The annual Hajj presents diversified negative experiences to millions of pilgrims worldwide. The negative experiences and recommendations to overcome them as per pilgrims' feedback are yet to be analyzed from an aggregated perspective in the literature, which we do in this paper. To do so, first, we perform a large-scale survey (n=988) using our comprehensive questionnaire.

The present study aimed to systematically analyze the expression, function, and prognostic value of ER, PR, HER2, and their prevalence in different ethnic groups and among Bangladeshi breast cancer (BC) patients.
Method: This study included 25 BC patients and 25 healthy controls, aged between 25 and 70 years.
In recent years, breast cancer incidences and related deaths have been rising among Bangladeshi women and will be a major threat by 2040. So, conducting more population-based studies is crucial. This case-control study was designed to quantitatively evaluate potential risk factors for breast cancer.

Purpose: Overexpression of the gene is significantly associated with different types of cancers, including breast cancer. In this study, the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs11549465, rs11549467, and rs2057482 of the gene and their association with breast cancer were systematically investigated through meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: After a systematic review, nine case-control studies of the rs11549465 C/T polymorphism, six case-control studies of the rs11549467 G/A polymorphism, and one case-control study of the rs2057482 C/T polymorphism were included in this meta-analysis.
Bioremediation through biodegradation is applied for cleaning up several environmental pollutions including petroleum oil spill containing petrol, diesel, mobil, kerosene, lubricating, etc. which have devastated several endangered terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the current research was aimed to isolate and identify diesel degrading bacteria from the petroleum waste dumping site and determined their degrading efficiency.

Generally, it occurs through an orderly and autonomously process which is controlled by proper function of various genes. Therefore, the current experiments detect the expression level/pattern of those genes to confirm the involvement of extrinsic and intrinsic pathway using Basella alba leaf (BAL).

Considering the folkloric context, this study was aimed to scrutinize anti-proliferative activity of fruit pulp juice (CMFPJ) against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC). The anti-proliferative capacity of CMFPJ was investigated and confirmed primarily using MTT assay.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. The current treatment options of cancer are radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and surgery, where all of them have unpleasant side effects. Due to their adverse side effects, it is challenging to develop new drug for cancer treatment.
