Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied a common cat tapeworm called H. taeniaeformis in urban rats in Tamale, Ghana, to learn about its genetic diversity and how it spreads.
- They found that a high number of rats (64 out of 80) were infected with this tapeworm and discovered unique DNA patterns in the worms.
- This research is important because it’s the first time they’ve looked at the genetic differences of this tapeworm in Ghana, helping to understand where it lives in Africa.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with higher mortality as a result of poor prognosis and unavailability of effective treatment options. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to aid in differentiating early hepatocellular carcinoma from liver cirrhosis patients. Three hundred and nine (309) patients including 155 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 154 patients with liver cirrhosis were enrolled in this study.
