Adolescent obesity is a significant public health threat in Malaysia, with one in three adolescents classified as overweight or obese. However, there is limited research examining the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to healthy lifestyles among target population. This study aims to provide a baseline understanding of their knowledge gaps and to explore the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and KAP scores.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga as a therapeutic intervention for reducing anxi ety symptoms, improving comorbid depression and somatic complaints, and enhancing quality of life in adults with Gener alized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Methods: A systematic search of PubMed and CINAHL was conducted up to August 2025. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251152980). Eligible studies included randomized controlled and clinical trials evaluating yoga inter ventions in adults diagnosed with GAD based on DSM criteria. Data extraction focused on intervention type, outcomes, and treatment effects. Risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tools, and results were synthesized narratively due to heterogeneity

The technique of sentinel lymph node biopsy has been widely used in early endometrial cancer in recent years, and a large number of evidence-based medical studies have now supported the therapeutic efficacy of sentinel lymph node biopsy as an alternative to traditional systematic lymph node dissection.

Bovine Trypanosomiasis known as Gendi in Ethiopia, is one of the major diseases of livestock. The disease results in loss of livestock and agricultural productivity with severe socio-economic impacts. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of the community towards Bovine Trypanosomiasis in selected areas of Loka Abaya district, Sidama, Ethiopia. Descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire by face-to-face interview and information was collected on knowledge, attitudes, control and treatment practices associated with Bovine Try panosomiasis. The Results showed that all the respondents have knowledge of tsetse and Trypanosomiasis. They heard about the disease and tsetse fly in different ways, i.e., from the community, animal health workers and when their animal was sick. Majority (66.7 %) treat their animals with trypanocide when infected. They buy drug from local dispenser’s and treat and administer the drug themselves not by veterinary professionals. The study revealed that the respondents have con siderable knowledge about Bovine trypanosomiasis and tsetse, as important factors in disease control and treatment. However, the misuse and unsystematic use of some trypanocidal drugs by the community is reported to be one of the predisposing factors for the development of drug resistance which has become a menace in the control of the disease. Therefore, regulatory enforcement and thorough education on the use of drug and treatment should be considered by the veterinarians and other stakeholders
