Exploring the Impact of Height and Body Shape on Athletic Performance
type: item
description: This research investigates the impact of height and body type on sports performance, particularly in the case of combat sports—boxing, mixed martial arts, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu—among young athletes aged between 13 and 18 years in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Although literature identifies the benefits of certain body types in sports such as basketball or gymnastics, little is known about the transferability of these characteristics in combat sports, especially among younger athletes. Using a mixed-methods approach, anthropometric measurements—height, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI)—were collected from 28 athletes at a local Mixed Martial Arts gym, with their performance data subsequently analyzed alongside survey results. Results indicate that mesomorphic (muscular) body types correlate with achievement in competitive weight-class athletics; yet, cardiovascular efficiency and joint durability—linked to proportional height-to-weight ratios—are equally valuable. The study refers to a trade-off between innate and trainable physical advantages in showing that while somatotype influences role specialization, intensive training and psychological toughness remain paramount for elite performance. The findings offer practical value to coaches and sporting apparel manufacturers interested in optimizing training programs and equipment design for youth athletes.

The future potential of fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) in managing neonatal fungal infections
type: item
description: Fungal extracellular Vesicles (EVs) have emerged as significant mediators in the pathogenesis of neonatal fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. These nanostructures are increasingly recognised for their dual role in both facilitating infection, through mechanisms such as immune evasion and antifungal resistance, and offering novel therapeutic opportunities. This article explores the multifaceted interactions between fungal EVs and the neonatal immune system, emphasising the critical balance between their detrimental and potentially beneficial immunomodulatory effects. Given the immunological immaturity of neonates, understanding the dynamics of these vesicles is vital for developing targeted interventions. The discussion further extends to the future potential of engineering fungal EVs as safe, precise, and effective tools for treating neonatal mycoses. By synthesising emerging findings, this work contributes to the evolving landscape of neonatal care and proposes forward-looking strategies to harness fungal EVs in clinical applications.

Oxidized HDL as a Novel Predictive Biomarker in Conjunction with Selected Inflammatory Variables in Severe Dengue Fever Patients from Lahore, Pakistan
type: item
description: Background: Dengue fever is a deadly disease and represents one of the biggest threats to global health, with persisting uncertainty surrounding its prognosis and treatment standards. The onset of severe dengue fever, characterized by intense inflammation and the production of pro-inflammatory molecules, is currently the only well-established association with disease severity. Therefore, identifying and assessing both new and established biomarkers that can accurately predict the outcome of severe dengue fever is essential. Methods: In this study, 100 age-matched healthy controls and 100 hospitalized dengue patients positive for NS1 and IgM, with a mean age of 45 years (range: 22– 65), were examined. Potential biomarkers were analyzed using a Coulter counter, spectroscopy, and ELISA to determine their prognostic value in assessing dengue fever severityResults: Triglycerides and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) were significantly higher in severe dengue fever patients compared to controls (p<0.001). Conversely, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and cholesterol levels were significantly lower in patients compared to controls (p<0.001). Albumin levels were 40.9% lower, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was 422.1% higher, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were 435.6% higher in severe dengue fever patients compared to controls. Unlike HDL, oxidized HDL (oxHDL) levels were 160.4% higher in patients with severe dengue fever compared to controls. Still, the absolute levels of oxHDL did not exceed total HDL levels, as confirmed by corrected data. Conclusion: Oxidized HDL, combined with other lipoproteins, may provide an ideal panel of prognostic indicators that could guide the treatment of severe dengue fever and serve as reliable biomarkers for predicting disease outcomes

The role of genetic counselling in managing inherited disorders in neonates
type: item
description: The existence of inherited disorders among newborns creates substantial difficulties for perinatal healthcare organisations, leading to increased mortality rates and negative developmental outcomes, in addition to elevated morbidity. According to researchers, genetic counselling represents an essential interdisciplinary approach that enhances diagnostic processes and supports decision-making by working with families experiencing such conditions (Resta et al., 2006; Skirton and Patch, 2013). The management of inherited disorders in newborn infants through genetic counselling necessitates evaluation from various perspectives, including clinical administration, ethical considerations, and psychosocial challenges (Biesecker and Peters, 2001).Through a rigorous review of contemporary literature and clinical guidelines, this study delineates the responsibilities of genetic counsellors in risk assessment, interpretation of genomic data, emotional support, and interdisciplinary collaboration (Skirton and Patch, 2013). The research examines how genetic counselling contributes to early identification, presents various intervention strategies, and facilitates long-term family planning efforts (Ormond, 2013). Legal and ethical aspects are thoroughly analysed, with a focus on the informed consent process, cultural sensitivity, and the potential for genetic-based discrimination (Middleton, Morley and Parker, 2014). The article also addresses persistent challenges such as a shortage of trained professionals, inconsistency in practice standards, and complexities in genome interpretation (Abacan et al., 2019). Finally, it explores two emerging trends in the field: the integration of artificial intelligence in counselling tools and the expansion of genomic screening applications (Topol, 2019). This article advocates for the implementation of comprehensive genetic counselling services within standard neonatal care protocols, as these enhance clinical outcomes and support families in n…

Engineering fungal extracellular vesicles: the next phase of nanobiotechnology and biofabrication
type: item
description: Fungal Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a critical frontier in nanobiotechnology and biofabrication, offering a dynamic interface between microbial biology and engineered nanosystems. These membrane-bound particles, actively secreted by fungi, are now recognised as pivotal mediators of intercellular communication, molecular transport, and host-pathogen interactions. Recent advances have underscored their structural diversity and molecular cargo, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and secondary metabolites, which confer them the ability to modulate both microbial physiology and host responses. While EVs were traditionally viewed as passive by-products, evolving research has reframed them as programmable biological entities with vast potential for bioengineering. This article examines the next phase in fungal EVs science: the deliberate engineering of vesicles to serve as tailored tools for drug delivery, vaccine development, biosensor integration, and regenerative applications. Drawing upon synthetic biology and gene editing platforms, researchers are now designing EVs with custom cargo profiles and surface functionalities, enhancing their utility across clinical and industrial domains. Moreover, the biofabrication potential of engineered fungal EVs offers new pathways for creating sustainable nanomaterials and biologically active scaffolds. Despite these advances, significant hurdles persist, particularly concerning biosafety, immunogenicity, standardisation of production processes, and translational scalability. As the field evolves, interdisciplinary convergence with artificial intelligence (AI), multi-omics technologies, and microfluidics is set to amplify the precision and throughput of EVs engineering. Engineered fungal EVs are thus positioned not merely as passive nanocarriers, but as intelligent, responsive platforms within the broader nanobiotechnological ecosystem.

Rathke’s cleft cyst as a rare sellar, parasellar mass lesion with sign andsymptoms of pituitary adenoma. Case presentation and review of literature.
type: item
description: Rathke's cleft cysts exist as non-neoplastic lesions of the sellar and suprasellar regions that can eventually become large enough to induce compressive effects with subsequent symptomology. Most cases, however, are asymptomatic and are only detected during autopsy. The first incidence of a symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst was described in 1931. Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts may be associated with both neurological and endocrine abnormalities. In this paper Rathke’s cleft cysts in sella and parasellar region to be discussed as a symptomatic lesion, etiology, pathophysiology and its sign and symptoms. Case presentation and review of literature for the differential diagnosis, imaging findings, and treatment plans are the main objectives of this paper.

type: item
description: Background: The primary target when setting policies in obstetrics and gynaecology is gaining successful delivery with the minimum feto-maternal adverse outcome. Studying the difference between planned and unplanned vaginal birth after caesarean section expected to serve such goal by monitoring and evaluating the possible risks in unplanned VBAC such as risk of rupture uterus and other relevant complication. Materials: all pregnant women with one previous caesarean section planned for VBAC either in the ANC or labour pain. Results: A total of 245pregnant women had been enrolled in this study. The age of both groups found to be similar to each other. the education level had significant effect on the type of delivery in group A the majority of the women was university graduate while in group B who were unplanned for VBAC the majority are secondary. Most of both groups are from urban area. In group A, most of the patient parity are vary between I-IV as follow (87.6%) while in group B I_IV (84.6%). Group A had high visit rate for ANC most of them went to referral clinic (51.1%). While in group B (68.9%) went to health center. The commonest indication for a previous CS was failure to progress in both groups. The success rate of VBAC in both groups was similar (68%) in group A while in group B (67%). the commonest type of previous C/S was emergencies in both groups. In group A (94%) had been counseled for VBAC and majority was counseled by registrar while the majority in group B had not been counseled for VBAC.The maternal outcome in group A was (1.4%) for PPH & (1.4%) for uterine rupture while in group B (1%) for PPH and (2.9%) for uterine rupture and the majority of both groups had no complication. The neonatal outcome in group planned for VBAC was good (99%) alive baby while in group B (7%) had FSB. Group B recorded much rate admitted to ICU (18%). Conclusion: The study highlighted that the success rates of VBAC in planned group were significantly higher than the unpla…

type: item
description: Objective: The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between foundation-year GPA -as a measure of academic performance- with different types of motivating factors towards studying medicine among students at the University of Sharjah. Methodology: the study used a cross sectional design with a target population of 158 students at the university of Sharjah college of Medicine, 45 students were included in the study by means of convenience sampling, measurement of intrinsic and extrinsic factors’ prevalence was conducted by a self-designed, self-administered questionnaire with elements from the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI). Questionnaires were administered prior to a PBL session conducted in December 2018. 13 responses were discarded due to incomplete responses. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS 25. Results: out of 32 respondents (43.8% of which were males and 56.3% females), findings suggest a stronger correlation between extrinsic factors (0.208) -materialistic factors more specifically- and higher academic performance in relation to intrinsic factors (-0.191). A strong association between intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors was found indicating their confounding influence with no apparent extreme predomination (p<0.01). No significant correlations were found relating specific motivational factor prevalence with gender. Conclusions: extrinsic motivational factors play a bigger role in enhancing medical students’ academic performance than intrinsic factors.
