  • The study investigates the role of serum proteins as biomarkers for early detection of HPV-related cervical cancer, focusing on proteins like CEA, SCCA, HMGB1, and CYFRA 21-1.
  • Analysis of blood samples from 36 cervical cancer patients revealed that CEA was the most frequently detected protein, highlighting variations based on different HPV types.
  • The findings suggest that CEA could serve as a reliable biomarker for cervical cancer, especially in cases linked to HPV-16, which showed the highest response rates among the tested proteins.

This research aims to isolate, characterize, and analyze pure compounds from leaf extract to investigate its antibacterial, antidiabetic, cytotoxic, and phytotoxic effects. Fresh leaves were collected, dried, and subjected to methanol extraction to obtain a crude extract. From the petroleum ether fraction (PEF) of this extract, three fractions-designated LM1, LM2, and LM3-were prepared using column chromatography.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the prevalence of two types of disability progression in patients with aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-IgG NMOSD): Progression Independent of Relapse Activity (PIRA) and Relapse-Associated Worsening (RAW).
  • It included 181 patients from the MSBase registry, mostly females with an average age of 38.1 years, monitored for an average of 4.5 years, where only 2.2% experienced PIRA and 7.2% experienced RAW.
  • The findings suggest PIRA is rare in AQP4-IgG NMOSD cases, but the study had limitations, such as using
