Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of mortality and the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among females. It may arise from atypical borderline tumors (Type I) or serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (Type II). The diagnosis of cancer at its early stages is difficult because of non-specific symptoms, most patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage.

Department of Radiology, James Paget University Hospital, Great Yarmouth, UK.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the understanding of radiology staff about contrast media and how to handle related adverse reactions, using a questionnaire distributed in five hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan from February to March 2019.
- - Results revealed that less than half of the respondents could adequately classify iodinated contrast media, with many showing poor knowledge about severe allergic reactions, treatment protocols, and correct medications like epinephrine for anaphylaxis.
- - The overall conclusion indicated that radiology personnel's awareness of contrast materials and management of allergic reactions is inadequate, highlighting a need for improved education and training in this area.

Article Synopsis
- Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne disease that can lower platelets and white blood cell counts, with a focus on its essential replication proteins like NS3 and HSP70.
- To combat dengue, researchers are exploring the use of antivirals that can inhibit these proteins through methods like molecular docking and simulations to predict effective inhibitors.
- Ladanein, a flavonoid, emerged as a promising compound with the ability to inhibit dengue virus replication and HSP70, showcasing the potential of phytochemicals in anti-dengue strategies.
