Article Abstract
Background: Imported cases of multidrug resistant Plasmodium falciparum and treatment failure with artemisinin-based regimens, although rare, have been described also in Western countries and their management is often challenging. This is also due to an inadequate knowledge and implementation of health prevention measures.
Case Report: A complex case of imported malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax/P. falciparum isolates in a patient who was not taking chemoprophylaxis while he was travelling in Cambodia is reported in this article. After failures of artemisinin-based and both oral and intravenous quinine-based regimens, a multidrug resistant P. falciparum was detected. The patient was successfully treated with atovaquone-proguanil.
Conclusions: This experience highlights the importance of a careful management that should be based not only on the most up-to-date guidelines, but also on the awareness of a rapidly evolving scenario.

Cancer is a deadly disease with complex pathophysiological nature and is the leading cause of death worldwide. Traditional diagnosis methods often detect cancer at a considerably critical stage and the conventional methods of treatment like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have several limitations, multidrug resistance, cytotoxicity, and lack of specificity are a few examples. These pose substantial challenge for effective and favourable cancer treatment.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and their combination with other therapies such as chemotherapy, fail in most cancer patients. We previously identified the PDZ-LIM domain-containing protein 2 (PDLIM2) as a bona fide tumor suppressor that is repressed in lung cancer to drive cancer and its chemo and immunotherapy resistance, suggesting a new target for lung cancer therapy improvement. In this study, human clinical samples and data were used to investigate genetic and epigenetic changes in lung cancer.

Avian pathogenic (APEC) is one of the major causes of poultry morbidity worldwide, severely reducing egg production and embryo hatchability in laying hens. Hainan Wenchang chicken is an important poultry breed in Hainan, China, and its culture has been affected by APEC for a long time. In this study, in order to investigate the causes of low hatchability and a large number of weak chicks during the breeding of Wenchang chicken, a total of 130 strains of APEC were isolated from 591 chicken embryo samples collected from five large-scale farms of Wenchang chicken in Hainan area.

Introduction: The plasma membrane-bound protein, multi-drug resistance-associated protein 4 (), has gained attention for its pivotal role in facilitating the efflux of a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic molecules. Its significance in adipogenesis and fatty acid metabolism has been brought to light by recent studies. Notably, research on knockout ( ) mice has established a link between the absence of and the development of obesity and diabetes.
