BACKGROUND: The Metabolic syndrome (MetS), refers to one of the most challenging public health issues across the world. The aim of this study was to explore the clusters of participants on the basis of MetS components and determine its effect on coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS: This study used the information fr…

BACKGROUND: Car painting workers are at risk of health problems, particularly kidney disorders, due to exposure to solvents containing benzene as the main ingredient in the car painting process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between benzene and Risk Quotient (RQ) benzene concentrat…

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have used sparse classifications to predict categorical variables from high-dimensional brain activity signals to expose human's mental states and intentions, selecting the relevant features automatically in the model training process. However, existing sparse classification models will likely…

BACKGROUND: Higher participation of women in randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) has not led to significantly improved reporting of sex-stratified results. A recent evidence map of research on women veterans revealed that many studies did not report results by sex or gender. This study's objectives were to compare cha…

Understanding the role of people in occupational accidents is very difficult. It is always assumed that people perform the behaviour that feels right to them. This study's main topic is the relationship between values, which form the basis of human behaviour, and safety motivation, fatalistic tendencies, risk perceptio…

Significant challenges confronting China include reducing carbon emissions, dealing with the resulting problems, and meeting various requirements for long-term economic growth. As a result, the shift in industrial structure best reflects how human society utilizes resources and impacts the environment. To meet China's…

PURPOSE: Influenza infection induces cardiovascular events in heart failure (HF) patients, with potential risk reduction through vaccination. This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination for HF patients in China. METHODS: We developed a Markov model with a 3-month cycle to simulate the c…

BACKGROUND: The Central African Republic (CAR) is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of viral hepatitis infection in the world. Coinfection with HIV increases the morbidity and mortality beyond that of mono-infection with either hepatitis or HIV. The present study describes the geographic distribution of…

INTRODUCTION: In many fields, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about paradigm change by enabling computer systems to do activities that were previously limited to human participation. OBJECTIVES: The study's primary focus is to evaluate responses generated through Chat-Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatG…

BACKGROUND: This study's purpose was to assess whether the weekday on which intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is initiated influences survival outcomes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1440 patients with NPC who received IMRT were enrolled in this study between J…

BACKGROUND: Iran is a significant consumer of opium, and, generally, of opioids, in the world. Addiction is one of the important issues of the 21st century and is an imperative issue in Iran. Long-term consumption of opioids affects homeostasis. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of opium and heroin consumption on se…

In this study, the concentrations of trace metals were examined in commercially important fish,andfrom Osu reservoir. These were with a view to providing baseline information on the levels of heavy metals and its associated risks to human health through fish consumption. Fish samples were collected fortnightly for five…

OBJECTIVE: African Horse Sickness (AHS) is a vector-borne disease endemic to sub-Saharan Africa caused by African Horse Sickness Virus (AHVS). Infections in naïve horses have high morbidity and mortality rates. AHS pathogenesis is not well understood; neither the hematologic changes nor acute phase response occurr…

INTRODUCTION: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. In addition, it accounted for approximately 10 million deaths in 2020 alone.

BACKGROUND: Exposure to outdoor air pollution has been linked to lung cancer, and suspicion arose regarding bladder, kidney, and urinary tract cancer (urological cancers). However, most of evidence comes from occupational studies; therefore, little is known about the effect of exposure to air pollution on the risk of u…

The current study's objective was to elucidate some currently unknown biological indicators to evaluate the biological nature of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). For this purpose, four different CAFs, CAFS1, CAFS2, SCC17F and MO-1000, were established using surgical specimens from oral squamous cell carcinomas (OS…

The study's objective was to obtain silver nanoparticles (SVAgNP and FUAgNP) using aqueous extracts ofand. The optimal conditions for nanoparticle synthesis were determined and obtained; nanoparticles were then characterized using UV-Vis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), D…

Umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (UC-BSCs) are cells with low immunogenicity and differentiation potential, and the transfer of exosomes carried by UC-BSCs can regulate innate and adaptive immunity and affect immune homeostasis. This is an area of focus for autoimmune illnesses such as systemic lupus erythem…
