This study suggests that high olive oil intake may have a role in maintaining body weight.

This study provides baseline data on the intake of olive oil in a Saudi cohort aged 20-30 years. This study suggests that high olive oil intake may have a role in maintaining body weight.

Despite the high magnitude of drowning, medical care-seeking behaviours among drowning casualties remain unexplored in Bangladesh. This study aimed to explore this behaviour among drowning casualties in Bangladesh.

A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 299,216 rural and urban residents.

From the survey, we found 191 drowning cases 40.84% (n=78) were fatal and 59.16% (n=113) were non-fatal. Among the drowning cases, 71.2% (n=136) were referred to healthcare providers, while 62.8% (n=120) received medical care from different health service providers. Further analysis showed that 66.6% (n=116) of children and 26.6% (n=4) of adults sought healthcare. As many as 78.9% (n=120/152) of rural residents sought healthcare, as compared to 61.5% (n=24/39) of urban residents. Among all drowning casualties, 31.7% (n=38) received healthcare from a qualified healthcare provider, whereas 68.3% (n=82) received it from non-qual]ified healthcare providers. About 59 (49%) casualties received care from a pharmacy and 34 (28%) from a recognised hospital. The hospital admission rate for drowning was 11.7%. About 14 (11.7%) drowning casualties were brought to hospitals in motorised or non-motorised vehicles. As many as 97 (80.8%) patients sought healthcare attention and managed to survive.

A significant number of drowning casualties sought medical care from qualified and non-qualified healthcare providers. selleck In Bangladesh, it is necessary to develop guidelines for providing medical care for drowning casualties.

The strategies of tissue-engineering led to the development of living cell-based therapies to repair lost or damaged tissues, including periodontal ligament and to construct biohybrid implant. This work aimed to isolate human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and implant them on fabricated polycaprolactone (PCL) for the regeneration of natural periodontal ligament (PDL) tissues.

hPDLSCs were harvested from extracted human premolars, cultured, and expanded to obtain PDL cells. A PDL-specific marker (periostin) was detected using an immunofluorescent assay. Electrospinning was applied to fabricate PCL at three concentrations (13%, 16%, and 20% weight/volume) in two forms, which were examined through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The isolated hPDLSCs were implanted on the fabricated PCL. After 21 days, FESEM was conducted to evaluate the implanted scaffolds, and an MTT assay was performed to characterize the biological response of the PCL scaffold at different cell exposure durations (24, 48, and 72 h).

Periostin was expressed in the expanded PDL cells, and this result revealed that 20% weight/volume PCL scaffold with a pore size of more than 10 μm was the best. The growth rates of PDLSCs were high. Cytotoxicity test of fabricated PCL scaffold demonstrated no significant change in the cell viability when compared with the negative control and no deteriorating or inhibitory effect on growth after different durations.

A cell sheet was successfully formed by using PCL as a scaffold to cover dental implants and promote PDL cell attachment, proliferation, and growth for biohybrid implant construction.

This study examined variations in the termination level of the radial nerve (RN) and the morphometry of the RN and its branches at potential compression sites. Additionally, we digitally analysed histological sections of the RN, the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN), and the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN).

We conducted this study on 14 formalin fixed adult cadavers. The lengths of the RN, SBRN, and PIN were measured up to potential compression sites, using appropriate surface skeletal landmarks as reference points. We histologically evaluated the fascicular and non-fascicular areas and the number of axons in each nerve. All parameters were statistically analysed using a paired t-test.

We found variations in the bifurcation of the RN with respect to the biepicondylar line (BEL). However, the course of RN terminal branches was constant in the forearm. There was a significant histological difference between the fascicular and non-fascicular areas of the PIN. There was no significant difference in the total number of axons in the SBRN and PIN. Finally, we observed that the intramuscular length of the PIN within the supinator muscle was variable and that the SBRN had more fascicles compared to the RN and PIN.

In our study, the RN and PIN had more variable morphometry compared to that of the SBRN. The histologic evaluation and quantification of these nerves at their potential compression sites could serve as a guide for surgeons planning nerve reconstruction procedures.
