Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found that the Cat Ba langur has low genetic diversity, high inbreeding rates, and harmful mutations, indicating a significant genetic burden; however, some adaptive potential has been preserved.
- * Unique genetic variants related to calcium and sodium metabolism were identified, suggesting these adaptations might help the langurs thrive in their specific environment of high calcium and saltwater.
Monkeypox is an infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus closely related to smallpox. The structure of the A42R profilin-like protein is the first and only available structure among MPXV proteins. Biochemical studies of A42R were conducted in the 1990s and later work also analyzed the protein's function in viral replication in cells.

- The study focused on investigating the pharmacological properties of fruits from Vietnam, analyzing their total phenolic and flavonoid contents using various solvent fractions.* -
- A GC-MS analysis identified 20 bioactive compounds in the fruit extracts, including fatty acids, phenols, and terpenes, indicating their potential health benefits.* -
- The methanol extract showed significant antibacterial activity against specific bacterial strains, suggesting these fruits could be valuable for developing safe and cost-effective treatments.*
Background: The coexistence of a granulosa cell tumor with a teratoma is extremely rare and impossible to diagnose preoperatively. For most patients with advanced age and stage, the standard treatment is hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy; however, fertility-preserving surgery should be considered for young nulligravid women.
Case: We present a case of a 24-year-old nulligravid female with bilateral adnexal masses, imaging findings of ovarian teratomas, and normal levels of tumor markers.
Severe tetanus is characterized by muscle spasm and cardiovascular system disturbance. The pathophysiology of muscle spasm is relatively well understood and involves inhibition of central inhibitory synapses by tetanus toxin. That of cardiovascular disturbance is less clear, but is believed to relate to disinhibition of the autonomic nervous system.
