Interpersonal mindfulness, involving present-moment awareness and acceptance during social interactions, is crucial for emotional regulation and adaptive interpersonal functioning. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale (IMS), a 27-item instrument with four subscales: presence, awareness of self and others, nonjudgmental acceptance, and nonreactivity. The cross-sectional sample included 15- to 17-year-old Iranian adolescents (2023–2024), r [...]

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a primary global health concern, and though therapeutic options have improved, no very effective vaccine is available despite decades of research. The health and vitality of the organism are related to the result of homeostatic regulation of the internal environment. In contrast, it follows that disruption of homeostatic mechanisms leads to disease, particularly in liver cancer. Since HCV can rapidly mutate to evade the immune response, an effective HCV vaccine must rely on the identifica [...]

Cat-eye syndrome (CES) is a rare genetic disease first reported in 1965. The estimated prevalence of CES is 1:50,000 to 1:150,000, and it is typically associated with an inverted duplicated small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) derived from chromosome 22. The specific chromosomal band involved in CES causing partial tetrasomy is 22q11.21, where chromosomal rearrangements occur due to the presence of low-copy repeats (LCR22). The phenotype of CES is extremely diverse, ranging from normal to multiple abnormali [...]

This contribution honours the life and legacy of Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow (1942–2025), the founder of Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) – a method that combines military medicine and traditional Eastern healing principles. Developed in the early 2000s for rapid, drug-free pain relief, BFA has since gained international recognition for its effectiveness and simplicity. The author reflects on the scientific collaboration with Dr. Niemtzow, which included advanced neurophysiological studies demonstrating BFA’s impact on pa [...]

Lung Transplant Recipients (LTR) are particularly vulnerable to severe infection, hospitalization, and death due to community acquired respiratory viruses. As a result, the global SARS-Cov-2 pandemic poses a higher risk to this population. We aim to study the lung function, severity of infection and mortality among LTR at a single center. A retrospective chart review was performed on all LTR at the University of San Diego, California Medical Center between June 2020 and September 2022. Spirometry was performed at 1 [...]

According to modern research, there is a high risk of motor development disorders in children 6-7 years old with autism spectrum disorders. This determines the relevance of studying the problem of individual differences in motor development of children 6-7 years old with autism spectrum disorders, the need for objective assessment of its level, and the determination of group and individual strategies for correction of motor development. The study identifies and evaluates the motor development problems of 6-7-year-o [...]

Hatha yoga is a common style of yoga used for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits, enhancing quality of life and well-being. The current study used a randomized control trial (RCT) to investigate whether completing an eight-week posture-based Hatha yoga program would lead to greater psychological benefits than taking part in an eight-week lecture series about the history and philosophy of yoga. Fifty-five participants (42 female, age range 18-32) completed five self-report measures both before and a [...]

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine illness that affects 5-10% of reproductive women globally. It is a multifaceted hormonal disorder characterized by the involvement of numerous molecular mechanisms that contribute to its development. This study investigates the effect of Artocarpus communis seed on the hormonal imbalance and P53, IRS, HsD17β2, FTO, and CYP11a genes expression in the ovaries of letrozole-induced polycystic ovarian syndrome rats. To induce PCOS in 30 female Wistar rats, [...]

There are few reports that describe incidence of hypothermia in patients treated with olanzapine. We report a case of an elderly 83-year-old black male, readmitted to the state psychiatric hospital December 2023 due to psychiatric exacerbation after 6 months of successful discharge to community, who experienced a fall and profound hypothermia with bradycardia that resulted in a 10-day acute hospitalization in January 2024. Medical workup was unrevealing except for multivessel disease found on CT stroke study of the [...]
