Synthesis and Anticancer Evaluation of -Alkylated (-Chalcone Derivatives: A Focus on Estrogen Receptor Inhibition.

Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic agents. This study investigated the synthesis and biological evaluation of -alkyl ()-chalcone derivatives (-) as potential anticancer agents. The compounds were synthesized via aldol condensation of substituted aldehydes and acetophenones, with structures confirmed by IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry.

Tetrahydrobiopterin in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Friend or Foe?

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic multisystem disease characterized by severe muscle fatigue, pain, dizziness, and brain fog. The two most common symptoms are post-exertional malaise (PEM) and orthostatic intolerance (OI). ME/CFS patients with OI (ME+OI) suffer from dizziness or faintness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure while maintaining an upright posture.

Prepartum Dietary Supplementation of Potassium Humate Improves Postpartum Lactation Performance, Metabolic Profile of Multiparous Cows, and Immune Response of Their Calves.

This research was carried out to determine the effects of potassium humate on the lactation performance and metabolic parameters of dairy cows during the transition period. Potassium humate was added to the concentrate feed at the following levels: (a) control (0%), (b) 0.5%, (c) 1%, (d) 1.

First report of MDR virulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa in apparently healthy Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) in Bangladesh.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen associated conditions like septicaemia, respiratory disorders, and diarrhoea in poultry, particularly in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The infection causes huge economical losses due to its high transmissibility, mortality and zoonotic potential.

Risk and Causative Factors of Psychological Harm Among Construction Workers: A Systematic Review.

Background: The construction industry, known for its high-risk environment, increasingly acknowledges the psychological risks to workers. Despite well-documented physical hazards, mental health challenges within this workforce have garnered attention. This systematic review provides a scholarly synthesis of literature on psychological risks and their causative factors affecting construction workers, adhering to PRISMA protocols.
