Raf Kinase Inhibitor Protein (RKIP) is an important regulator of the MAPK signaling pathway in multicellular eukaryotes. Plasmodium falciparum RKIP (PfRKIP) is a putative phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP) that shares limited similarity with Homo sapiens RKIP (HsRKIP). Interestingly, critical components of the MAPK pathway are not expressed in malaria parasites and the physiological function of PfRKIP remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on estimating the prevalence of anaemia and beta-thalassemia in the tribal population of the Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district in Telangana, particularly among the Banjara community.
  • - It involved 479 participants, revealing that 32% of females and 15.5% of males were anaemic, with a small percentage of females experiencing severe anaemia compared to primarily moderate anaemia in males.
  • - The final conclusion showed a beta-thalassemia prevalence of 6.7% in the Banjara population, identified through haemoglobin levels and the Mentzer index as screening tools.

Breast cancer classification plays a crucial role in healthcare, especially in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients. Traditional methods for classifying breast cancer based on histopathological images often suffer from limited accuracy, which can hinder early detection and treatment. Hence, this paper devises a novel Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare system using SqueezeNet_Fractional Dung Beetle Optimization (Squeeze_FDBO) for breast cancer detection.

We report nucleophilic displacement reactions that can increase the dimensionality or coordination number of silver-based metal-organic chalcogenolates (MOChas). MOChas are crystalline ensembles containing one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) inorganic topologies with structures and properties defined by the choice of metal, chalcogen, and ligand. MOChas can be readily prepared from a variety of small-molecule ligands and metals or metal ions.
