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.

- Mango seeds, a byproduct of mango juice processing, are rich in starch, but traditional extraction methods are inefficient and environmentally harmful.* -
- The study improved starch extraction from mango seed cotyledons using ultrasound, achieving a maximum yield of 50.74%, which is 82.4% higher than conventional methods.* -
- The ultrasound method enhanced starch purity and properties while maintaining its structure, indicating potential uses in food and pharmaceuticals.*
Article Synopsis
- The Brazilian Amazon is a key area for hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) with hard-to-reach locations, making it crucial to study how the virus spreads there.
- A molecular analysis of HDV cases, involving 35 patients from Rondônia, Brazil, was conducted using PCR and sequencing to track the virus's evolution and transmission over time.
- Findings indicate that all samples were HDV-3, with an estimated entry into Brazil around 1820, suggesting complex migration patterns throughout the region over the past two centuries.*
Leishmaniosis, caused by phlebotomine sand fly-borne Leishmania spp., is a multi-host and zoonotic disease in tropical, subtropical and temperate climates, worldwide. Leishmania infantum is the only endemic pathogenic species in Europe, and exposure to this protozoan has previously been reported in a wide range of wild mammals, including felids.

We had found these signals were generated by two -encoded receptors, called and Here we show that genes are members of an extended family consisting of >37 loci, and co-expressed with an even more diverse gene family-the (). The are membrane proteins related to , but include conserved tyrosine motifs, including ITIMs and hemITAMs.
