Kojic Acid Derivative as an Antimitotic Agent That Selectively Kills Tumour Cells.

The primary method used to pharmacologically arrest cancer development and its metastasis is to disrupt the cell division process. There are a few approaches that may be used to meet this objective, mainly through inhibiting DNA replication or mitosis. Despite intensive studies on new chemotherapeutics, the biggest problem remains the side effects associated with the inhibition of cell division in non-tumoural host cells.

Short- and Long-Term Effects of Inhaled Ultrafine Particles on Blood Pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Air pollution contributes to up to 60% of premature mortality worldwide by worsening cardiovascular conditions. Ultrafine particles (UFPs) may negatively affect cardiovascular outcomes, and epidemiological studies have linked them to short- and long-term blood pressure (BP) imbalance. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the short- and long-term effects of UFP exposure on systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure.

A systematic review of procedural and sampling techniques for cryobiopsy in interstitial lung disease.

Background: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is an alternative to surgical lung biopsy for histopathological evaluation of unclassifiable interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD diagnosed with low confidence. This meta-analysis synthesised current literature regarding cryobiopsy diagnostic performance and safety, focusing on procedural and sampling techniques.

Methods: Medline and Embase were searched on 11 April 2022.

Mitigating diabetes associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein aggregation through pharmacological interventions.

Diabetes mellitus, a complex metabolic disorder, presents a growing global health challenge. In 2021, there were 529 million diabetics worldwide. At the super-regional level, Oceania, the Middle East, and North Africa had the highest age-standardized rates.
