Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the surveillance of Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) to detect early dysfunction and prolong access-patency, comparing clinical examination (CE), doppler, and fistulogram as detection methods.
- Conducted between December 2019 and April 2021, it involved patients with matured AVF and assessed secondary failure rates using these three methods, with the fistulogram considered the gold standard.
- Results showed that out of 88 analyzed patients at six months, 86.4% had patent AVFs, 9.1% experienced secondary failure, and the combination of CE and doppler had the highest sensitivity for detecting issues in AVF.
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major reasons for cancer-associated death and exhibits the second-highest mortality rate worldwide. Several advanced approaches have been designed to treat GC; however, these strategies possess many innate complications. In view of this, the upcoming research relying on natural products could result in designing potential anticancer agents with fewer side effects.

- A new optimized method was developed for effectively multiplying shoots of a branched succulent herb from the Polygonaceae family using in vitro techniques.
- The method involved pre-treating seeds with 4% urea for a 95% germination rate and using specific growth hormones (2 mg/L kinetin and 2 mg/L BA) to enhance shoot induction and elongation.
- The resulting plants showed significantly higher ascorbic acid content compared to their counterparts grown outside of lab conditions, indicating potential for further research into scaling up in vitro production and studying related biosynthetic pathways.
This study aimed to assess the nutrient composition, minerals, and stability of betalains pigment from fruit extracts of . The proximate composition included total carbohydrates (1.64 g), protein (51 mg), total lipid (1.

Being a perishable, storage is challenging, hence different methods of drying have been an attractive alternative for its postharvest usage in foods without much compromising its quality and antioxidant potential.
