Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is among the most common surgical procedures performed in sports medicine to restore knee stability and functional performance after ligament rupture [1, 2]. The hamstring tendon autograft is widely used because it provides strong fixation, fewer anterior knee complications, and good long-term outcomes compared with patellar tendon grafts [3, 4]. However, the harvest of the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons creates donor site deficits that…

This study focuses on the key issues related to the entrepreneurial psychology of Chinese private entrepreneurs, aiming to reveal its internal mechanisms and propose effective solutions. By employing a literature analysis method, we systematically review the entrepreneurial motivations of Chinese private entrepreneurs, the developmental history of entrepreneurial psychology, and provide examples of poor risk management in entrepreneurship. We also discuss the importance of social…

Background: Antithyroid Drugs (ATDs) are widely used for hyperthyroidism but can rarely cause idiosyncratic neutropenia and agranulocytosis, potentially leading to life-threatening infections.

Objective: To summarize the definition, epidemiology, clinical features, and management of ATD induced neutropenia and agranulocytosis.

Methods: Review of international literature and local data from the University Hospitals of…

With age, mutations and damage to DNA accumulate, disrupting the normal functioning of cells, the hormonal and genetic systems, and the body as a whole. The synergy between the hormonal and genetic systems and the body's energetic connection with nature are disrupted. This leads to accelerated aging. As the body ages, cells lose their ability to divide due to the fraying of chromosome ends, which shorten with each division. The lifespan of cells and the body itself is shortened. The future…

The research problem is the lack of a comprehensive comparative analysis of dairy barn designs, making the selection of the optimal model that balances sustainability and animal welfare complex. The importance of the study lies in developing an evidence-based analytical framework to support the adoption of efficient and sustainable barns that contribute to improving productivity and reducing environmental impact. The study aims to identify the optimal barn design model by reviewing the…

The energy of the sound wave reaching the receptor via the Bekesy traveling wave theory was analyzed. In wave motion, the vibrations of a vibrating element that transmits sound waves and has mass are associated with the occurrence of the phenomenon of inertia. In the middle ear, such vibrations involve the middle ear ossicles that conduct sound waves to the oval window. According to Bekesy's theory, in the inner ear the vibrations of elements having mass concern the basilar membrane with the…

Background: Aluminum phosphide is frequently used as a rodenticide and to preserve grain. There is a significant risk of aluminum phosphide self-poisoning because of its simple accessibility and lack of control. The fatality rate from aluminum phosphide intoxication is significant, and there is currently no known counteragent. There aren't many studies on aluminum phosphide poisoning in Ethiopia, despite its high frequency and fatality rate. This narrative review's aim is to…

Tunisian aquaculture has experienced remarkable growth, increasing from 887 tonnes in 1990 to over 21,000 tonnes in 2023. This growth has been driven by mussel, oyster farming and freshwater fish aquaculture since the 1960s, as well as land-based research and development and offshore cage operations. The sector now encompasses marine hatcheries, cages for sea bass and sea bream, mussel, tilapia farms and inland fish aquaculture, as well as pilot projects for shrimp and seaweed. It…

Cow’s milk (CM) and its products are of great importance as food for human consumption. This study highlights the advantages and disadvantages of using CM for human health. The use of CM in nutrition has been known for a very long time and occupies a special place in nutrition. CM is a complete nutrient, provides us with energy in the form of lactose and fat, is rich in protein, the most important building block of all body cells, and contains numerous vitamins and minerals, especially…

The integration of circular economy principles into industrial processes is essential for achieving more sustainable materials. This study aimed to develop functional starch-based films by exploring the bioactive properties of vine shoot trimmings (VST) and spent hops (SH). Aqueous extraction of VST and SH (dried and fresh) was performed at 3%, 5% and 10% biomass at 50°C. The resulting extract was mixed with cationized starch and glycerol to prepare the films formulations, followed by drying…
