Background: Poor sleep quality is one of the prevalent manifestations experienced by cancer patients. There is a lack of research focusing specifically on sleep quality and affecting factors in Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients. This study aimed to assess the potential interaction between dietary, comorbid conditions, demographic, and socioeconomic determinants of sleep quality in GI cancer patients.

- The study focuses on understanding the recurrence rate of colorectal polyps in average-risk individuals, emphasizing the importance of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Middle East and the role of benign adenomas in its development.
- A total of 237 patients were enrolled, with 102 completing a 3-year follow-up, revealing that a significant percentage developed adenomatous polyps, particularly those with a more complex morphology having a higher chance of recurrence.
- The findings suggest the need for enhanced colonoscopy screening in areas previously deemed low-risk for CRC and recommend more frequent surveillance for patients showing dysplasia.
Background: Sleep quality is a notable factor of well-being. It also may play a role in the development and progression of chronic diseases and cancers. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate poor sleep quality and its influencing factors among Iranian patients with esophageal and gastric cancer.

Hydatid cyst is the metacestode stage of that occurs in herbivores and humans as intermediate hosts by consuming parasite eggs through forage and vegetables. Carnivores, as definitive hosts, become infected by consuming infected vesicles of herbivores. The most effective treatment for a hydatid cyst is surgical operation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Sarcocystis is a food-borne zoonotic protozoan whose final hosts are humans, dogs, cats, and other carnivores and intermediate hosts are birds and mammals, especially humans and herbivores. Humans become infected by eating raw and undercooked meat contaminated with bradyzoites or by consuming water or food contaminated with the sporocyst stage of the parasite.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gamma radiation and electron beam on the survival rate of Sarcocystis bradyzoites in infected beef and to determine the effective dose.
