Barley and soluble fiber β glucan have been linked to improvements in lipid and glucose homeostasis, yet the comparative efficacy of roasted barley tea versus purified β glucan under different dietary stresses remains unclear. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a control chow (ND) or obesogenic diets—high fat (HFD), high cholesterol (HCD), or high fat/medium cholesterol (HF MCD)—for 13 weeks. Subgroups received roasted barley tea (BT) or a β glucan supplement (BGS). Fasting glucose and serum lipids (TC, TG, HDL C, LDL C) were quantified; liver and adipose histology were examined by H&E. O

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transitioned over the past two decades from a set of experimental tools to an integral component of medical education. Despite several recent reviews, a consolidated two-decade overview that synthesises thematic developments and persistent gaps remains limited. This narrative review therefore examines how AI has shaped medical education between 2005 and 2025, highlighting progress, evolving practices, and areas requiring further research. A narrative review methodology was used to synthesise peer-reviewed literature published from January 2005 to May 2025. Sear

This study aimed to assess the oral health knowledge and behaviors among older patients attending dental policlinics of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Kuala Lumpur. This is a cross-sectional study involving a sample of 64 newly registered older patients aged 50 years old and above in Faculty of Dentistry, UKM. Oral health knowledge was measured using Comprehensive Measure of Oral Health Knowledge (CMOHK) questionnaire that consists of 23 item questions. Oral health behavior was measured using a set of question adopted and modified from Rustvold, 2012. Sixty-four participants completed th

Intrinsic third ventricular gliomas are exceptionally rare and pose significant diagnostic and management challenges due to their deep midline location and atypical radiological appearance. These mimic inflammatory or infectious lesions such as tuberculoma, especially in areas where tuberculosis is common. Current case describes the history of a young adult male who presented with progressive headache, vomiting and right-sided weakness. Plain CT scan demonstrated intraventricular hemorrhage and mild obstructive hydrocephalous. MRI findings suggested moderately enhancing third ventricular lesio

In traditional Mongolian medicine, the lung is the central organ of the respiratory system, a cough is one of the essential symptoms of respiratory diseases. The study aims to compare the effects of Darvu-5, which is used in Mongolian traditional medicine, its effects on cough caused by respiratory hypersensitivity and post-infection were studied, comparing it with standard treatment. The study was conducted in a randomized controlled clinical trial based on the Mongolian Japanese Hospital and the Central Hospital of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences. 140 people over the ag
