Resolving Taxonomic Ambiguities in Ascaris Species: Insights From a Scanning Electron Microscopy Study of Ascaris lumbricoides.

Ascariasis, caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, is a major public health issue, especially in developing nations such as Pakistan. It impacts millions, causing significant morbidity through starvation, stunted growth in children, and a variety of gastrointestinal issues. The taxonomy of the Ascaris genus, notably the distinction between A.

Identifying subgroups deriving the most benefit from PD-1 checkpoint inhibition plus chemotherapy in advanced metastatic triple-negative breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy has demonstrated an enhancement in progression-free survival (PFS) for individuals with advanced and metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) when compared to the use of chemotherapy alone. Nevertheless, the extent to which different subgroups of metastatic TNBC patients experience this benefit remains uncertain.

Objectives: Our objective was to conduct subgroup analyses to more precisely identify the factors influencing these outcomes.

Modulation of the local angiotensin II: Augmentation of ferroptosis and radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via the HIF-1α-HILPDA axis.

Purpose: Radiotherapy presents a curative approach for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC); however, the cellular radiosensitivity heterogeneity limits its efficacy. Thus, investigating the specific mechanisms of radioresistance in NPC is crucial for identifying and employing effective radiosensitizing agents to enhance treatment success.

Methods And Materials: Radioresistant NPC cell lines HONE1-RR and SUNE1-RR were established.

A focused review on photocatalytic potential of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) based metal oxide-nanostructures for effective remediation of most overused antibiotics.

Researchers in the field of photocatalysis are interested in finding a solution to the problem of charge transfer and recombination in photodegradation mechanisms. The ideal photoactive catalyst would be inexpensive, environmentally friendly, easily manufactured, and highly efficient. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) and metal oxide (MOx) based nanocomposites (g-CN/MOx) are among the photocatalysts that provide the best results in terms of charge transfer capacity, redox capabilities, and charge recombination inhibition.

A meta-analysis of AI and machine learning in project management: Optimizing vaccine development for emerging viral threats in biotechnology.

Objectives: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have emerged as transformative technologies across various industries, including healthcare, biotechnology, and vaccine development. These technologies offer immense potential to improve project management efficiency, decision-making, and resource utilization, especially in complex tasks such as vaccine development and healthcare innovations.

Methods: A systematic meta-analysis was conducted by reviewing studies from databases like PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Google Scholar until September 2024.
