Elevated serum homocysteine levels have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including CAD. Despite extensive research, the relationship between serum homocysteine and coronary syndromes with related short-term mortality is still under-studied. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between serum homocysteine levels and various types of CS, as well as in-hospital mortality in these patients.Patients and Methods: This multicenter study included 381 CS patients from Afghanistan, Egypt, and Pakistan tertiary care hospitals. The relation of serum homocysteine levels with different types of CS as well as with in-hospital mortality was measured and analyzed using inferential statistics (ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis test, Tukey’s post-hoc, Pearson correlation, etc.) and regression analysis (Binary regression).Results: Among 381 patients from both genders, 160 were from Pakistan, 130 from Egypt, and 91 from Afghanistan. There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics, like age, gender, homocysteine level, CS type, and mortality, among the three countries (p > 0.05). The one-way ANOVA, the Kruskal Wallis Test, and Tukey’s post hoc test showed a significant difference among different CS groups based on serum homocysteine levels, and Pearson correlation showed a strong correlation between serum homocysteine and CS (r = 0.4). Binary regression analysis showed a 10.5% increase in in-hospital mortality for each 1 μmol/L increase in homocysteine levels.Conclusion: Serum homocysteine could serve as a valuable biomarker and mortality predictor in CS patients.Keywords: serum homocysteine, coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary syndromes (CS), cardiac biomarkers, risk factors of CA
Clinical Outcomes of the Use of Custodiol versus Warm Blood Cardioplegia during Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients with Significant Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, particularly those with significant left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD), require optimal myocardial protection. The selection between Custodiol and warm blood cardioplegia remains critical in enhancing surgical outcomes and improving postoperative quality of life. This study sought to compare Custodiol and warm blood cardioplegia regarding myocardial protection during CABG surgery.
Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out on 100 patients with significant LMCAD. Patients underwent CABG surgery using either Custodiol (Group I, n= 50) or intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia (Group II, n= 50). In Group I, 13 patients were female (26%); in Group II, 15 were female (30%).
Results: Both groups had comparable preoperative demographics. Use of hemofilter [8 (16%) vs. 1 (2%), p= 0.004], DC shock [ 6 (12%) vs. 1 (2%), p= 0.037] were more common in Group I. Arrhythmia occurred more frequently in Group I intraoperatively [ 9 (18%) vs. 2 (4%), p= 0.009]. No early mortality was observed in either group. Postoperative data revealed no significant differences between the groups in vital parameters, complications, echocardiographic data, or mortality.
Conclusion: Both Custodiol and warm blood cardioplegia demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety profiles for myocardial preservation during CABG surgery in patients with significant LMCAD. Custodiol could be an effective alternative to blood cardioplegia in patients with LMCAD
Global variation in anastomosis and end colostomy formation following left-sided colorectal resection
none3427noBackground: End colostomy rates following colorectal resection vary across institutions in high-income settings, being influenced by patient, disease, surgeon and system factors. This study aimed to assess global variation in end colostomy rates after left-sided colorectal resection. Methods: This study comprised an analysis of GlobalSurg-1 and-2 international, prospective, observational cohort studies (2014, 2016), including consecutive adult patients undergoing elective or emergency left-sided colorectal resection within discrete 2-week windows. Countries were grouped into high-, middle-and low-income tertiles according to the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI). Factors associated with colostomy formation versus primary anastomosis were explored using a multilevel, multivariable logistic regression model. Results: In total, 1635 patients from 242 hospitals in 57 countries undergoing left-sided colorectal resection were included: 113 (6·9 per cent) from low-HDI, 254 (15·5 per cent) from middle-HDI and 1268 (77·6 percent) from high-HDI countries. There was a higher proportion of patients with perforated disease (57·5, 40·9 and 35·4 per cent; P < 0·001) and subsequent use of end colostomy (52·2, 24·8 and 18·9 per cent; P < 0·001) in low-compared with middle-and high-HDI settings. The association with colostomy use in low-HDI settings persisted (odds ratio (OR) 3·20, 95 per cent c.i. 1·35 to 7·57; P = 0·008) after risk adjustment for malignant disease (OR 2·34, 1·65 to 3·32; P < 0·001), emergency surgery (OR 4·08, 2·73 to 6·10; P < 0·001), time to operation at least 48 h (OR 1·99, 1·28 to 3·09; P = 0·002) and disease perforation (OR 4·00, 2·81 to 5·69; P < 0·001). Conclusion: Global differences existed in the proportion of patients receiving end stomas after left-sided colorectal resection based on income, which went beyond case mix alone.noneGlasbey, James C;

Global variation in anastomosis and end colostomy formation following left-sided colorectal resection
3427sinoneBackground: End colostomy rates following colorectal resection vary across institutions in high-income settings, being influenced by patient, disease, surgeon and system factors. This study aimed to assess global variation in end colostomy rates after left-sided colorectal resection. Methods: This study comprised an analysis of GlobalSurg-1 and-2 international, prospective, observational cohort studies (2014, 2016), including consecutive adult patients undergoing elective or emergency left-sided colorectal resection within discrete 2-week windows. Countries were grouped into high-, middle-and low-income tertiles according to the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI). Factors associated with colostomy formation versus primary anastomosis were explored using a multilevel, multivariable logistic regression model. Results: In total, 1635 patients from 242 hospitals in 57 countries undergoing left-sided colorectal resection were included: 113 (6·9 per cent) from low-HDI, 254 (15·5 per cent) from middle-HDI and 1268 (77·6 percent) from high-HDI countries. There was a higher proportion of patients with perforated disease (57·5, 40·9 and 35·4 per cent; P < 0·001) and subsequent use of end colostomy (52·2, 24·8 and 18·9 per cent; P < 0·001) in low-compared with middle-and high-HDI settings. The association with colostomy use in low-HDI settings persisted (odds ratio (OR) 3·20, 95 per cent c.i. 1·35 to 7·57; P = 0·008) after risk adjustment for malignant disease (OR 2·34, 1·65 to 3·32; P < 0·001), emergency surgery (OR 4·08, 2·73 to 6·10; P < 0·001), time to operation at least 48 h (OR 1·99, 1·28 to 3·09; P = 0·002) and disease perforation (OR 4·00, 2·81 to 5·69; P < 0·001). Conclusion: Global differences existed in the proportion of patients receiving end stomas after left-sided colorectal resection based on income, which went beyond case mix alone.noneGlasbey, James C;

Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify and map the hydrothermal alteration zones and structural lineaments that regulate the mineral occurrences in the Nuqrah region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using remote sensing and aeromagnetic data. To achieve the desired goal of the study, ASTER remote sensing data were employed, and they were processed in several ways, including principal component analysis, band ratio, and false color composites to reveal the zones of alteration and structure lineaments. In addition, aeromagnetic data was employed to map the lineaments controlling the mineralization. These datasets were integrated using GIS tools to generate a new mineralization potential map of the Nuqrah area, which was classified into three classes: low, moderate, and high probability mineralization. The results showed thirteen intriguing anomalies (high potential mineralization) dispersed over the research area to be prospected. Additionally, techniques such as residual, regional, first vertical derivative, and tilt derivative were utilized to detect the potential mineral-related geologic structures. The results were validated by plotting known mineralization sites on our maps. Six significant faulting trends have been found, according to the lineament map and rose diagrams from remote sensing: NE–SW, WNW–ESE, N–S, ENE–WSW, NNE–SSW, NW–SE, and E–W. The research region is most affected by the NW–SE, ENE–WSW, E–W, and N–S trends, which are organized in decreasing order of magnitude, according to the rose diagram of the aeromagnetic maps. The applied approach can be employed to map potential mineral deposits in Saudi Arabia and similar zones around the globe.RSP2024R496 King Saud Universit
Impacts of Effective Microorganisms, Compost Tea, Fulvic Acid, Yeast Extract, and Foliar Spray with Seaweed Extract on Sweet Pepper Plants under Greenhouse Conditions
Sweet pepperincludes several vitamins and is regarded as a great source of bioactive nutrients, such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds, for human growth and activities. This work aimed to investigate the effects of the soil addition of growth stimulants, namely, effective microorganisms (EM), compost tea, fulvic acid, and yeast extract, and foliar applications of seaweed extract, on the vegetative growth, enzyme activity, phytohormones content, chemical constituents of plant foliage, fruit yield, and fruit quality of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Zidenka) growing under greenhouse conditions. The results showed that the tallest plant, largest leaf area/plant, and heaviest plant fresh and dry weights were recorded after combining a soil addition of yeast extract and foliar spray with seaweed extracts at 3 g/L in two growing seasons. The highest number of fruit/plant, fruit yield/m2, fruit values of vitamin C (VC), total sugars, total soluble solids (TSS), and carotenoids, along with the highest leaf of cytokines, P, K, Fe, and total carbohydrates values, were obtained using a soil addition of fulvic acid and spray with seaweed extract at 3 g/L in the two seasons of study. These treatments also provided the lowest abscisic acid, peroxidase, and super oxidase dismutase values in the same conditions. Sweet pepper plants supplemented with compost tea and seaweed extract foliar spray at 3 g/L were the most promising for inducing the highest values of fruit fresh and dry weights, fruit length and diameter, and the leavesrichest in N, Zn, and Mn; inversely, it induced the lowest catalase levels in both seasons. The applications of EM, yeast extract, and seaweed extract could be applied for high growth, mineral levels, enzymatic activity, fruit yield, and nutritional value of sweet pepper fruit and minimizing environmental pollution
Dietary 1,3-β-Glucans Affect Growth, Breast Muscle Composition, Antioxidant Activity, Inflammatory Response, and Economic Efficiency in Broiler Chickens
Recently, researchers have been intensively looking for novel, safe antibiotic alternatives because of the prevalence of many clinical and subclinical diseases affecting bird flocks and the risks of using antibiotics in subtherapeutic doses as feed additives. The present study intended to evaluate the potential use of 1,3-β-glucans (GLC) as antibiotic alternative growth promotors and assessed the effect of their dietary inclusion on the growth performance, carcass traits, chemical composition of breast muscles, economic efficiency, blood biochemical parameters, liver histopathology, antioxidant activity, and the proinflammatory response of broiler chickens. This study used 200 three-day-old ROSS broiler chickens (50 chicks/group, 10 chicks/replicate, with an average body weight of 98.71 ± 0.17 g/chick). They were assigned to four experimental groups with four dietary levels of GLC, namely 0, 50, 100, and 150 mg kg−1, for a 35-day feeding period. Birds fed diets containing GLC showed an identical different growth rate to the control group. However, the total feed intake (TFI) increased quadratically in the GLC50 and GLC100 groups as compared to that in the control group. GLC addition had no significant effect on the weights of internal and immune organs, except for a decrease in bursal weight in the GLC150 group (p = 0.01). Dietary GLC addition increased the feed cost and total cost at 50 and 100 mg kg−1 doses. The percentages of n-3 and n-6 PUFA in the breast muscle of broiler chickens fed GLC-supplemented diets increased linearly in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.01). The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level and the uric acid level were quadratically increased in the GLC150 group. The serum levels of total antioxidant capacity, catalase, superoxide dismutase, interleukin-1β, and interferon-gamma linearly increased, while the MDA level decreased in the GLC-fed groups in a dose-dependent manner. Normal histological characterization of different liver structures in the different groups with moderate round cells was noted as a natural immune response around the hepatic portal area. The different experimental groups showed an average percentage of positive immunostaining to the proinflammatory marker transforming growth factor-beta with an increase in the dose of GLC addition. The results suggest that GLC up to 100 mg kg−1 concentration can be used as a feed additive in the diets of broiler chickens and shows no adverse effects on their growth, dressing percentage, and internal organs. GLC addition in diets improves the antioxidant activity and immune response in birds. GLC help enrich the breast muscle with n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids

Prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Isolated from Dairy Cattle, Milk, Environment, and Workers’ Hands
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infection in animals and humans. This study aimed to determine the ecological distribution and prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa isolated from dairy cattle, the environment, and workers’ hand swabs. Samples (n = 440) were collected from farms and households (n = 3, each). Rectal swabs, udder skin swabs, milk, workers’ hand swabs, feed, water, water sources, and beddings were collected. Samples were subjected to the bacterial identification of P. aeruginosa via 16S rRNA. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was detected either phenotypically using an antibiotic susceptibility test or genotypically with AMR resistance genes (ARGs) such as drfA, sul1, and ermB. P. aeruginosa was detected on dairy farms and households (10.3–57.5%, respectively), with an average of 23.2%. The resistance of dairy farm strains was observed against sulfamethoxazole, imipenem, cefepime, piperacillin–tazobactam, and gentamycin (100%, 72.7%, 72.7%, 68.8%, and 63.3%, respectively). Meanwhile, the resistance of household strains was observed against sulfamethoxazole, imipenem, amoxicillin, gentamicin, cefepime, and erythromycin by 91.3%, 82.6%, 75.4%, 75.4%, 68.1%, and 63.8%, respectively. The susceptibility of farm strains was detected against norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin (90.9%, 84.8%, and 72.7%, respectively). Meanwhile, the susceptibility of household strains was detected against ciprofloxacin, amikacin, and norfloxacin (100%, 84.1%, and 72.5%, respectively). About 81.4% of P. aeruginosa strains were MDR. ARGs (drfA, sul1, and ermB) were detected in farm strains (48.5%, 72.7%, and 24.4%, respectively) and household strains (50.7%, 72.5%, and 47.8%, respectively). Almost all P. aeruginosa had MAR over 0.2, indicating repeated application of antibiotics. P. aeruginosa prevalence was fivefold higher in households than on farms. MDR strains were higher amongst household strains than farm strains
Empowering nursing students during AI era: educational strategies for enhancing knowledge and acceptance of artificial intelligence
Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly permeating health systems, yet undergraduate nursing students often report limited AI literacy and uncertainty about safe, appropriate use. Aim To evaluate the effect of a standardized 10-session blended curriculum on nursing students’ AI knowledge and acceptance and to examine theory-consistent associations between knowledge and acceptance. Design One-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental study. Methods A stratified random sample of undergraduates (n=1,000) from the Faculty of Nursing, Sohag University (Egypt) completed a self-administered questionnaire at baseline and one month after the program. Outcomes were the AI Knowledge Scale (AIKS-16; 0–32) and the AI Acceptance Scale (AIA-34; 0–136) aligned with Technology Acceptance Model subdomains (Perceived Usefulness [PU], Perceived Ease of Use [PEOU], Attitude/Intention). Analyses used paired t-tests with 95% CIs and Cohen’s d; Pearson correlations; and exploratory ANCOVA adjusting for baseline to probe subgroup differences (sex, residence). Ethics approval: IRB 88-6-2023. Results Knowledge increased from 15.01±4.72 to 30.33±3.11 and acceptance from 67.02±13.47 to 122.33±9.21 (both p<0.001; large effects). Gains were observed across PU, PEOU, and Attitude/Intention. Post-test knowledge correlated strongly with acceptance (r=0.647, p<0.001). ANCOVA showed no educationally meaningful differences by sex or residence after adjustment (partial η2 ≤0.006). Knowledge-level transitions indicated marked movement from low/moderate to high categories. Conclusions A standardized, fidelity-checked blended curriculum produced substantial and equitable improvements in AI knowledge and acceptance among undergraduate nursing students. Framed by the Technology Acceptance Model, results suggest that concept scaffolding, brief hands-on practice, and explicit disclosure/verification routines strengthen perceived usefulness and ease of use, supporting accountable AI adoption. Multi-site controlled studies with performance-based outcomes and longer follow-up are warranted. Trial registration Not applicable. This was an educational pretest–posttest study with no clinical trial component
