Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic disease characterized by an inflammatory response largely limited to the colonic mucosa. Being a lifelong condition, ulcerative colitis has a significant psychological and social impact on patients. Vitamin D can restore the gut mucosal barrier in addition to regulating immunological responses. Vitamin D may improve a patient's quality of life and reduce the symptoms of ulcerative colitis by having an anti-inflammatory impact on the intestines

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine-related systemic metabolic disorder that is characterized by increased blood glucose levels and abnormalities in carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. Many studies show a high prevalence rate of periodontal diseases as well as increased severity in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients, including greater attachment loss, increased alveolar bone loss, marked bleeding on probing, and increased mobility of teeth. The current study aims to evaluate

One of the methods of cancer treatment is radiotherapy. Although radiation resistance and toxicity in normal cells limit the use of radiotherapy in some specific anatomical situations, however, together with radiotherapy, the use of substances that increase the radiation sensitivity of cancer cells and at the same time toxicity can be useful if they do not have cells on normal cells. The present study aimed to investigate the radiosensitizing effect of tolmetin in radiotherapy treatment on human

Fluoroquinolone resistance in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) poses a significant challenge in the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), a major global health issue. As resistance rates rise, particularly in developing countries, there is an urgent need for novel derivatives. This study aims to explore fluoroquinolone resistance in UPEC isolates and identify potential lead compounds using in-silico methods to optimize fluoroquinolone derivatives that may overcome resistance. A retr
