Individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) require annual assessments by an ophthalmologist to verify the presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR), facilitating the timely initiation of treatment. This study investigates the vigilance of family medicine physicians and ophthalmologists in the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy among Type II diabetic patients. A study involving 158 working-age participants diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) in Bangladesh from August 2023 to July 2024 examined the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. The study involved family medicine physicia

Researchers are looking into hydroxyapatite (HA) and decellularized bone matrix (DBM) as possible osteogenic agents in the aim of using these materials to stimulate bone growth in various defects in the bone. This study was done to investigate the effect of hydroxyapatite and Demineralized and decellularized Bone Matrix (dDBM) xenograft on fracture healing in goat. Fifteen young goats were used in this study. The animals were divided into three groups (n=5) as th

Human cases of CCHF infection were reported in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Southern and Eastern Europe, however, the disease is endemic in Iraq since 1979. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate the sero-epidemiological status of CCHF virus infection in small ruminants after a recent human outbreak in Basra Governorate, southern Iraq in 2023. Small ruminants (sheep and goats) were used as an experiment

Granulicatella spp. are non-motile, non-sporulating, facultatively anaerobic Gram-positive cocci. Throughout the literature, these organisms have been referred to by several names, such as “nutritionally deficient streptococci”, “vitamin-B dependent streptococci” and “pyridoxal-dependent streptococci”, because of their fastidious nutritional requirements, which can often make culture isolation challenging. Known to be a member of the normal microbiota of the human oral cavity and urogenital and intestinal tracts, similar to other streptococci, Granulicate

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder primarily transmitted in an autosomal-dominant manner. We distinguish two main forms of FH, which differ in the severity of the disease, namely homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). The characteristic feature of this disease is a high concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. However, the level may significantly vary between the two mentioned types of FH, and it is decidedly higher in HoFH. A chronically elevated concentration of LDL-C in
