The Impact of Tumor Stage and Histopathology on Survival Outcomes in Esophageal Cancer Patients over the Past Decade.

Background: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, continuing to be a significant public health concern. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of staging and histopathology of EC on associated mortality. The study also aims to further investigate clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and survival outcomes in patients diagnosed with EC between 2010 and 2017.

Dietary inclusion of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal, with exogenous protease supplementation, in practical diets for striped catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus, Sauvage 1878).

Fishmeal (FM) is a key component of commercial fish feeds, but due its unsustainable supply, the search for quality alternatives of FM has become a significant area of investigation worldwide. The insect-based proteins such as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are being recognized as an alternative ingredient. However, anti-nutritional factors in these alternatives may negatively affect nutrient utilization in fish.

Survival Outcomes of U.S. Patients with CMML: A Two-Decade Analysis from the SEER Database.

Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) is a rare and aggressive form of leukemia with characteristics of both myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs). This study aims to explore the clinical features, survival outcomes, and prognostic factors in CMML patients over the past 20 years using a large sample. The study data from 4124 patients diagnosed with CMML between 2000 and 2017 were sourced from the SEER database.

By-product distribution and cytotoxicity assessment of ZnO-assisted photocatalytic degradation of reactive blue 250 dye.

This research examined the effectiveness and feasibility of utilizing ultraviolet (UV) assisted photo-catalysis to treat wastewater effluents from textile production containing reactive blue 250 (RB 250) dye. Molecular oxygen and active species like O , HO , HO and OH play crucial roles in the degradation process. Additionally, the degradation of dyes is influenced by several factors, including dye concentration, duration of UV irradiation, pH levels, concentration of HO, and the catalyst.
