Published: December 1993

Three spirurid nematode species have been collected from Egyptian rodents in Giza province. Streptopharagus kuntzi was collected from stomach and small intestine of Rattus ratus, R. norvegicus, Arvicanthis niloticus and Gerbillus gerbillus. Protospirura muris and P. marsupialis have also been collected from A. niloticus, R. rattus and R. norvegicus but P. marsupialis was collected only from the stomach while P. muris collected from stomach and small intestine. P. marsupialis was firstly recorded in Egypt during this work and no males of this species were collected. Females of S. kuntzi and P. muris showed marked dominance over males. Streptopharagus sudanensis and S. kuntzi are placed in synonomy.

Background: Gastric cancer remains a significant global health issue due to its aggressive nature and high heterogeneity, making early detection and prevention critical. Obesity and smoking are established risk factors that significantly contribute to the development of gastric cancer. Despite the clear links between these risk factors and the disease, there is a lack of targeted educational interventions that address these behaviors.

Background: In the past, numerous investigations have delved into the influence of p27 (p27kip) on the prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC), yielding conclusions that are not universally statistically significant, thus rendering the discourse rather contentious.

Methods: We collected available articles published before August 2024 and extracted data to analyze the association between the expression of p27 and the prognosis and clinicopathological features of CRC. In addition, we used Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), University of Alabama at Birmingham's Cancer Data Analysis Portal (UALCAN), and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) to validate our results.

Metagenomic sequencing is increasingly being employed to understand the assemblage and dynamics of the oyster microbiome. Specimen collection and processing steps can impact the resultant microbiome composition and introduce bias. To investigate this systematically, a total of 54 farmed oysters were collected from Chesapeake Bay between May and September 2019.

Background: Endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) is a challenge. It is not clear whether deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model could improve the endoscopists' diagnostic performance.

Methods: We established a DCNN-assisted system and found that accuracy of diagnosis is higher than endoscopists.

Background: Understanding resilience factors in children is essential for developing early mental health interventions. Middle childhood is an understudied developmental stage, with many quantitative measures lacking validation for this age group and not capturing diverse experiences. This study aimed to use body mapping, an arts-based method, as a novel approach to understand 7-10-year-old children's concepts of resilience (including definitions and factors that contribute to resilience) in East London.
