Article Synopsis
  • Ovarian cancer is common worldwide and can be categorized into low-grade or high-grade types, with AKNA protein being linked to cancer inflammation and potential as a biomarker.
  • The study aimed to explore how AKNA expression varies in low-grade versus high-grade ovarian tumors and assess its usefulness as a predictive biomarker.
  • Results indicated that cysts had the highest AKNA expression, while high-grade ovarian cancers showed the lowest, suggesting that AKNA levels could help predict the tumor grade of ovarian cancer.

Background: Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) mainly occurs in hemodialysis (HD) patients and could persist in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This study aims to compare the severity, correlation of various biochemical factors, and quality of life (QoL) concerning pruritus in CKD.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on HD and KT recipients with chronic pruritus, where the 5-Dimensional (5-D) Itch Scale and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were used to evaluate pruritus severity and QoL.

Background: Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) in individuals with invasive breast cancer (IBC) must be monitored, and biomarkers are needed. NC can activate an anti-tumour immune response in its microenvironment, known as Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL). TIL components believed to have great potential as predictors are CD4+, CD8+, and FOXP3+ TIL.

Background & Objective: Patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) for invasive breast cancer (IBC) therapy need biomarkers to track their progress. Because of the relationship between NFkB, Survivin, and Cyclin D1 with NC resistance, the different expression levels of each of these biomarkers can be different between pre- and post-NC in IBC. However, no research has examined the correlation between these biomarkers before and after the NC expression.

Chronic wounds are a considerable health burden with high morbidity and poor rates of healing. Colonisation of chronic wounds by bacteria can be a significant factor in their poor healing rate. These bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance over time and can lead to wound infections, systemic illness, and occasionally amputation.
