Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a localized inflammatory, hypersensitivity reaction affecting the nasal cavity and its sinuses secondary to fungal colonization. The burden of surgical revisions and recurrence rates in this disease led to a recent hypothesized advancement in the medical management being experimented, which is the use of biologics. Therefore, this systematic review analyzed nine articles to highlight the significance of biologics in the management of AFRS through a comprehensive strategy, as seen in Supplementary Methods Section (1-9).

- Chronic gastritis is marked by inflammation of the stomach lining and the study aimed to explore its clinical and pathological factors, focusing on the role of CD117 as a marker for mast cell density (MCD).
- The research was conducted in Iraqi Kurdistan involving 380 patients, analyzing various indicators of gastritis severity and using an antibody to assess CD117 levels.
- The findings showed a significant correlation between Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis and factors like age and MCD, with higher MCD in patients with severe gastritis, while those who underwent treatment exhibited a decrease in MCD, underscoring the need for early diagnosis in areas with high H. pylori rates.
Introduction: Cytokeratins (CKs) have been associated with precancerous and cancerous gastric lesions in patients with Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis, making them useful for diagnosing epithelial tumors.
Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted utilizing 200 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded gastric biopsy samples collected from the lesser curvature of the stomach. Samples from the control group, patients with H.

Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) has been used in many products usually handled by humans including inks, paints, polishes, brake fluids and so on. This present study therefore, investigated its effect on lung, in a time-course study in male Wistar rats. Animals were orally administered 50 mg/kg body weight of EGME for a period of 7, 14, and 21 days.
