    Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine whether hot yoga could attenuate sodium-induced pressor responses and endothelial dysfunction in Black females. Fourteen participants (ages 20-60 yr old) completed 3 days of low-sodium intake (≤31 mmol/day) followed by 3 days of high-sodium intake (201 mmol/day). Ambulatory blood pressure (BP), 24-h urinary sodium excretion, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), urine-specific gravity, and hematocrit were measured during/after each dietary phase. Participants were randomly assigned to 4 wk of hot yoga or a wait-list control condition. Wait-listed participants were rerandomized to the yoga group after

    Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) and Fe3O4 super paramagnetic material are good candidate for some applications such as drug delivery. It has been shown that combining Fe3O4 with graphene oxide increases the biological efficiency of GO. The use of novel assisted reproductive technologies such as gonadotropins injection has been able to help the fertility of infertile people, but the side effects of these methods and high costs are still problems. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) on the in vivo maturation of mouse oocytes. Thirty 6–8-week old female Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice were treated with intra peritoneal (I.P) injection of MGO mixed with hormones. 12 h after I.P. injection of MGO mixed with PMSG and HCG, the number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes obtained from the left fallopian tubes was counted in each group. Also, immuno-cytochemical staining of glutathione and morphometric analysis of ovaries were studied. The results of this study showed that the simultaneous use of MGO, pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG), and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) increases the number of MII oocytes and helps to increase maturation of oocytes. It could be concluded that MGO can increase the efficiency of super ovulating hormones due to increase in adsorption of serum hormones and growth factors.

    Abstract Security Operations Center (SoC) analysts gather threat reports from openly accessible global threat databases and customize them manually to suit a particular organization's needs. These analysts also depend on internal repositories, which act as private local knowledge database for an organization. Credible cyber intelligence, critical operational details, and relevant organizational information are all stored in these local knowledge databases. Analysts undertake a labor intensive task utilizing these global and local knowledge databases to manually create organization's unique threat response and mitigation strategies. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown the capability to efficiently process large diverse knowledge sources. We leverage this ability to process global and local knowledge databases to automate the generation of organization-specific threat intelligence. In this work, we present LOCALINTEL, a novel automated knowledge contextualization system that, upon prompting, retrieves threat reports from the global threat repositories and uses its local knowledge database to contextualize them for a specific organization. LOCALINTEL comprises of three key phases: global threat intelligence retrieval, local knowledge retrieval, and contextualized completion generation. The former retrieves intelligence from global threat repositories, while the second retrieves pertinent knowledge from the local knowledge database. Finally, the fusion of these knowledge sources is orchestrated through a generator to produce a contextualized completion.

    Abstract Background: One of the most common medical emergencies worldwide is deliberate or accidental poisoning. The ever-increasing consumption of toxins and fatal drugs is getting more critical by the time. The purpose of intentional poisoning is to harm self and others. It includes objectives like robbery, sexual abusing (rape). The perpetrators of sedative and hypnotic drugs could sedate patients and make them sleepy. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study investigated the suspected Drug-Facilitated Crime (DFC) admitted patients and Outpatient Department (OPD) in the emergency room and toxicology ward. A researcher-made questionnaire was completed for each patient. The biological samples (urine, blood) were provided to a clinical toxicology lab. Results: The information of 40 suspected DFC patients was analyzed. 70% of intoxicated patients were men, and 30% were women. The patients’ mean age was 31-43 years; 42% were low in education, and 37% were self-employed. Furthermore, 75% of total intoxicated patients had a sedentary level of consciousness. Approximately 92.5% had one positive substance test, and 7.5% had negative lab test results. The most used drug was diazepam, by 70%. The motivation for poisoning was 80% robbery, 12.5% for rape, and 7.5% were no diagnostic. Conclusion: The prevalence of poisoning, especially deliberate poisoning, is dramatically growing in this part of the world. Accordingly, this study reveals the flexibility of criminals in Tehran Province, Iran. Thus, the Ministry of Health should seriously control legal and illegal drugs purchase.

    Abstract Background: Digoxin poisoning leads to the development of cardiac and noncardiac complications. Digoxin immune fab is a safe and effective antidote, but clinical trials have not been performed in this regard, and most of the evidence is based on prospective studies. Understanding the toxicoepidemiology pattern of digoxin poisoning could provide valuable context for better managing its acute poisoning.
    Objectives: This study aimed to assess the toxicoepidemiology pattern of acute digoxin poisoning through a 5-year assessment in Iran.
    Methodology: In this observational study, the records of 97 patients who were referred with acute digoxin poisoning between 2010 and 2015 were evaluated. Demographic characteristics, past medical history, drug history, chief complaints, vital signs, paraclinical findings, digoxin immune fab administration, and clinical outcomes recorded.
    Results: The mean age of patients was 34.02 ± 17.87 years old. About 24.7% of patients had underlying diseases, and among them, heart failure was the most prevalent disease (29.2%) 42.3% of patients needed intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The mean duration of ICU stay was 4.00 ± 2.29 days. Digoxin immune fab was administered for 4.1% of patients, and an average of 6.2 ± 2.2 vials were used for them. All patients survived, and no mortality was reported.
    Conclusions: Digoxin immune fab administration did not alter the mortality rate. Hence, it can be concluded digoxin immune fab is not appropriate in acute poisoning, but it may be considered in chronic poisoning. Furthermore, acute digoxin poisoning is more common in Iran, and it responds appropriately to conventional treatment.

    Abstract Introduction: paraquat is a cheap and easy access herbicide which its intoxication is limited in Iran. The current study aims to provide some epidemiologic data within paraquat poisoning from the most crowded referral center of clinical toxicology in Iran.Methods: We investigated the paraquat poisoning patients who were admitted to Loghman-Hakim Hospital in Tehran, Iran from 2008 to 2016.Results: A total of 12 patients participated in this study, 50% of these patients were between 10-20 years old, 41.7% were between 26-40 years old, and 8.3% were above 55 years old. About 83.3% were male, and 16.7% were female. Treatments which were given in the hospital include cyclophosphamide (58.3%), cortisol (75%), vitamin C (50%), vitamin E (83.3%), N-acetyl cysteine (83.3%). 66.6 percent of hospitalized patients required invasive measures to preserve their airways, with 3.33 percent undergoing tracheostomy and the same percentage undergoing intubation. There were five fatalities among the patients, three of which were related to pulmonary and renal failure.Conclusions: This study indicates that the majority are younger than 40 years and males. Prevention and limited access to this substance is necessary in terms of the lack of antidote.
