Nowruz remains an important cultural celebration where families gather, light fires, and hope for a prosperous new year.
Migraine is a common type of severe headache that affects 12-28% of people aged 15-55 worldwide. It often causes moderate to severe throbbing pain on one side of the head along with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. While the exact cause is unclear, migraines involve changes in brain activity and blood vessel dilation that are triggered by factors like stress, hormones, food sensitivities and environmental changes. Treatment focuses on preventing migraines through lifestyle modifications, medications and alternative therapies as well as stopping attacks once they begin using over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers and anti-nausea drugs.
This study examined risk factors for post-transplant erythrocytosis (PTE) in 235 kidney transplant recipients. The results showed that being male significantly increased the risk of developing PTE. Patients with polycystic kidney disease or glomerulonephritis also had a higher risk. While smoking was associated with PTE, further analysis revealed this was likely due to the relationship between smoking and male sex rather than a direct effect. The study did not find significant relationships between PTE and other factors like hypertension, diabetes, transplant organ source, or immunosuppressant regimen.

Rhinoplasty is currently the most common cosmetic procedure performed.
The health system in Iraq has deteriorated significantly since 1991 due to war, sanctions, and ongoing violence. The 2003 US/UK invasion exacerbated existing problems and added new issues like widespread mental health problems among soldiers and civilians. Rates of infant mortality, cancer, and birth defects have risen sharply due to exposure to depleted uranium, pollution, and lack of healthcare infrastructure and resources. The Iraqi health system that was once strong has been crippled by neglect, war, and violence, leaving the country facing a major public health crisis if issues are not addressed.

This study investigated the relationship between serum selenium levels and prostate cancer in a case-control study of 130 Iranian men. The results showed that men with prostate cancer had significantly lower serum selenium levels than controls. Lower selenium levels were associated with higher risk of prostate cancer. While some other studies have also found an inverse association, a few large randomized controlled trials did not replicate these results. The study supports the hypothesis that higher selenium intake through diet or supplements may reduce prostate cancer risk.
