    Prevalence of Different Etiologies of Excessive Gingival Display: Identifying Diagnostic Patterns
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2026-01-12) Lubna Ahmad Amro; Mahetab Mohamed Abdalwahab; Nada Zazou; Ahmed Elsayed Hamed Amr
    Objectives: This study is aimed at evaluating the prevalence of etiologies of excessive gingival display (EGD) in Egyptian females including gingival enlargement (GE), altered passive eruption (APE), incisor over‐eruption (IO), protrusion (P), vertical maxillary excess (VME), short upper lip (SUL), and hyperactive upper lip (HUL) and to identify clinical diagnostic patterns. Methods: A total of 160 participants showing EGD > 2 mm were recruited. Clinical photos, videos, and measurements of facial proportions, upper lip length, upper lip mobility, incisor display upon rest, clinical crown dimensions, occlusal plane discrepancies, probing depth, transgingival probing, and keratinized gingiva were recorded and analyzed. Results: Mean age was (27.62 ± 6.21) years. Overall prevalence of EGD 13.3% among them 55.8% EGD caused by single etiology, 44.3% EGD caused by multiple etiologies. 29.4% APE, 16.3% SUL + APE, 10% VME + APE, 8.8% VME, 6.3% HUL, 5% Incisor over‐eruption, 3.8% GE, 3.8% SUL + GE, 3.1% VME + HUL, 2.5% SUL, 2.5% APE + HUL, 1.3% VME + GE, and 1.3% VME+SUL+APE... Conclusions: APE both alone and combined with another etiology is the most prevalent cause of EGD and the most common diagnostic pattern is APE + SUL among Egyptian females. Single‐factor and multifactorial EGD showed no significant difference in prevalence (p = 0.115), suggesting a similar likelihood of occurrence. Clinical Relevance: This study aimed to provide the clinician with a step‐by‐step guide for EGD comprehensive diagnosis, highlight the differences in prevalent etiologies between different populations and identify diagnostic patterns.

    Artificial Intelligence Translation of Arabic Funny Comics by ChatGPT and Transmonkey
    (CDELT, 2025-10-02) Safa ’a A. Ahmed; Rawan Mohamed Elhamzawy
    The translation of funny comics from Arabic into English is a complicated task because of the interaction between linguistic, cultural, and visual factors. The present study aims to investigate this issue. Sample data is collected from some chosen Arabic funny comics and their machine translations by ChatGPT and Transmonkey The approach is based on content analysis and a comparison of textual and visual elements, to explore the way the linguistic, cultural and visual content is transferred. It delves into the theory of acculturation by John Berry (1997) that contributes to the explanation of linguistic and cultural adaptation in such funny comics. It concludes that Artificial Intelligence may fail to translate both the message and the visual content in Arabic comics and that translation depended on cultural strategies, specifically integration, in order to make the message and the funny comic effect as accessible as possible to the English target readers.

    Dose-dependent effects of camel milk on immune function and metabolic health in weaning rats
    (Nature Research, 2026-02-05) Alyaa Farid; Mahy Mohamed; Maryam Amr; Gehan Safwat
    Breastfeeding cannot fulfill an infant’s nutritional needs beyond six months, necessitating theintroduction of alternative milk sources. Camel milk has emerged as a promising candidate due to itsrich profile of nutrients and immunomodulatory properties. This study evaluated the dose-dependenteffects of camel milk on general health and immune response in post-weaning rats, with particularattention to sex-specific differences. Male and female rats were divided into: control (GI), and fourtreatment groups receiving 2.4 mL (GII), 3.4 mL (GIII), 4.4 mL (GIV), or 5.4 mL (GV) of camel milkdaily for six weeks. Serum biochemical parameters, including lipid profile, liver and kidney functionmarkers, and immunological responses were assessed before and after immunization with sheep redblood cells. While higher doses (4.4–5.4 mL) significantly enhanced immune response and bone health,they concurrently elevated liver and kidney function parameters. The 3.4 mL dose balanced benefits,showing significant immune enhancement and bone health improvement without adverse metaboliceffects. These findings demonstrated that camel milk (3.4 mL for rats/473 mL for infants) safelyenhanced immune function, while higher doses risk metabolic stress. The results supported camelmilk’s potential as a nutritional supplement during weaning but emphasized the importance of dose regulation.

    Therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury via ASK-1/ TXNIP pathway modulation
    (Termedia Publishing House Ltd., 2025-01-04) Amal Abdelaziz; Radwa Y. Mekky; Omnia F. Hassan; Sherine M. Ibrahim
    Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a diverse set of illnesses characterized by a rapid decline in kidney function. However, kidney transplantation and supportive therapies still have many limitations in slowing the progression of kidney diseases. The effective role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in cell-based therapy and endogenous repair for AKI is still under investigation. Several studies have indicated that MSCs could both repair and ameliorate kidney injury due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic potential effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MSCs on renal cell apoptosis in cisplatin-induced AKI rats and examine the underlying molecular mechanisms. Material and methods: Characteristics and homing of MSCs to kidney tissues were identified by flow cytometry and differentiation capability. After AKI induction by cisplatin injection in sixteen albino rats, the AKI rats were further subdivided into three subgroups. The first subgroup served as a positive control and the second one received 2 mg/kg furosemide (FUR), which served as a standard drug. The third subgroup received a single dose of 5 × 106 MSCs via tail vein injection once a week for 2 consecutive weeks. AKI-related biochemical parameters were assayed at 2 weeks after MSC treatment. Kidney histological changes were also evaluated. Moreover, apoptosis of kidney cells and expression of apoptosis-related proteins were assessed by western blot. Results: Compared with AKI rats, rats treated with MSCs showed suppressed serum levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. MSC treatment alleviated the pathological abnormalities in the kidneys of AKI rats as shown by H&E staining. Furthermore, MSC treatment suppressed apoptosis of kidney cells in AKI rats via downregulation of apoptotic proteins: thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1). Most importantly, MSC treatment promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the kidneys of AKI rats. Conclusions: Our results suggest that MSCs could ameliorate renal injury of AKI rats via their anti-apoptotic properties. Also, the protective effects of MSCs may be mediated by their potential angiogenic effects.

    A Low-Profile Fully-Fabric High Isolation Dual-Port MIMO Antenna For UWB Wearable Applications
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2026-02-04) Mohamed El Atrash; Mennaalla S. Khalil; Waad A. Mahmoud; Mahmoud A. Addalla
    A compact, 2-port Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna that is entirely made of textile is proposed for Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) wearable applications. The conductive parts of the MIMO antenna are made of ShieldIt with a conductivity of 1.8 × 105 S/m and thickness of 0.17 mm. The MIMO antenna is mounted on a 1.5 mm thick Felt substrate. The designed MIMO antenna has a compact size of 30 mm × 45 mm and operates over the UWB frequency band ranging from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. It displayed an average radiation efficiency of 85.5% and a peak gain of 5 dBi within the UWB spectrum. To reduce the mutual coupling between the antenna elements, two approaches are applied. Orienting one radiator by 180° with respect to the other and adding a parasitic structure in-between the 2 radiators led to achieving a high isolation amongst the antennas. This is inspected through analyzing the achieved outcomes of S21 < −25 dB, very low Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) < 0.001, high Diversity Gain (DG) > 9.995 dB, and low Channel Capacity Loss (CCL) < 0.2bits/s/Hz throughout the UWB spectrum. Furthermore, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is lower than 1.6 W/kg, averaged over 1g of tissue, at various frequencies. Finally, the MIMO antenna was manually fabricated, where the tested outcomes matched with the simulated ones. Compared to the published work, the proposed antenna has a compact size, high radiation efficiency, has a bendable platform and achieves very competitive MIMO parameter. Therefore, the proposed MIMO antenna can be highly suggested for UWB wearable applications.
