Article Synopsis
- Occult hepatitis B (OBI) and C (OCI) infections are serious health issues in Africa, leading to liver complications like cirrhosis and cancer, and pose risks for transmission.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis examined OBI and OCI prevalence across Africa, utilizing data from multiple published studies.
- The findings indicated that OBI has a prevalence of about 14.8%, while OCI is around 10.7%, with higher rates observed in specific patient populations such as those with liver disorders and malignancies.
Identification of novel natural treatment to combat cancer is a current need. This study was aimed at assessing the anticancer effects of ethanol-extracted Cameroonian propolis (EEP). The antitumor effect of EPP was evaluated in vitro by measuring; cell viability, cell cycle, cell death mechanism, cell migration/invasion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm), caspase activity, and apoptosis-regulating proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) in cell lines.
