From the ethanol extract of the seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum wall, one new lignan compound 1, was isolated and characterized along with three known compounds 2, 3 and 4. The structure elucidation of the isolated new compound was performed on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence. The structures of known compounds were determined by comparison of spectral data and physical data with those previously reported. The activity inhibiting hepatitis b virus was evaluated. Preliminary studies showed that compound 1 and 2 displayed promising inhibitory potential against hepatitis b virus.

Viral infection plays a significant role in the development and progression of many cancers. Certain viruses, such as Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV), are well-known for their oncogenic potential. These viruses can dysregulate specific molecular and cellular processes through complex interactions with host cellular mechanisms.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal entity characterized by an unregulated activation of the immune system. In the adult population, it is most commonly secondary to infectious, autoimmune, or neoplastic diseases. We present a case of a 23-year-old female diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis and hospitalized due to a persistent three-week fever and malaise with a new onset of jaundice and findings compatible with acute hepatitis and hepatosplenomegaly.

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a global health issue, particularly among healthcare personnel, including students because of its occupational exposure pattern. Healthcare Workers and medical students are recommended to have better knowledge, attitudes and good practices and vaccination toward infection control in general and HBV in particular. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical students from North Sudan regarding HBV and its vaccination coverage.
