Mechanistic Insights into the Role of MCP-1 in Diverse Liver Pathological Conditions: A Recent Update.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is regarded as a crucial proinflammatory cytokine that controls the migration and entry of macrophages. It has been demonstrated that chemokine ligand 2 and its receptor, Chemokine receptor 2, are both implicated in several liver disorders. In a similar context, immunity mediators are overexpressed and stimulated by MCP-1.

Serum Levels of Heavy Metals in Patients with Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Prostate cancer (PC) is a common malignancy among men globally. Although genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors contribute to its development, the role of heavy metals remains unclear. This study evaluated serum levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and nickel in PC patients compared to healthy controls.

Prevalence of antihypertensive medication adherence and associated factors in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Non-adherence to antihypertensive medication is a key factor contributing to uncontrolled blood pressure and the subsequent complications of hypertension. Despite its importance, there is a lack of data regarding the prevalence of and factors associated with non-adherence to medication among individuals with hypertension in India. This review aimed to assess medication adherence rates among hypertensive patients in India and identify the factors influencing non-adherence.

Iron-Doped Cadmium Sulfide/Graphene Oxide (CdFeS/GO) Nanocomposites for Photocatalytic Degradation of Toxic Pollutants.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis has been widely explored as a promising solution for dye degradation due to its cost-effectiveness, ease of recovery, and use of green technology. Precisely, iron-doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) exhibits greater efficiency because of its higher charge separation, more electron transfer efficiency, and adsorption under visible region. In this study, two different ratios of iron-doped cadmium sulfide (CdFeS/GO) nanocomposites such as CdFeS/GO and CdFeS/GO were synthesized using the coprecipitation method and characterized with UV-Vis DRS, XRD, FT-IR, Raman, XPS, and HR-TEM.

Development and Psychometric Validation of Population-Based Knowledge Attitudes and Practices-Questionnaire on Fluoride (PBKAP-QF).

Fluoride exposure is a global public health concern. Understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of affected populations is essential for effective community management. This study aimed to develop and validate a KAP questionnaire to assess fluoride and its risk in general population.
