Herein we provide a dietary analysis using stomach contents of (G. Grandidier, 1899), a poorly known species of shrew tenrec, in the dense lowland moist evergreen forest of the Marojejy National Park and human modified habitats in the peripheral zones. We specifically examine the arthropods consumed by this species and variation related to season, habitat type, sex and age of individuals. Analysis of stomach contents shows that the principal prey types of this species in order of importance are Coleoptera and followed by Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, and Araneae. No differences in prey consumed were found between age and sex classes, nor season, but the percentage of the different arthropod groups varies with the type of habitat.

Background And Aims: Small gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) in the stomach can be managed through surveillance or resection. However, it is still controversial how often the lesion would progress if left untreated. This study aimed to evaluate the progression rate of small SETs and identify risk factors influencing tumor growth.

Clinically significant problems such as kidney stones and stomach ulcers are linked to the activation of the urease enzyme. At low pH, this enzyme gives an ideal environment to Helicobacter pylori in the stomach which is the cause of gastric ulcers and peptic ulcers. In recent work, we have developed a library of 4-fluorocinnamaldehyde base thiosemicarbazones and assessed them for their potential against urease enzyme.
