Diversity of aquatic insects on the leaf litter of water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) in an experimental fishpond
Authors: Hamdhani Hamdhani , Fadhilla Febby Nur , Eryati Ristiana
Published: February 2025

Aquatic insects play a crucial role in ecological systems because they are sensitive to environmental changes, indicating whether an environment is healthy or polluted. The vast biodiversity in morphology, physiology, and adaptive behavior among insect species on Earth has led to numerous scientific studies using insects as models. Population dynamics studies, for instance, often rely on the evolution of insect populations. The objective of this research is to explore the types of aquatic insects present, as well as their diversity, evenness, and dominance levels. The study found 4 orders and 4 families totaling 180 individuals on the leaf litter of water lettuce. The diversity index of aquatic insects on the water lettuce leaf litter was categorized as low. The evenness index was categorized as small. The dominance index ranged from low to moderate to high categories.

Published: February 2025

Plankton is an organism that lives floating in the water whose movement is influenced by the current. The presence of plankton in a water body can be used as a bioindicator because it has a high level of sensitivity and is also influenced by changes in water conditions. Changes in water conditions can be caused by human activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the structure of the plankton community in seagrass beds in the waters of Selangan Hamlet. This research was conducted in November-December 2019 in Selangan Hamlet, Bontang City, East Kalimantan. Data analysis includes abundance, diversity index, uniformity index and dominance index. The results showed that the composition of plankton species found in the waters of Selangan Hamlet at 4 stations with conditions at high tide and low tide obtained 13 plankton classes namely Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Oligotrichea, Dinophyceae, Foraminifera, Chlorophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, Conjugatophyceae, Hexanauplia, Crustaceae, Gastropoda, Tubulinea, and Euglenoidea consisting of 47 plankton species. Plankton abundance ranged from 893-2,514 ind/L. The structure of the plankton community in the waters of Selangan Hamlet has a Diversity Index (H') value in the medium category with a range of values of 2.28-2.99, Diversity Index (E) category of stable plankton communities with a range of values of 0.82-0.95, and Dominance Index (C) category there is no dominant genus at each research station with a range of values of 0.06-0.14.

Published: February 2025

By combining homogeneous dynamical systems, fractal measure theory, andergodic methods, this paper rigorously proves a version of Khintchine’s theorem forone-dimensional self-similar fractals satisfying the open set condition (OSC). Usinga fractal version of the Borel-Cantelli lemma and the mass distribution principle,the relationship between Diophantine approximation on fractal sets and changesin Hausdorff dimension is explicitly demonstrated. Numerical experiments usingthe Cantor set validate the theoretical results, while potential extensions to higher?dimensional and random fractals are explored.
Considerations for Beginning to Facilitate Conversations on the Inequitable Systems and Cultures of Oppression in Academic Science
Authors: Sancheznieto Fátima
Published: February 2025

Facilitating conversations on race, systemic racism, the culture of academic science, privilege, and marginalization requires continuous growth and learning by facilitators, and working in and through discomfort. In this resource, I compile a few considerations that have helped me to create space for discussions that tend to challenge facilitators and mentors alike because they are unused to such conversations. My hope is that this resource is used by those who hold positions of power and privilege in academic spaces and wish to engage in the work of culture and systems change as a beginning, and not an end, to their learning. It is not intended to be definitive, nor final, and should be used as only one tool in the area of facilitation.

Published: February 2025

This paper proposes a novel theoretical framework for dark energy,hypothesizing that dark energy arises from the dynamic interplay ofmultiple compactified dimensions rather than being an independentcosmological constant or an inflationary field. By introducing cou?pling and feedback mechanisms among compactified dimensions, weconstruct a dynamic model capable of explaining cosmic acceleratedexpansion, the Big Rip, and contraction effects. The limitations of ex?isting dark energy models are thoroughly discussed, highlighting theadvantages of the proposed model and suggesting potential experi?mental validation strategies.

Based on the geometric algebraic construction of self-similar fractal manifolds,this paper establishes a novel mathematical framework incorporating weightedchain complexes, the fractal Stokes theorem, and nonlocal spectral analysis, rig?orously proving the fractal Poincar´e duality theorem. By introducing a dynamicmeasure compensation mechanism and the theory of fractal functoriality, the frame?work resolves the invalidity of classical topological tools in fractional-dimensionalcontexts. Numerical experiments (Monte Carlo simulations and LIGO data anal?ysis) and physical models (fractal superconducting devices and AdS/CFT exten?sions) verify the reliability of the theory, offering systematic mathematical tools forcross-dimensional phenomena in quantum gravity and condensed matter physics.

Religious Elites, Politicization, and Intergroup Attitudes among Muslim Immigrants in the Western Europe
Authors: Suntay Osman
Published: February 2025

How do sermons from religious leaders with different view on the role of religion in politics affect intergroup attitudes among Muslim immigrants in the West? Although it is expected that Muslim religious leaders play an important role in shaping believers' attitudes and behaviors, we know less about how they do that, particularly in a Muslim minority-majority context in the West. Using a representative survey of 1,671 Turkish immigrants and a preregistered online survey experiment, we investigate the effects of inclusive religious messages on intergroup attitudes. Our observational analyses indicate that Muslims who hear sermons from non-politicized (vs politicized) religious leaders are less likely to support religious violence, feel hostility toward Christians, and are more likely to identify with both their ethnic and national groups. These effects are mediated by identity inclusiveness. The experimental results reveal that exposure to inclusive sermon from prototypical religious leader reduces support for religious violence and hostility toward Christians but does not affect other attitudes. Finally, we find that immigrants who listen to sermons from politicized religious leaders are no more resistant to changing their attitudes in response to inclusive sermons than others.

Published: February 2025

Sentences are not just mere strings of words or signs but manifest a complex internal structure. Linguistic research has demonstrated that sign languages and spoken languages both exhibit hierarchical constituent structure which determines how individual elements in a sentence relate to each other. Here, we report the first adaptation of the psycholinguistic “click” paradigm, which aims to demonstrate the relevance of hierarchical constituent structure during auditory language processing, to the visuo-spatial modality of sign languages. We performed two independent online experiments: The main experiment with a group of 53 deaf signers using German Sign Language (DGS) as their primary means of communication and a control experiment with a group of 53 hearing non-signers. Both groups were shown videos of syntactically complex sentences in DGS. A white flash (mimicking the “click” in the auditory domain) to which participants had to respond could occur as an overlay to the video at different levels in the constituent structure. Our pre- registered inferential analyses yielded no effect for our syntactic manipulations, neither in the group of signers nor in the group of non-signers. Additional exploratory analyses suggest general effects of attention during the processing of communicative signals, as even the group of non-signers’ behaviour was influenced by non-manual cues despite their lack of knowledge of DGS. We conclude that the simultaneous and time-shifted presence of different syntax-relevant cues (i.e., hands, mouthings, and non-manuals) makes the sign stream robust against disruption by extraneous visual signals and argue that non-signers attend to some non-manual cues due to their resemblance of communicative gestures.
The Effect of Rhythmic Cycle Length, Cultural Familiarity, and Musicianship on The Perception of North Indian Rhythmic Cycles.
Authors: Ahmad Nashra , Clayton Martin , Eerola Tuomas
Published: February 2025

The study explores the effect of length of rhythmic cycles, and the relationship between familiarity, musicianship and rhythmic cycle structure in their perception. While the impact of length has been explored for musical tones and words, this study extends the effect to the perception of rhythmic cycles, using four rhythmic patterns (with 7, 8, 10 and 16 beats), all derived from North Indian Classical Music. The results highlight that cultural exposure and musical training (not in the culture) affect one’s ability to learn and differentiate rhythmic patterns. Shorter rhythmic cycles were learned and recalled by Culturally Familiar Non-Musicians and Culturally Unfamiliar Musicians, while longer ones posed challenges. Culturally Unfamiliar Non-musician participants showed no learning or recall for the four rhythmic cycles. The effect of length did not stand in isolation and was impacted by the chunking process, observed when Culturally Unfamiliar Musicians differentiated the 10-beat rhythmic cycle even before learning.
Worker-Organization Goal Misalignment and Support for Collective Action
Authors: Burns Megan , Kraus Michael W.
Published: February 2025

As workplace inequality persists, understanding the psychological processes motivating collective action engagement becomes imperative. In one domain of collective action, labor unionization, membership in the US has continuously declined since the 1980s. Despite this decline, recent surveys suggest that pro-union sentiment is rising. Amid workplace inequity and rising public interest in unionization, we draw from research on collective action and organizational identification to examine whether exposure to worker-organization conflict and information about unions changes how workers evaluate existing and novel organizational grievance procedures, and consequently, increases pro-union sentiment. Across four studies (N = 3,143), we find that exposure to workplace conflicts and information about unions reduces workers’ perceived alignment with organizational grievance procedures and increases pro-union attitudes, relative to control conditions where participants are not exposed to information about unions. These findings have implications for employee wellbeing and for the psychological processes implicated in collective action organizing.
An Ingroup Critique of Self-Categorization Theory
Authors: Skorich Daniel
Published: February 2025

Self-Categorization Theory (Turner et al., 1987; 1994) has proven itself to be one of the most influential and robust explanatory theories in social psychology. Its two foundational texts have been cited almost 25,000 times and it has spurred theoretical, empirical, and applied research across a wide array of topics. Despite its successes, I will argue in this talk that a number of its theoretical and meta-theoretical commitments and the underdetermination of some of its core tenets hold it back. Specifically, I will outline 5 related issues in current statements, understandings, and/or operationalizations of the theory: (1) an overemphasis on (and sometimes conflation of) groups as categories; (2) a general ambiguity with regard to the nature of the stimuli being categorized; (3) an underappreciation of the distinction between categories and entities; (4) a relative absence of recursive embedding in conceptions of the self and of the relations between self and other; and (5) the implausibility (and perhaps the computational intractability) of meta-contrast as a basis for category differentiation. I will conclude the talk with a discussion of ways in which these challenges can be addressed, with the goal of strengthening Self-Categorization Theory and extending its scope into the future.
Preprint: Alcohol's effects during uncertain and uncontrollable stressors in the laboratory

Published: February 2025

Alcohol’s effects on reactivity to stressors depend on the nature of the stressor and the reactivity being assessed. Research identifying characteristics of stressors that modulate reactivity and clarifies the neurobehavioral, cognitive, and affective components of this reactivity may help prevent, reduce or treat the negative impacts of acute and chronic alcohol use with implications for other psychopathology involving maladaptive reactivity to stressors. We used a novel, multi-measure, cued electric shock stressor paradigm in a greater university community sample of adult recreational drinkers to test how alcohol (N=64), compared to No-alcohol (N=64), affects reactivity to stressors that vary in both their perceived certainty and controllability. Preregistered analyses suggested alcohol significantly dampened subjective anxiety (self-report) and defensive reactivity (startle potentiation) more during uncertain than during certain stressors regardless of controllability, suggesting that stressor uncertainty —but not uncontrollability— may be sufficient to enhance alcohol’s stress reactivity dampening and thus negative reinforcement potential.

Understanding consumer search behavior is crucial for businesses and policymakers aiming to effectively engage with consumers through product offerings and interventions. Consumer search in service for choice remains a significant topic in marketing, economics, and psychology although existing theories differ in fundamental assumptions and methodological approaches. Theoretical assumptions range from the order in which items are searched being independent of their value, to search being influenced by cognitive and visual factors. Methodological approaches vary from directly observing search (with eye tracking or click stream data), to inferring search from choice data alone. This article proposes a framework for integrating theoretical and methodological approaches to consumer search. This integration will help marketers and policymakers compare and apply theories to different contexts. Ultimately, it paves the way to a unified framework for understanding and guiding consumer behavior as well as strategic decisions in marketing and policy. We review five prominent theoretical models, each with distinct terminologies. For each model, we review its background, aims, core assumptions, and provide illustrative examples. Our contribution is twofold: (1) we initiate a synthesis to resolve terminological differences and outline a path toward theory integration, and (2) we discuss how our framework can guide future research and foster a more comprehensive understanding of consumer search and choice.
Occupational accidents in a woodcraft village in Vietnam
Authors: Vu Van Thu , Truong Thi Ly
Published: February 2025

Introduction: In Vietnam, carpentry is one of fourteen main craft groups, making a significant contribution to socio-economic development. Carpentry villages are facing a fairly common situation of labor accidents. Meanwhile, research on occupational accidents in wood craft villages in Vietnam is still limited. This study focuses on studying the current situation of injuries caused by occupational accidents to workers in wood craft villages. Potential causes of injuries caused by occupational accidents are also researched, analyzed and clarified.
Methods: The article is based on the qualitative research results of 05 in-depth interviews and the quantitative research results of 385 questionnaires. The research subjects are workers directly involved in wooden furniture production in La Xuyen wood craft villages.
Results: The study shows that the situation of occupational accidents among direct workers in wood craft villages is very alarming and quite common, including serious and fatal occupational accidents. Occupational accidents happen to both men and women, in which men often suffer more serious and fatal occupational accidents than women. The main cause of occupational accidents is that production activities are spontaneous in nature, without safe working procedures. There are no labor safety regulations as well as labor safety instructions at the workplace.
Conclusion: The study's findings promote the development of qualitative and quantitative research on issues related to occupational accidents and measures to prevent occupational accidents in wood craft villages. Vietnamese local authorities need to further strengthen their attention on ensuring occupational safety and health in the area, and promote propaganda and education to raise people's awareness in the prevention and control of occupational diseases or accidents. They also need to open training courses on instructions to operate machines and use personal protective equipment safely, and reduce the risks of occupational accidents for workers in the craft villages.
The Impact of GDP Growth, Remittance and Urbanization on Poverty Reduction in Nepal
Authors: Kumar Nand Kishor , Paudel Omkar
Published: February 2025

This paper analyzes the dynamics of poverty reduction in Nepal from 1995 to 2023, focusing on the impacts of economic growth, remittances, and urbanization. Employing data from four rounds of the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS), this research employs econometric methods with Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), to investigate long-run relationships among the variables. The findings of this paper expose a significant negative relationship between GDP growth and the poverty headcount rate, indicating that a 1% increase in GDP per capita leads to a 0.32% decrease in poverty levels. Remittances emerge as a critical factor in poverty alleviation, particularly in rural areas, although reliance on remittances poses risks due to potential fluctuations in global economies. Additionally, this paper highlights the dual challenges posed by urbanization, as increased urban population growth correlates with rising poverty rates, necessitating comprehensive urban policies that address housing and employment needs. This research identifies significant regional disparities in poverty levels, calling for targeted interventions to address the exclusive challenges confronted by both rural and urban populations. Overall, this paper contributes to the literature by providing insights into the complex interplay between economic growth, remittances, and urbanization, and suggests avenues for future research on climate change and digital inequality in Nepal.
Między kłączem i dekonstrukcją wobec kompleksów polskiej humanistyki. Znaniecki w kontekstach lektury (po)lacanowskiej
Authors: Węc Klaudia Izabela
Published: February 2025

Prezentowany tekst jest próbą ukazania zarysu dwóch strategii metodologicznych: Parallaxic praxis oraz badań rizomatycznych na tle analizy książki Lecha Witkowskiego Uroszczenia i transaktualność w humanistyce. Florian Znaniecki: dziedzictwo idei i jego pęknięcia. Prowadzone rozważania osadzone są w paradygmacie badań spekulatywnych wywodzących się z badań krytycznych, które po etapie badań demaskacyjnych (zrealizowanych przez L. Witkowskiego) osadzają dyskurs w polu badań post-krytycznych. Przyjmuję założenie, że badania post-krytyczne pozwalają na afirmację wizji podmiotu prowadzącej do inicjacji jego działań osadzonych w przestrzeni wolności i uznania. W perspektywie poznawczej chodzi również o ukazanie możliwej aplikacji prac Znanieckiego z uwypukleniem psychoanalitycznych korzeni odnoszących się do takich znaczących jak: kompleks, pragnienie/życzenie, afekt, sublimacja, twórczość, wychowanie czy kultura. W warstwie interpretacyjnej zostają przedstawione aspekty mające swe źródło w transmetodologii np. twórczość, której działanie ujawnia się w podmiocie albo dla podmiotu. Aspekt krytyczny odnosić się będzie do współczesnych ograniczeń metodologicznych wynikających z uproszczonej wizji podmiotu i jego pozycji wobec natury, kultury oraz uwarunkowań społecznych. Dla dyskursu pedagogicznego w polu założeń badawczych sformułowane zostanie pytanie: jak rozwijać „arystokrację umysłową”, by zaistniała możliwość wydobycia się z marazmu intelektualnego? Przedstawione analizy mają na celu podążanie za koniecznością uruchomienia zmiany myślenia o historii oraz rozwoju współczesnej myśli humanistycznej również, jako wizji zmiany metodologicznej możliwej dzięki transmetodologicznych postulatów uwalniających badaczy z rygoru badań empirycznych. Przyjęty paradygmat badań spekulacyjnych można potraktować jako pretekst pozwalający uruchomić interpretację osadzoną w ramach (post)lacanowskiego dyskursu psychoanalitycznego. Ostatecznie chodzi o pewną intelektualną grę językową prowadzącą do przekroczenia horyzontu rozumu instrumentalnego oraz wyjście poza tendencję instrumentalizowania człowieka, jako takiego w sprzeciwie wobec podporządkowania podmiotu władzy determinantów poznawczych osadzonych w porządku tego, co w perspektywie transmetodologii możemy nazwać metodologicznym kolonializmem. Ontologiczny i epistemologiczny wymiar tekstu zbudowany jest w oparciu o narzędzia interpretacji psychoanalizy Jacquesa Lacana.

Authors: Anderson Stacy L. , Miller Lynda M.J. , Jolly Lauren , Hunt Julie A.
Published: February 2025

Badging or micro-credentialing programs have been used in higher education to allow students to pursue additional skills training helpful to their intended career path. These programs, overseen by faculty members and tracked using digital certification software, create an incorruptible ledger of student learning and achievement that can be shared with potential employers and providers of advanced training at the student's discretion. This teaching tip describes the implementation of a voluntary badging program for students at one veterinary college, including faculty member and student engagement in the badging program during its first year of implementation. During that year, five faculty members created seven unique badges, each with three levels of achievement (bronze, silver, and gold). During the first year, 10 badges were awarded to 8 students, and numerous other students were in the process of completing badge requirements. Students reported participating in the program to gain more skill in an area of interest and because they thought the program would be beneficial in getting a job or into an advanced training program. The majority of students participating during the program's first year reported planning to continue working on badges in the next year. An additional cohort of students who did not participate in the first year also expressed interest in starting to work on badges. The badging program allowed students to document their progress in learning skills of interest. The college intends to develop additional badges in areas of high student interest and continue research into stakeholders’ opinions of the badges received.

Authors: Pacheco-Costa Rafael , Da Silva Horvath Luã , Nascimento Santos Israel
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Durante a pandemia causada pelo COVID-19 ficou evidente o dano causado no epitélio olfatório pelo SARS-CoV-2, resultando em anosmia transitória ou permanente. Recentes estudos mostram a possibilidade da regeneração do epitélio olfatório danificado pelo vírus, resultando na recuperação do olfato, um sentido de grande importância para o comportamento humano e para a qualidade de vida. No entanto, quais as técnicas mais utilizadas e os resultados alcançados não estão elucidados. Objetivo: Descrever os tratamentos para a anosmia após a Covid-19. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa com busca de artigos publicados na íntegra nas bases de dados Cochrane library e PubMed. A literatura científica em língua inglesa de janeiro de 2020 até setembro de 2024 foi sistematicamente analisada com a finalidade de identificar os artigos que investiguem os tratamentos utilizados na recuperação da anosmia de pacientes, bem como aqueles com maior potencial de recuperação do olfato.  Os descritores, “Covid-19”, “anosmia” e “treatment” foram usados. Foram incluídos apenas artigos originais qualitativos, quantitativos e de múltiplos métodos em humanos. Resultados: Foram recuperados 222 artigos completos.  Os artigos que não relatavam o tratamento, estavam em duplicata, ou utilizaram tratamentos preventivos para a Covid-19 foram desconsiderados, restando 39 artigos. A maior parte dos estudos utilizou corticoides (31%); ácidos graxos (21%), agentes quelantes (18%) e antimicrobianos (3%) para recuperar a olfação.

Published: February 2025

Saudi Terfezia claveryi truffles common name is Al Fag’a, Al-Kam’ah is the classic Arabic name, which means ‘‘hidden”. It has gained attention due to aroma for culinary use and high nutritional content. The goal was to prove that the Saudi custom for Saudi Terfezia claveryi truffles is scientifically correct through the procedure and proving that the basic components have a role in eliminating eye pathogens. Methodology was included preparing the sample for the experiment, preparing microbial isolates for the experiment and the experiment under investigation. The results showed that the Saudi Terfezia claveryi truffles water extract was highly effective against bacteria and fungi eye pathogens. That was found the most effective on them were Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, Micrococcus flavus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Candida sp., except for Aspergillus sp. Saudi Terfezia claveryi truffles water extract effects through the means were (0.0082-0.0094) as grade A were included Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumonia. While grade B were included Micrococcus flavus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus mirabilis, their means were (0.0188-0.0216). The grad C were included Chlamydia trachomatis, and Candida sp., their means was (0.0266-0.0294). Although Aspergillus sp., was under test but was not reacted with the water extract. That concluded the Saudi habit of using Saudi Terfezia claveryi truffles had been proven experimentally due to the antimicrobial substances in its contents, that affect the eye pathogens. That was recommended that the Saudi Terfezia claveryi truffles must be directed to the pharmacy department to obtain the appropriate medication to treat eye pathogens.
Development of the Industry of Military Medical Supply of NATO operations

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also known as the North Atlantic Alliance or NATO, is an international intergovernmental organization and a military-political alliance of North America and Europe. It guarantees collective defense of the Alliance members based on its core tasks, namely: deterrence and defense, crisis prevention and resolution, and security through cooperation. An important component of Ukraine's integration into the global security space is cooperation with international intergovernmental organizations. Ukraine's military cooperation with NATO member countries is considered a key element of partnership with the organization as a whole.

NATO's medical support issues are viewed exclusively in the context of national responsibility by member states. NATO's new operations have drawn increased attention to the need for coordination in providing medical aid during disaster relief and humanitarian operations. NATO operations in special (extreme) conditions have led to further development in the field of medical support. Today, NATO military medicine involves the use of advanced practices to optimize care for the wounded. The foundation is basic training (planning), which allows adaptation to challenges posed by the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of casualties, extreme environmental conditions, logistical constraints, and the reality that mission completion may take precedence over medical needs. This concept is based on real-world experience and lessons learned from ongoing military conflicts. The Strategy for the Development of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine until 2035 defines long-term tasks aimed at gradually creating the Medical Forces of the future. It envisions the development and implementation of modern, effective medical technologies for the provision of medical care, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as conducting medical and preventive measures. The implementation of NATO countries' positive experience in organizing medical support in emergency situations in Ukraine will bring the state's capabilities closer to international basic requirements. Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration will contribute to creating a unified national medical space and forming its own model for responding to emergencies.
Threat of Prostate Cancer by Diabetes: The Combination effects of Metformin and Sulfonylurea
Authors: Saher Ammarah
Published: February 2025

Cancer and diabetes are chronic, multifarious, and potentially lethal diseases. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death, while cancer is the second leading cause of death, the latter being possibly also under reported. There is an increasing body of data published in current years, which indicates a significant increase in the incidence of cancer in diabetic patients. The predicted worldwide incidence of diabetes grew from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030. For all people over 55, about 16.7% have diabetes and 50% have cancer. Overall, diabetes is present in 8–18% of cancer patients. The medicine of selection used for the cure of type 2 diabetes is metformin & sulfonylurea. The proof obtained from basically of clinical, population, and science-based studies support metformin along with sulfonylurea as anticancer influence. Nevertheless, contingent controlled clinical testing does not offer ample evidence that metformin, combined with sulfonylurea, has a significant protective effect on cancer death or incidence. Some of the most advantages drawbacks of these tastings are the short follow-up time. In order to present the best response to this challenge, more long-term contingent maintained clinical testing specifically designed to evaluate metformin along with the effect of sulfonylurea on cancer risk is required.
Stimulation of Lymphoma in Rat by Chloramphenicol & Cyclophosphamide
Authors: Rasheed Arsalan
Published: February 2025

Cyclophosphamide is responsible for long-lasting defects in the hematopoietic stem cells and the rat immune system. The planned studies to determine whether chloramphenicol further weakened the already defective hematopoietic stem cells of rats pretreated with cyclophosphamide, and the unexpectedly observed that lymphomas formed in relatively high incidence by rats provided injections of the combination of cyclophosphamide and chloramphenicol. For certain affected rats leukocytosis with lymphoblasts occurred in the peripheral blood. The malignant cell is thymic lymphoblast. Ten of the 40 rat, which taken both chloramphenicol and cyclophosphamide raised lymphomas. Ten of the remaining 30 rat, which treated with chloramphenicol developed lymphomas. And the remaining 20 rat of ten, which consumed only cyclophosphamide developed lymphomas. The lymphoma doesn’t develop in control rat during the experimental periods. The present studies conclude that both cyclophosphamide and chloramphenicol can cause lymphomas in rats that are not known to spontaneously develop these. The combination of both Cyclophosphamide and Chloramphenicol increased the incidence and the progression of the disease accelerated.
