Exploring the association between anhedonia and nicotine dependence: A study among female undergraduate students in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Nicotine dependence and its psychological foundations, including anhedonia, are major public health issues, especially among young adults. There is a dearth of knowledge regarding nicotine dependence and anhedonia especially among female young adults. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the associations between anhedonia and nicotine dependence among female undergraduate students.

Montelukast's potential as a neuroprotective agent against acrylamide induced neurotoxicity: In vivo and computational modelling.

Tobacco consumption, a leading cause of over 8 million deaths annually, exposes individuals to acrylamide (ACY), a neurotoxin in cigarette smoke that disrupts neurotransmitter function and induces oxidative stress, contributing to neurodegeneration. This study evaluated neuroprotective potential of montelukast (MTLU), a leukotriene receptor antagonist with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, against ACY-induced neurotoxicity. Cognitive performance was assessed using elevated plus maze, novel object recognition, and Y-maze tests over 14 days.

The relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and emotional manipulation among health colleges students: a cross-sectional correlational study.

Emotional intelligence is commonly associated with career success. Employees with higher emotional intelligence tend to reap greater benefits. However, emotional manipulation has been reported as a dark side of emotional intelligence, which refers to the self-perceived ability to control the emotions and actions of others for self-benefit.

Proteomics Analysis of Proteotoxic Stress Response in In-Vitro Human Neuronal Models.

Heat stroke, a hazardous hyperthermia-related illness, is characterized by CNS injury, particularly long-lasting brain damage. A root cause for hyperthermic neurological damage is heat-induced proteotoxic stress through protein aggregation, a known causative agent of neurological disorders. Stress magnitude and enduring persistence are highly correlated with hyperthermia-associated neurological damage.

The Role of Knowledge on Nursing Students' Attitudes toward Organ Donation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Nursing students constitute the future nursing workforce; their knowledge can readily influence potential donors' decisions on organ donation. This study aimed to assess nursing students' knowledge of organ donation, determine its impact on their attitude, and identify relevant factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study assessed the level of knowledge and attitude toward organ donation among nursing students using the following two questionnaires: (1) knowledge about organ donation and (2) attitudes toward posthumous organ donation.

The Relationship between Happiness and Mental Health among Saudi Women.

The happiness and mental health of individuals are crucial for national developments. In Saudi Arabia, wellbeing occupies a central position in Vision 2030, along with women's empowerment. Rapidly changing rights and responsibilities might result in more sources of stress.
