Article Synopsis
  • Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a serious type of leukaemia that requires effective diagnostic methods, including the use of electrochemical biosensors with aptamers for early detection.
  • In the study, researchers used a KK1D04 aptamer on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) enhanced by CeO nanoparticles to identify K562 CML cells, optimizing various parameters for better sensor performance.
  • The resulting aptasensor achieved a limit of detection of 16 cells/mL and showed specificity for K562 cells over other cell lines, suggesting it could be useful for point-of-care testing for CML.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on clinical-histopathological characteristics and survival factors among 196 patients over six years.
  • The results showed that the most common cancer type was urothelial carcinoma, primarily affecting older males, with a significant cancer-specific mortality rate of 13.3% and overall 5-year survival rate of 57.1%.
  • Key factors influencing cancer-specific mortality included age, tumor stage and grade, treatment compliance, and use of intravesical therapies, highlighting the need for improved management strategies for NMIBC in the region.*

Background: Extrahepatic, abdominal surgery in patients with cirrhosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This systematic review presents the current evidence available on the utility of a preoperative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), assessed by its effect on surgical candidacy and postoperative mortality and morbidity in patients with cirrhosis undergoing extrahepatic, abdominal surgery.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were searched till 2022 to identify studies.

Objective: This research was arranged to explore the effect of supplementation of a combination of and as a new probiotic in fermented rice straw-based rations on digestibility and ruminal characteristics.

Materials And Methods: A randomized group design with 3 types of treatment and 4 replications as a group was used in this study. A probiotic inoculum containing and with 1 × 10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/ml Treatments were followed by: P1 = complete rations without probiotics (control), P2 = P1 supplemented 0.
