Article Synopsis
- The study examines trends in the incidence and mortality rates of primary gallbladder cancer (GBC) over the past 40 years, using data from the SEER database.
- Results indicate that while GBC incidence has decreased by 1.65% per year since 1973, this decline has leveled off since 2002.
- The incidence-based mortality also showed a decrease of 1.69% per year from 1980 to 2015, but the rate of reduction was slower in the later years, prompting a call for further research on treatment effects.
Article Synopsis
- Asymptomatic leishmaniasis significantly contributes to the ongoing transmission of Leishmania within endemic communities, complicating efforts to eliminate the disease.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 111 articles found an overall prevalence of 11.2% for asymptomatic leishmaniasis in the general population, with higher rates (36.7%) in those living with symptomatic patients.
- The study revealed that 64.9% of individuals with leishmaniasis were asymptomatic, and males were more likely to develop symptoms, with a notable prevalence remaining stable over the past 40 years.
Phytochemical investigation of a methanolic extract of collected from Vietnam resulted in the isolation of a new megastigmane glucoside, named sedumoside K (), together with 17 previously reported compounds (). Structural elucidation of the new compound was achieved by HRFABMS, NMR spectroscopic analysis, acid hydrolysis and quantum ECD calculations. The absolute configuration of compounds has been revised.
