Abstract Background and Aims Non-communicable diseases (NCD) represent a major public health disability burden worldwide. The UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 called for reducing premature mortality from NCD by one third through prevention treatment 2030. To lessen the impact of NCD, evidence-based precise data are needed making policy allocating resources. However, attributable...

BACKGROUND Non-communicable diseases (NCD) pose challenges to Cambodia's health system. Medicines for NCD are on the National Essential Medicines List but no clinical guidelines support their utilization. Two social health protection schemes aimed at the informal sector population exist (Health Equity Funds and Insurance) together with two disease-specific interventions (a Peer Educator Network...

BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the association between a high-fat diet (HFD) and HCC is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated whether a high-saturate-fat diet affects hepatocarcinogenesis induced by administration of diethylnitrosamine (DEN). METHODS Adult SD rats were randomized into the following gr...

BACKGROUND Previous studies report on smoking in Iran but recent national data on tobacco use (including cigarette, water-pipe and pipe) have not been reported. METHODS In 2007, 5287 Iranians aged 15-64 years were sampled from all provinces as part of a national cross-sectional survey of non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors. Data were collected using the standardised stepwise protocol ...

The global trend is currently an increase in mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCD): cancer, cardiovascular, endocrinological, respiratory diseases. COVID-19 pandemic has not stop the NCD epidemic, and gender characteristics, syndemicity, polymorbidity of them contributed to persistence differences number years life lost due premature among men women (calculations for 2019 using DALY met...

BACKGROUND People with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) are particularly vulnerable to socioeconomic inequality due to their long-term expensive health needs. This study aimed to assess socioeconomic-related inequality in health service utilization among NCD patients in China and to analyze factors associated with this disparity. METHODS Data were taken from the 2008 Chinese National H...

BACKGROUND No standard protocols are available for cognitive rehabilitation (CR) in conditions like Major or Mild Neurocognitive disorder (M-NCD or m-NCD, respectively); however, preliminary data seem to indicate that such interventions might have cost-effective beneficial effects and are free from side effect or adverse events. Three basic approaches are known: cognitive stimulation (CS), cogn...

studies have shown that aflatoxin is immunosuppressive and its ingestion in feed has resulted in decreased immunity in vaccinated birds .therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine the efficacy of sodium bentonite (sb) and esterified glucomannan (e-gm) of yeast cell wall, in counteracting the toxic effects of aflatoxin (af) on immunization against infectious bursal disease (ibd...

The Ncd microtubule motor protein is required for meiotic and early mitotic chromosome distribution in Drosophila. Null mutant females expressing the Ncd motor fused to the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP), regulated by the wild-type ncd promoter, are rescued for chromosome segregation and embryo viability. Analysis of mitosis in live embryos shows cell cycle-dependent localiza...
