Introduction: From the observation of a negative relationship between UV-B exposure and cancer rates, we hypothesized that vitamin D (VD) may play a protective role in oncogenesis. Moreover, repurposing a well-known and relatively safe drug for conditions with dismal prospects, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is a tempting idea. Thus, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding the role of VD in the prevention and treatment of PDAC.

October 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how lidocaine could protect against damage caused by testicular torsion and detorsion in rats.
- It involved three groups: a control group, a group experiencing ischemic injury, and a treatment group receiving lidocaine before reperfusion.
- Results showed that lidocaine reduced harmful biochemical markers, lowered inflammation, boosted antioxidant activity, and improved testicular health compared to the group without lidocaine treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * It is caused by the immune system acting up, and while there are treatments like creams and medicines, they don’t always work and can have bad side effects.
- * Some scientists are studying CBD, a compound from cannabis plants, to see if it can help with psoriasis by reducing swelling, itching, and helping the skin stay hydrated.
