Evidence of human exposure and associated risk factors to Rift Valley fever in selected districts of Central and Western Zambia.

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an important viral zoonotic disease that not only affects ruminants but causes serious morbidity and mortality in humans. In humans, its symptoms range from mild flu-like signs to a severe form such as retinal damage, meningoencephalitis to haemorrhagic fever. In this study, 202 human serum samples were collected from central and western parts of Zambia and tested for RVF-specific antibodies using a commercially available ELISA kit.

Docetaxel and niclosamide-loaded nanofiber systems for improved chemo-therapeutic activity and resistance reversal in prostate cancer.

Objective: The objective of the study was to tackle the recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) post-surgery and to re-sensitize the docetaxel (DTX)-resistant PC-3 cells to chemo-therapy using NIC.

Significance: Prolonged DTX therapy leads to the emergence of chemo-resistance by overexpression of PI3K-AKT pathway in PCa along with tumor recurrence post-surgery. Suppression of this pathway could be essential in improving the anticancer activity of DTX and re-sensitizing the resistant cells.
