Breast and esophageal cancer are the most aggressive and prominent causes of death worldwide. In addition, these cancers showed resistance to current chemotherapy regimens with limited success rates and fatal outcomes. Recently many studies reported the significant cytotoxic effects of phenolic and terpene fractions extracted from various species against different cancer cell lines.

This review aims to summarize the relationship between serum vitamin D status, assessed by 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level, and inflammatory biomarkers in children and adults with asthma.
Methods: A literature search of interventional and observational studies on 25(OH)D up to November 2022 was conducted across six electronic databases.
Carcinoma of the colon and rectum, also known as colorectal cancer, ranks as the third most frequently diagnosed malignancy globally. Sorafenib exhibits broad-spectrum antitumor activity against Raf, VEGF, and PDGF pathways in hepatocellular, thyroid, and renal cancers, but faces resistance in colorectal malignancies. 6-Shogaol, a prominent natural compound found in Zingiberaceae, exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antiemetic properties.

- * The study assesses different numerical linearization techniques—finite difference central (FDC), finite forward difference (FDF), and operator-based linearization (OBL)—focusing on their accuracy and computational efficiency.
- * Results highlight that FDC is highly accurate but slower, OBL is fast but suited for simpler scenarios, and FDF balances precision and speed, guiding the selection of methods for enhancing reservoir simulation performance.
Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the awareness, attitudes, and practices related to breast self-examination (BSE) among female patients with breast cancer in Baghdad Medical City.
- Of the 100 participants, 71 were aware of BSE, mainly through social media, but many struggled to perform it correctly due to a lack of understanding.
- Significant connections were found between timely BSE initiation and its proper execution, as well as an association between performing BSE correctly and the early detection of breast cancer.
