Article Abstract
Unlabelled: (NS) has been used for centuries in various inflammatory conditions because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and antioxidant activity of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) in two models of acute (carrageenan-induced) and sub-acute inflammation (complete Freund's adjuvant induced) in rats.
Materials And Methods: NSO was administered orally 1, 2 and 4 mL/kg in the acute phase. For subacute phase, NSO was administered 4 mL/kg, 7 days before or after inflammation induction, or in association with diclofenac 5 mg/kg.
Results: The gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis showed that NSO is an important source of bioactive compounds, especially p-cymene and thymoquinone. In the acute phase, 1.5 h after administration, NSO (2 and 4 mL/kg) determined an anti-inflammatory effect comparable with that of diclofenac. In the sub-acute administration, NSO had no anti-inflammatory effect. The analgesic effect of NSO was observed only in the sub-acute inflammation in the analgesy-meter test. NSO as treatment proved its antioxidant effect through the reduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and increases in hydrogen donor capacity (DH) compared to the control group, but the effect was not as intense as that of diclofenac.
Conclusion: The present study has proven inconstant anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidative properties of NSO.

The aim of this study is to provide valuable knowledge for developing a biological material effective in recovering and removing metals from solutions. Yeast was used as the base material. Yeast, a homogeneous material with a rigid cell wall, is inexpensive, readily available (it can even be obtained from brewer's waste), and amenable to chemical and genetic modification.

Parenting behaviors are studied through various qualitative and quantitative methods, including observations, interviews, and questionnaires, to identify both culturally specific and universal patterns of parents' interactions with their offspring. However, these methods have rarely been combined to systematically investigate methodological convergence and divergence in capturing parenting dynamics. The present study employs a mixed method approach by including video observations, picture card interviews, and parenting ethnotheory questionnaires with a focus on a suburban Nso community in Cameroon, with 51 parents ( = 34 years; 43 mothers and eight fathers) of infants and toddlers ( = 8.

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding, defined as breastfeeding within one hour of birth, is a critical indicator of optimal infant feeding practices with substantial health benefits for mothers and infants. Early initiation of breastfeeding rates in Thailand has declined over the past decade, necessitating an investigation into the underlying determinants. Therefore, this study aimed to identify trends in early initiation of breastfeeding prevalence and examine associated factors using national survey data from Thailand.

This study investigates how phospholipid headgroups influence passive membrane penetration and structural impact of four nitrogen-, sulfur-, and oxygen-containing heterocycles (NSO-HETs)-N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (PIR), 1,4-dioxane (DIOX), oxane (OXA), and phenol (PHE). Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations combined with Accelerated Weight Histogram free energy calculations, the passive transport of NSO-HETs across DPPC, DPPE, DPPA, and DPPG bilayers was characterized. DPPG showed the highest membrane affinity, increasing permeability (logP) by 27-64% compared to DPPE, associated with the lowest permeability and tightest lipid packing.

Background: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) presents a significant public health challenge. Although the prevalence of SO is on the rise, there is a notable paucity of research examining the impact of SO on weight loss efficacy following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Purpose: To investigate the impact of SO on weight loss outcomes and recurrent weight gain following LSG.
