Arachnoid granulations have been known for centuries yet remain incompletely understood. While traditionally associated with cerebrospinal fluid transport, the precise mechanism remains uncertain. This manuscript reviews the literature on the anatomy, histology, and imaging findings of arachnoid granulations and their mimickers and anomalous variations.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the common female cancers and it is characterized by considerable problems regarding its development and therapy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as significant modulators in BC development, especially, in tumorigenicity and chemoresistance. We therefore endeavor to present an up-to-date understanding of lncRNAs and their impact on BC progression and treatment, concerning molecular processes, treatment options, and use as a therapeutic opportunity.

In the last two decades, cage culture industries have developed in Iranian seas, supplying a portion of the needed protein and contributing to food security. In this paper, environmental impacts of cage culture are investigated, focusing on the physical, hydrodynamical, chemical, geological, and biological oceanographic aspects at the Abbas Abad fish farm in the southern Caspian Sea. Multidisciplinary field measurements were conducted from fall 2018 to late summer 2019 in different oceanographic aspects.

Aim: In this study, we examined the polymorphisms of (rs13252298, rs1456315), (rs4848320) (rs7158663), (rs7853346) genes in BC patients and compared it with healthy individuals in an Iranian population.

Method: The assessment of genetic polymorphisms was conducted using PCR - RFLP and PCR-Tetra ARMS methods.

Results & Conclusion: The results showed that Codominant, Dominant and G allele of rs13252298 polymorphism and Dominant of rs1456315 polymorphism are correlated with increased risk of BC.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study explores how fucoidan, a natural polysaccharide, works alone and with antibiotics against biofilms formed by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Acinetobacter baumannii, particularly in cases related to diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
  • - The results showed that using fucoidan with antibiotics like gentamicin and imipenem significantly enhances antimicrobial effectiveness, especially in mixed-species biofilms, with low toxicity to human skin cells.
  • - The findings suggest that fucoidan could be a promising treatment to disrupt harmful biofilms in DFU patients, indicating the need for more clinical research in this area.
