Ginsenoside Rg3 in Cancer Research: Current Trends and Future Prospects - A Review.

Cancer is one of the most devastating illnesses in the world, impacting millions of individuals every year. Despite various therapies, the final effect is unsatisfactory. Chemotherapy currently dominates as the primary option of treatment.

Placental Pathology and Its Associations With Clinical Signs in Different Subtypes of Fetal Growth Restriction.

Objective: We evaluated placental alterations in different subtypes of fetal growth restriction (FGR) to determine any clinical associations.

Methods: FGR placentas classified according to the Amsterdam criteria were correlated with clinical findings. Percentage of intact terminal villi and villous capillarization ratio were calculated in each specimen.

Correlations of Placental Histopathology, Neonatal Outcome, and Cardiotocogram Baseline Variability and Acceleration Patterns in the Growth Restricted Preterm Population.

Objective: To evaluate the possible connections of cardiotocography (CTG) signs with neonatal outcome and placental histopathology between growth restricted preterms.

Materials And Methods: Placental slides, baseline variability, and acceleration patterns of cardiotocograms, and neonatal parameters were studied retrospectively. Placental histopathological changes were diagnosed according to the Amsterdam criteria; percentage of intact terminal villi and capillarization of villi were also studied.

Placental pathology of preeclampsia from a clinical point of view: Correlation between placental histopathology, clinical signs of preeclampsia and neonatal outcome.

Aim: To evaluate the associations between placental histopathology (signs of maternal and fetal vascular malperfusion, delayed villous maturation, villitis of unknown etiology) and subtypes of preeclampsia by onset, clinical aspects of the disease and neonatal outcome.

Methods: Placental slides from preeclamptic pregnancies were retrospectively reviewed according to a uniform scheme. Information regarding obstetrical anamnesis, clinical data and perinatal outcome was collected from charts, and statistical analysis was performed in order to demonstrate associations between microscopic placental alterations and different aspects of preeclampsia.

Assessment of groundwater vulnerability to anthropogenic pollution and seawater intrusion in a small tropical island using index-based methods.

In this work, the DRASTIC and GALDIT models were employed to determine the groundwater vulnerability to contamination from anthropogenic activities and seawater intrusion in Kapas Island. In addition, the work also utilized sensitivity analysis to evaluate the influence of each individual parameter used in developing the final models. Based on these effects and variation indices of the said parameters, new effective weights were determined and were used to create modified DRASTIC and GALDIT models.
