Citronellol (CT) is a naturally occurring lipophilic monoterpenoid which has shown anticancer effects in numerous cancerous cell lines. This study was, therefore, designed to examine CT's potential as an anticancer agent against glioblastoma (GBM). Network pharmacology analysis was employed to identify potential anticancer targets of CT.

This study investigates the structural, vibrational, and biological properties of novel palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with 5-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (5ClL) and 4-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (4ClL) ligands. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, combined with DFT (ωB97X-D) calculations, provided valuable information about metal-ligand interactions, the or conformation of the aldehyde group in the ligands, and the presence of isomers in the metal complexes obtained in the solid state. tests were used to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of the novel complexes against several cancer cell lines, including ovarian cancer (A2780), cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer (A2780cis), colon cancer (HT-29), and triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), as well as normal mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3).

It is critical to recognize pulmonary embolism as soon as possible in patients who have gastrointestinal problems pre- and post-surgery. Even in the absence of conventional risk factors, the Factor V Leiden mutation emphasizes the importance of a thorough thrombophilia assessment. To effectively manage and prevent thrombotic episodes, prompt anticoagulant medication and genetic screening for family members are essential.

The escalating global threat of climate change is becoming more evident. The climate crisis intersects with another major challenge: lung cancer. With Asia already bearing half the global cancer burden, the impact of climate-related events on health and on lung cancer care specifically are profound.
