PDGF-β and IL-18 Expressions on Carcinoma Cervical by .

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Cervical cancer, along with lung and breast cancer, is one of Indonesia's most aggressive gynaecological diseases. <i>Rhodomyrtus tomentosa</i> has antioxidant and antiproliferative properties that could be developed into herbal medicines for molecular therapy. The IL-18 and PDGF-β are tumour-promoting agent proteins that may be therapeutic targets for a variety of cancers that were investigated in this study.

A cross-sectional survey exploring the attitude, knowledge, and use of anesthesia teams toward evidence-based practice in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of healthcare services by ensuring the delivery of the highest and safest level of patient care since EBP helps in justifying treatment choices to patients. Studies that examine the levels of EBP knowledge, attitudes toward EBP, and use of the use of EBP within anesthetic teams' practice are lacking, hence it is necessary to explore this.

Aim: To evaluate anesthesia teams' levels of knowledge, attitude toward and use of the evidence-based practice in a local hospital in Saudi Arabia.

Recent advances in nanotechnology for remediation of heavy metals.

Heavy metal contamination of the environment has become an alarming environmental issue that has constituted serious threats to humans and the ecosystem. These metals have been identified as a priority class of pollutants due to their persistency in the environment and their potential to bioaccumulate in biological systems. Consequently, the remediation of heavy metals from various environmental matrices becomes a critical topic from the biological and environmental perspectives.

Living and Responding to Climatic Stresses: Perspectives from Smallholder Farmers in Hanang' District, Tanzania.

This study sought to assess how smallholder farmers have been living and responding to impacts of climate change in Hanang' District, Tanzania. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using key informant interviews, household surveys, focus group discussions (FGDs) and field observations. Quantitative data from the questionnaire survey were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), whilst, qualitative data were exposed to content analysis.

The removal of nickel and lead ions from aqueous solutions using green synthesized silica microparticles.

Silica microparticles were synthesized from sugarcane bagasse via a green synthetic technique. The prepared silica microparticles were used to remove lead and nickel ions from their separate solutions. Microscopic analysis shows that the synthesized silica particles are spherical with good monodispersed properties.

Minocycline microspheres did not significantly improve outcomes after collagenase injection of tendon.

Background: Tetracycline antibiotics inhibit matrix metalloproteinases and pro-inflammatory cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of tendinopathy, while microsphere formulations allow sustained release of drug contents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a local minocycline microsphere injection to restore normal tendon properties in a rat model of collagenase-induced patellar tendinopathy.

Methods: A total of 22 rats were randomly assigned to the control (n = 11) or minocycline (n = 11) group and received bilateral patellar tendon injections of collagenase.

[Hepatic alveolar hydatidosis in Morocco].

This report describes a case of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. To our knowledge it is the first documented report of human alveolar echinococcosis in Morocco. Alveolar echinococcosis of the liver is a relatively rare, severe chronic parasitic disease.

[Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor. A case report].

Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm that predominantly occurs in young adult men; it has an uncertain histogenesis, and predominant or exclusive intra-abdominal localisation without visceral origin involvement. This tumor is characterized by its distinct morphology and its multiphenotypic differentiation. We report a case of an intra-abdominal desmoplastic round cell tumor in a 24 years old woman.
