Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing global health issue, affecting approximately 9.1% of the world's population. Oxidative stress is believed to play a key role in CKD development, with indicators such as the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), Pro-Oxidant-Antioxidant Balance (PAB), and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) being of particular interest.

Purpose: The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in rectal cancer patients downstaged to ypT0-2 N0 after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), and surgery is still debated. This study investigates the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on survival outcomes in this patient population.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed hospital records of rectal cancer cases from Shefa Al Orman Cancer Hospital between January 2016 and December 2020, focusing on patients downstaged to ypT0-2 N0 after neoadjuvant CRT and surgery.

Background: Despite its high heritability, the genetic mechanisms influencing Alzheimer's Disease (AD), particularly in health disparity populations like African Americans (AA) and Hispanics (HI), are not fully understood. The lack of ancestral diversity in genetic datasets, notably in eQTL studies that associate genetic variation with gene expression, exacerbates these disparities. Our study seeks to address this gap by comparing the AD interactions of racially and ethnically diverse expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) effects to investigate the genetic influence on AD in underrepresented populations.

This review aims to describe the sex differences in heart failure (HF) patients, with a particular emphasis on the effect of cardiovascular ageing. Additionally, it takes into consideration the sex-related variation in cardiovascular health and physiology and the role ageing plays in HF and its implications in drug therapy. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the common HF medications, classified according to the established sub-types, are summarised with respect to sex-specific documented findings.
