  • - The study investigates the prevalence of Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV, identifying a considerable global burden of these co-infections.
  • - Using a systematic review and meta-analysis of 56 studies involving over 307,000 participants, researchers found a pooled prevalence of 7% for HCV and 9% for HBV among the HIV-infected MSM population.
  • - Results revealed geographic variation in prevalence rates, with the lowest rates in Asia (5.84% for HCV) and the highest in Europe (7.76% for HCV), emphasizing the need for future research on factors contributing to these

Article Synopsis
  • Conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be effective but often lead to serious side effects and resistance, highlighting the need for safer options in cancer therapy.
  • Nanomaterials are being researched in cancer nanotheranostics to combine detection and treatment, facilitating better diagnosis, imaging, dosage, and monitoring of therapeutic effectiveness.
  • This review discusses the properties of various metal-based nanotheranostic systems, their clinical pros and cons, and suggests future research paths to improve the safety and effectiveness of these nanoparticles in cancer treatment.

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is one of the longest viral pandemics in the history of mankind, which have caused millions of deaths globally and induced severe deformities in the survivals. For instance, fibrosis and cavities in the infected lungs of COVID-19 are some of the complications observed in infected patients post COVID-19 recovery. These health abnormalities, including is multiple organ failure-the most striking pathological features of COVID-19-have been linked with diverse distribution of ACE2 receptor.
