Efficiency of an intervention study on nursing students' knowledge and practices regarding nutrition and dietary habits
This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of an intervention study on nursing students' knowledge and practices regarding nutrition and dietary habits. A quasi-experimental research design with pre-post phases was used to study 250 nursing students at the College of Applied Medical Sciences, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The sample was non-randomized and taken from March 2023 until the end of May of the same year. The closed-ended questionnaire focused on participant demographics, knowledge, and practices relating to nutrition and eating habits. The survey was divided into three m...

Effects of fullerene C60 on liver tissue in liver ischemia reperfusion injury in rats undergoing sevoflurane anesthesia
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fullerene C60 on rat liver tissue in a liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model under sevoflurane anesthesia to evaluate the ability of nanoparticles to prevent hepatic complications. A total of 36 adult female Wistar Albino rats were divided into six groups, each containing six groups as follows: sham group (Group S), fullerene C60 group (Group FC60), ischemia-reperfusion group (Group IR), ischemia-reperfusion-sevoflurane group (Group IR-Sevo), ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60 group (Group IR-FC60), and ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60-sevoflurane group (Group IR-FC6...

The specter of cholera in Libya and North Africa: natural disasters and anthropization threaten human health.
ConclusionSince these events have devastating effects both on the environment and on people and their psychophysical balance, it is evident that we need to devote greater attention to the health of the planet, to which the health and survival of the human species is strictly and inextricably linked. Indeed, disasters related to phenomena of anthropization facilitate the spread of infectious diseases, placing a heavy burden on local and global health organizations and the health of entire populations. A change of course is therefore essential, in that human actions must be aimed at limiting rather than aggravating the sprea...

Assessment of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of < em > Opuntia ficus indica < /em > L. Cladodes extract
This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the methanolic extract of Opuntia ficus indica L. in small animal (rats and mice model). The current treatment for febrile conditions often involves the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can have adverse effects, particularly gastrointestinal ulcers. Therefore, there is a growing need to explore natural alternatives with fewer side effects. The study utilized various experimental models to assess the effects of the extract. The results demonstrated a significant analgesic effect of the extract, as evidenced by a reduct...

Temperature management in the intensive care unit: a practical survey from China
Conclusion: Our investigation revealed a high level of variability in the methods of temperature measurement and management among ICUs in China. Since fever is a common clinical symptom in critically ill patients and can lead to prolonged ICU stays, we propose that standardized guidelines are urgently needed for the management of body temperature (BT) in these patients.PMID:37905303 | DOI:10.1080/19932820.2023.2275416 (Source: Libyan Journal of Medicine)
