COVID 19 has exacerbated and underscored structural inequalities and endemic vulnerabilities in food, economic, and social systems, compounding concerns about environmental sustainability and racial and economic justice. Convergent crises have amplified a growing chorus of voices and movements calling for new thinking and new practices to adapt to these shifts, mitigate their impact, and address their root causes through far reaching changes in social and economic life and values, including breaking with the free market paradigm. In the face of a historic choice between transition or multiple systems collapse that deepen injustice and threaten planetary survival, I make the case for expanding on liberatory tendencies in Extension programs to build capacities for response-ability to transition toward more just and sustainable futures.

The development of targeted nanotherapeutics has emerged as a pivotal advancement in cancer treatment, aiming to enhance the efficacy and specificity of drug delivery while minimizing systemic toxicity. Due to their biocompatibility and modifiable surface properties, Chitosan-based nanoparticles have shown considerable promise in encapsulating and delivering therapeutic agents directly to tumor sites. This study investigates the potential of 1,5-diary pyrazole derivative (T4)-loaded chitosan (CS) nanoparticles as a novel anticancer agent, evaluating their physical characteristics, in vivo biodistribution, and therapeutic efficacy against cancerous cells.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent primary glomerulonephritis, resulting in end-stage renal disease and increased mortality rates. Prognostic biomarkers reflecting molecular mechanisms for effective IgAN management are urgently needed. Analysis of kidney single-cell transcriptomic sequencing data demonstrated that IgAN expressed high-expression levels of inflammatory cytokines TNFSF10, TNFSF12, CCL2, CXCL1, and CXCL12 than healthy controls (HCs).

While metastatic extension to the cardiophrenic lymph nodes (CPN) is relatively rare, cardiophrenic lymphadenectomy may be performed for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. The subxiphoid approach is appropriate, especially for CPN in the prepericardiac area, offering adequate exposure while avoiding the morbidity associated with pleural or pericardial breach. In this article, we describe the surgical technique-detailing the retrosternal liberation section of the tranversus abdominis muscle, followed by cardiophrenic dissection and lymphadenectomy.
