Abstract

General Background: The renal nervous system regulates kidney function through sympathetic and sensory neurons, impacting blood pressure and fluid balance. Specific Background: Renal nerve hyperactivity is linked to hypertension and metabolic disorders, prompting interest in renal denervation as a treatment. Knowledge Gap: The precise mechanisms by which renal nerves influence disease remain unclear, and clinical outcomes of renal denervation are inconsistent. Aims: This review explores renal nerve structure, neurotransmission, and functional roles in health and disease. Results: Sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine and co-transmitters, affecting vascular resistance and sodium handling, while sensory nerves modulate sympathetic output. Novelty: It integrates recent findings on renal neurophysiology, emphasizing afferent-sympathetic interactions. Implications: Advancing knowledge of renal nerves could refine treatments for hypertension and kidney disorders. Highlights: Renal nerve signaling controls blood pressure and kidney function through neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and ATP. Renal denervation therapy shows potential for treating hypertension but has inconsistent clinical outcomes. Afferent-sympathetic interaction plays a crucial role in kidney function and systemic homeostasis Keywords: Renal Nerves, Sympathetic Regulation, Hypertension, Neurotransmitters, Renal Denervation

Abstract

Background: The study and daily lives of Chinese undergraduate students have been significantly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has grown to be a serious public health concern. Objectives: The study aims to assess the level of students’ knowledge and attitudes concerning COVID-19. Methods: Through social networking sites and WhatsApp groups, the researcher created an electronic questionnaire that was disseminated to all Al Karma University students. The students completed it accurately. Students from Al-Karma University served as the study's participants. There were 483 people in the sample overall. The researcher uses an assessment tool to gauge the knowledge and attitudes of Al-Karma University students in Basrah regarding COVID-19. A survey was created to examine university students' COVID-19 information. Once finished, the questions were given out and shown to a group of professionals. An electronic form on the topic of the study, known as the Researcher Study Tool (Questionnaire), will be created to gather the data. There are three sections to the questionnaire. Results: The findings indicated that a greater proportion of the sample was female and that the sample's age ranged from 21 to 25 years. Students were found to have a high degree of understanding and a positive attitude toward COVID-19, with districts and sub-districts having the largest percentage of addresses. Conclusion: The majority of the female sample members were between the ages of 21 and 25, and their addresses were for the districts and sub-districts. Students were said to have a high degree of correct attitude toward COVID-19 and a good level of understanding about the virus. Highlights: Majority females (21–25 years), from districts/sub-districts in Basrah. COVID-19 knowledge assessed via electronic questionnaire for 483 students. High understanding and positive attitudes toward COVID-19 among students. Keywords: Students, Knowledge, Attitudes, COVID-19

Abstract

Background: Worldwide, smoking is a serious public health issue. While thousands of researchers have examined the health impacts of active smoking, less is known about the effects of passive smoking. Objectives: To identify the students’ knowledge regarding passive smoking. Methods: Nursing college students were given an electronic form to complete as part of a cross-sectional study aimed at evaluating their understanding of passive smoking. Convenient electronic sampling was employed. The study included a sample size of 150 University of Basra College of Nursing students at all levels. Results: We estimated that the population was composed of 61.4% Basra residents, 13.3% Thiqar residents, 10% Babylonians, 7.4% Baghdad residents, 6.6% Samawa residents, and 1.3% Dyala residents. 4% were older than 28, 80% were between the ages of 23 and 27, and 16% were between the ages of 18 and 22. They were divided into four stages: 22% in the first, 16% in the second, 18% in the third, and 44% in the fourth. The midnight study accounted for 30% of the sample, whereas the morning study accounted for 70%. Conclusion: Nursing college students are highly knowledgeable about the negative effects of passive smoking, as evidenced by the fact that the majority of the questionnaire's items were significant. Highlights: Smoking is a public health issue; passive smoking effects are under-researched. Assess nursing students' knowledge of passive smoking. Nursing students are knowledgeable about passive smoking's negative effects. Keywords: Students, Knowledge, Passive Smoking

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) continues to be a major issue in the US and around the world, leading to high rates of morbidity and death at a significant financial burden on healthcare. A basic comprehension of the processes that underlie the heart failure (HF) adaptive response has resulted in the identification of multiple channels of compensation, which have been the focus of medical and pharmacological treatments intended to lessen the debilitating condition. To increase HF patients' chances of survival, further research is required to find novel targets. Highlights: Heart failure causes high morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. Understanding HF mechanisms aids medical and pharmacological interventions. Further research needed for novel treatment targets and improved survival. Keywords: Pathophysiology, Heart Failure, Review

Abstract

Arabi ewes were used to determine the extent of the effect of the pH of the vaginal mucus on the fertility rate, vaginal sponges enriched with the progesterone hormone were used and the vaginas of the ewes were washed with different pH solutions. The fertility rate was 69.5%. There was no significant effect of the vaginal pH on this characteristic, and a positive correlation coefficient (0.821) was found between the two characteristics Highlights: Arabi ewes studied for vaginal mucus pH effect on fertility. Progesterone-enriched sponges, pH solutions used; fertility rate 69.5%. No significant effect, but strong positive correlation (0.821) found. Keywords: ewes, fertility, pH, buffers, phosphate
