Article Synopsis
- - The development of a vaccine for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is essential despite the effectiveness of existing treatments, particularly focusing on inducing Pangenomic neutralizing Antibodies (PnAbs) against the diverse HCV Envelope 2 protein.
- - Current algorithms for creating Consensus Sequences (CS) face challenges such as rigidity and insensitivity to evolutionary changes, prompting researchers to modify the "Majority" algorithm with BLOSUM matrices and assess it against the "Fitness" algorithm.
- - The "Fitness" algorithm outperformed others by producing well-defined HCVE2 sequences for all HCV genotypes, considering evolutionary factors and offering improved properties for vaccine development, suggesting its applicability for other variable pathogens as well. *
Introduction: Rectal prolapse is prevalent in children and the elderly, impacting quality of life significantly. Traditional surgical interventions carry risks, especially in pediatric patients. Ethanol sclerotherapy offers a less invasive alternative, inducing fibrosis and thickening of the rectal wall.

- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, affecting 6-20% worldwide, leading to interest in alternative treatments like acupuncture and herbal remedies alongside conventional drugs.
- A study with 24 women aged 18-43 tested three treatments: auriculotherapy, Aslagh capsules, and metformin, measuring their impact on menstrual cycles and PCOS symptoms.
- Results showed all treatments reduced menstrual cycle duration, but only auriculotherapy had significant improvements in menstrual regularity and decreased excess hair growth compared to the other treatments.
Multiple reviews have examined the impact of nutritional interventions in patients with burn injuries; however, discrepancies among results cast doubt about their validity. We implemented this review to assess the impact of various nutritional interventions in adult patients with burn injuries. We conducted a thorough search of PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases until 1 August 2024, to identify relevant meta-analyses of intervention trials, examining the impact of nutritional interventions on burn patients.

The influence of pollutant type, concentration, ionic strength, and sorption time on uptake was systematically examined using a batch absorption system. Then, the experimental data of uptake was modeled using cascade forward (CFNN), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), radial basis function (RBF), and generalized regression (GRNN) neural networks.
