Article Synopsis
- Malaria, caused by Plasmodium spp. and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a significant global health threat, with 249 million cases and 608,000 deaths reported in 2022.
- The study evaluated the GENEYE® ERA Plasmodium detection kit for rapid and accurate malaria diagnosis in the Brazilian Amazon, comparing it with traditional methods like microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDT).
- Results indicated that the ERA test demonstrated 100% sensitivity alongside qPCR, while microscopy and RDT had lower sensitivity, highlighting the need for improved diagnostic tools in malaria-endemic regions.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. Plants from genus have been studied for their biological activities. Here we evaluated the antitumor activity of essential oil in several cancer cell lines and its phytochemical composition.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores an edible coating made from alginate and beeswax nanoparticles to extend the shelf life of yellow passion fruit.
- The coating improved the fruit's quality by reducing respiration rates and weight loss while preserving acidity and antioxidant properties.
- Results indicated a 3-day extension in shelf life, confirming the potential of this biocomposite coating for sustainable fruit preservation.
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the second most frequent type of neoplasm in childhood and adolescence, after leukemia. Despite the incorporation of molecular classification and improvement of protocols combining chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy, CNS tumors are still the most lethal neoplasm in this age group. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool to map the distribution of molecular species in tissue sections.
