Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the biological properties of ginger rhizome grown in Sudan, focusing on its antibacterial, antioxidant, and phytochemical properties to assess its potential for medicinal use
- - Results show that the Sudanese ginger extract exhibits moderate antibacterial activity against various bacteria, with specific inhibition and bactericidal concentrations identified, alongside a diverse range of chemical constituents found through phytochemical screening
- - The research suggests a promising future for ginger rhizome in pharmaceutical development, with detailed molecular interactions supporting its antimicrobial potential, as revealed by GC-MS analysis and computational studies

Objective: To identify the social factors determining the vulnerability of Ohio counties to IMR and visualize the spatial association between relative social vulnerability and IMR at county and census tract levels.
Methods: The social vulnerability index (SVI) is a measure of the relative social vulnerability of a geographic unit.
Purpose: Diet and nutrition are important for cancer prevention. To investigate associations between dietary behavior, demographics, and risk of cancer, we assessed dietary behavior and urinary concentration of gallic acid, a polyphenol with anticancer properties found in various fruits and vegetables, in racial and ethnic minorities.
Methods: Ninety-one (91) participants were recruited from senior centers in East Harlem, New York City, a racially diverse and underserved community.
Article Synopsis
- * The patient, a 19-year-old man, initially presented with shortness of breath and pain but was sent home after normal test results, only to return two days later with additional symptoms like difficulty swallowing and chest tightness.
- * He had a recent finger cut and a complete immunization history, prompting treatment with tetanus vaccine and penicillin, with his tetanus antitoxoid levels confirmed as protective.
Dietary Behavior and Urinary Gallic Acid Concentrations in Older Minority Residents of East Harlem, New York City.

In this multidisciplinary study, we explored relationships between demographic factors, dietary habits, and gallic acid, a polyphenolic biomarker that correlates with self-reported dietary behaviors and negatively correlates with the incidence of cancer. Thirty-three (33) participants were recruited from a senior center in East Harlem, New York City, a racially diverse and underserved community. A National Institute of Health (NIH)-validated survey questionnaire was used to gather dietary behavior data, alongside demographic and cancer history information.
