    Abstract: Embryonic thermal manipulation was known as an effective protocol for improving post-hatch growth performance and thermotolerance acquisition among avian species. Previously, we evaluated the impact of embryonic thermal manipulation of Japanese quail on embryonic development, hatchability, and post-hatch performance. We conducted the current study to furtherly elucidate the effects of thermal manipulations of Japanese quail embryos on internal organ weights, carcass traits, and meat quality parameters at post-hatch day 35. Quail eggs of control group were incubated at 37.7 °C and relative humidity (RH) 55%. Three thermally manipulated groups of quail eggs were incubated intermittently at 41°C and 65% RH intermittently (3 hours/day): the early embryonic group (TM1) was thermally challenged at embryonic day (ED6) to ED8, the late embryonic group (TM2) was thermally challenged at ED12-14, and early/late embryonic group (TM3) was thermally challenged in both time windows. Quail meat quality parameters, carcass traits, and internal organ weights were evaluated at post-hatch day 35. The results revealed that early embryonic thermal manipulation (TM1 group) is an effective protocol for decreasing fat pad accumulation. The pH value of breast meat in all TM treatments revealed significant (P 〈 0.05) decreases by 5% in comparison with that of control without any negative effects on breast meat composition or sensory criteria. Early embryonic thermal manipulation would be recommended as an enhanced protocol that can be used to reach the favored lucrative effects of the thermal treatment in meat-type quail. UČINKI TOPLOTNE MANIPULACIJE ZARODKOV JAPONSKIH PREPELIC NA LASTNOSTI TRUPA PO IZVALITVI, TEŽO NOTRANJIH ORGANOV IN KAKOVOST PRSNEGA MESA Izvleček: Toplotna manipulacija zarodka različnih vrst ptic je znana kot učinkovit protokol za izboljšanje rasti po izvalitvi in pridobivanje odpornosti na povišano temperaturo. Predhodno smo ocenili vpliv embrionalne toplotne manipulacije zarodkov japonskih prepelic na embrionalni razvoj, valilnost in uspešnost po izvalitvi. V tej študiji smo natančneje pojasnili učinke toplotne manipulacije zarodkov japonskih prepelic na težo notranjih organov, lastnosti trupa in parametre kakovosti mesa na 35. dan po izvalitvi. Jajca prepelic kontrolne skupine so bila inkubirana pri 37,7 °C in 55-odstotni relativni vlažnosti. Tri preiskovane skupine prepeličjih jajc so bile občasno izpostavljene temperaturi 41 °C in relativni vlagi 65 % (3 ure/dan): zgodnja embrionalna skupina (TM1) je bila izpostavljena toploti 6.– 8. embrionalni dan (ED), pozna embrionalna skupina (TM2) 12.–14. ED, zgodnja/pozna embrionalna skupina (TM3) pa v obeh časovnih intervalih. Parametre kakovosti mesa prepelic, lastnosti trupa in težo notranjih organov smo ocenili na 35. dan po izvalitvi. Rezultati so pokazali, da je toplotna manipulacija v zgodnjem embrionalnem obdobju (skupina TM1) učinkovit protokol za zmanjšanje kopičenja maščobnih blazinic. Vrednost pH prsnega mesa pri vseh toplotno manipuliranih skupinah se je znatno (P 〈 0,05) znižala za 5 % v primerjavi s kontrolno skupino, brez negativnih učinkov na sestavo prsnega mesa ali senzorične kriterije. Zgodnjo embrionalno toplotno manipulacijo bi bilo priporočljivo uporabiti kot izboljšan protokol, s katerim bi bilo mogoče doseči prednostne donosne učinke pri mesnih prepelicah.

    Abstract: The testes are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation at all stages of life. Exposure to these threats mainly occurs during cancer treatment and as an occupational hazard in radiation centers. The present study investigated the regenerative ability of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) against the adverse effects of cisplatin on the structure and function of the testes. Methods New Zealand white rabbits (N = 15) were divided into three groups of five: a negative control group (no treatment), a cisplatin group (single dose of cisplatin into each testis followed three days later by a PBS injection), and a cisplatin + ADMSCs group (cisplatin injection followed three days later by an ADMSC injection). On day 45 post-treatment, serum testosterone levels were evaluated, and the testes and epididymis were collected for histology, oxidative stress examination, and epididymal sperm analysis. Results Cisplatin caused damage to the testicular tissue and decreased serum testosterone levels, epididymal sperm counts, and oxidants. An antioxidant imbalance was detected due to increasing malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in testicular tissue. The ADMSC-treated group displayed a moderate epididymal sperm count, adequate antioxidant protection, suitable hormone levels, and enhanced testicular tissue morphology. Conclusions ADMSCs treatment repaired damaged testicular tissue, enhanced biochemical parameters, and modified pathological changes caused by cisplatin.

    Abstract: Infertility is a serious medical, economic, and psychological problem in the society. Male factor infertility, due to defective spermatogenesis as a result of a failure in germ cell proliferation and differentiation, appears to be the cause of 25–50% of infertility cases. According to several surveys, testicular degeneration can be caused by a variety of physical, chemical, and microbial causes. A stem cell is a non-specialized cell which is characterized by self-renewal by mitotic cell division and able to differentiate to specialized cells for the various tissues of the body. The data were obtained and analyzed from different databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Egyptian Knowledge Bank, Elsevier, Medline, Embase, ProQuest, and BMC). This review discusses the causes, symptoms, and grades of testicular degeneration and the use of different types of stem cells in regeneration. And its conclusion based on previous researches and trials, MSCs are considered effective therapy for testicular degeneration.

    Abstract: The involvement of the undergraduates in the research field requires a better view of their potential and the anticipated barriers facing them. This study aims to assess the undergraduates' knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceived barriers towards research in six Arab countries. Methods A cross sectional study included medical students from six Arab countries, where a self-administered five-section questionnaire was used to assess the students' demographics, knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceived barriers. The questionnaire was distributed in the online educational platforms of the participating medical schools in the six included countries. Results The total sample of recruited students was 2989, the majority of students (91.6%) showed poor level of knowledge regarding research. Generally high levels of positive attitudes towards research, research relevance and usefulness were found, with moderate levels of perception of research anxiety and difficulty. 33.7% ( n  = 1006) participated in an actual research project before with a mean of .5 publications per student. Cross-sectional studies were the most common type of studies conducted by students (38.6%), followed by case reports (23.9%). Lack of access to lab equipment for lab research (68.1%), the priority of education over research (66.8%), and lack of time because of educational tasks (66.1%) were generally the top perceived barriers towards research practice. Conclusion In the current study, the participants showed a poor knowledge level with associated positive attitudes towards research. One third of the students participated in research projects that mostly were cross-sectional studies and case reports. Educational tasks and lack of support were the most prevalent barriers. The students' positive attitudes towards research need to be translated into better knowledge and appropriate practice, which can be done by development of better training systems and more structured mentoring.

    Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to assess the diaphragmatic dysfunction in critically ill non-intubated patients admitted to respiratory critical care unit with acute respiratory failure. Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on 200 mechanically ventilated patients. The following data were collected: demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements. Disease severity and hemodynamics. In addition, ICU length of stay, duration mechanical ventilation, outcome and duration of hospital stay.  Besides, parameters of MV like (PaO2 / FiO2 Ratio), and respiratory rate were noticed. The laboratory workup included arterial blood gases, Na+, K+, Mg++, Ca++, PH, PCO2, HCO3-. The ultrasound was performed before and after weaning and included the diaphragmatic excursion and diaphragmatic thickness traction. The patients were split into two categories regarding their reaction to weaning attempts: Category A represented successful weaning. Category B represented unsuccessful weaning followed by reintubation and mechanically ventilated. Results: The weaning success was reported for 123 patients (61.5%) and mortality reported for 28 patients (14.0%). Weaning success was associated with male gender, younger age and slightly higher BMI. Obstructive airway disease showed significant increase in success than failure (25.2% vs 11.7% respectively). Weaning failure was significantly associated increased septic shock and pneumonia. The muscle thickness in inspiration was significantly increased in success than failure (25.56 vs 24.08 respectively). DE before weaning was the most sensitive indicator at cut-off value 〉 15 followed by DE after weaning at cutoff value 〉 17; while DTF after weaning was more sensitive than DTF before weaning (93.55% and 80.65% respectively) at cutoff points 〉 20.4 and 〉 18.5, respectively. Conclusion: Assessment of DTF and DE by diaphragm ultrasound is an easy to obtain new weaning index that can be a bedside method in clinical practice with promising predictors of weaning success or failure before and after weaning.
