Inhibition of transcriptional regulation of detoxification genes contributes to insecticide resistance management in Spodoptera exigua.

Synthetic insecticides have been widely used for the prevention and control of disease vectors and agricultural pests. However, frequent uses of insecticides have resulted in the development of insecticide resistance in these insect pests. The resistance adversely affects the efficacy of insecticides, and seriously reduces the lifespan of insecticides.

Quantifying years of life lost in Australia: a multiple cause of death analysis.

Background: Deaths in Australia and other high-income countries increasingly involve multiple conditions. However, key burden of disease measures typically only use the underlying cause of death (UC). We quantified sex and cause-specific years of life lost (YLL) based on UC compared with a method integrating multiple causes of death.

Incidence of adverse drug reactions among tuberculosis patients initiated on daily drug regimen in a southern district of Karnataka.

Aim: The study aimed to determine the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) among newly diagnosed tuberculosis (TB) patients receiving daily drug regimen with fixed-dose combination treatment under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program.

Materials And Methods: A community-based prospective cohort study was carried out in the Udupi district. Over 12 months, all newly diagnosed TB patients of either gender were included from 63 primary health centers and 6 community health centers, and ADRs were recorded by personal interviews.

Novel probiotics adsorbing and excreting microplastics show potential gut health benefits.

Microplastics (MP) contamination in food and water poses significant health risks. While microbes that form biofilm show potential for removing MP from the environment, no methods currently exist to eliminate these non-degradable MP from the human body. In this study, we propose using probiotics to adsorb and remove ingested MP within the gut.

The Role of NF-κB/MIR155HG in Regulating the Stemness and Radioresistance in Breast Cancer Stem Cells.

Background: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are instrumental in treatment resistance, recurrence, and metastasis. The development of breast cancer and radiation sensitivity is intimately pertinent to long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). This work is formulated to investigate how the lncRNA affects the stemness and radioresistance of BCSCs.
