriptive research design was used. Data were collected from 30 licensed physical therapists with at least two years of experience in balance rehabilitation using a researcher‑made survey questionnaire. Statistical tools included frequency, percentage, and weighted mean, with a 5‑point Likert scale for…

Poor posture among college students has become a growing health concern due to prolonged sitting and the widespread use of conventional classroom armchairs that provide inadequate ergonomic support. Extended exposure to poor sitting posture may contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort, spinal misalignment, fatigue, and reduced functional performance. Although ergonomic furniture has been recommended to address these issues, replacing existing classroom furniture is often financially…

Astroblastoma is a rare, well-circumscribed neuroepithelial central nervous system tumor that predominantly affects children, young adults, and females, accounting for 0.45% to 2.8% of all primary brain gliomas. At the molecular level, its defining pathognomonic hallmark is the rearrangement of the MN1 (Meningioma 1) gene located on chromosome 22q12.1. This genetic alteration typically results in oncogenic fusions with various partner genes, most frequently BEND2 or CXXC5, which serve as…
