Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction presents a major clinical challenge due to its complex pathophysiology and limitations in its therapeutic options. This comprehensive review explores the comparative effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, focusing on their impact on diabetic versus non-diabetic patients, individuals with chronic kidney disease, and the elderly. A comprehensive literature search identified randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and clinical studies that evaluated the role of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in managing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Article Synopsis
  • Malaria is a big health problem that affects many people worldwide, causing many cases and deaths each year.
  • The study highlights important areas where more research is needed, such as understanding the behavior of mosquitoes (the insects that spread malaria) and finding new treatments since some medicines aren't working well anymore.
  • It also talks about the search for a better malaria vaccine, the effects of climate change on malaria spread, and the need for different strategies to tackle these challenges.

Cervical Cancer remains a women's health concern worldwide and ranks among the most prevalent cancers, particularly in developing countries. Many women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, with a substantial number succumbing to the disease even after the availability of vaccines and drugs. The tumour microenvironment often exhibits immune evasion, including suppression of T-cell activity and altered cytokine, impacting the efficacy of therapeutic interventions and highlighting the need for treatments to modulate the immune response.

Lung cancer, a relentless and challenging disease, demands unwavering attention in drug design research. Single-target drugs have yielded limited success, unable to effectively address this malignancy's profound heterogeneity and often developed resistance. Consequently, the clarion call for lung cancer drug design echoes louder than ever, and multitargeted drug design emerges as an imperative approach in this landscape, which is done by concurrently targeting multiple proteins and pathways and offering a beacon of hope.

At the molecular level, several developmental signaling pathways, such as Wnt/β-catenin, have been associated with the initiation and subsequent progression of prostate carcinomas. The present report elucidated the anti-cancerous attributes of an anthraquinone, aloe-emodin (AE), against androgen-independent human prostate cancer DU145 cells. The cytotoxicity profiling of AE showed that it exerted significant cytotoxic effects and increased lactose dehydrogenase levels in DU145 cells ( < 0.
