Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most aggressive and prevalent types of cancer which is associated with high rate of mortality and colossal potential of metastasis to other body organs. Conventionally, there are three commonly employed strategies for treatment of BC including, surgery, radiations and chemotherapy; however, these modalities are associated with several deleterious effects and high rate of relapse.
This review was aimed to critically discuss and conceptualize existing evidences related to pharmaceutical significance and therapeutic feasibility of multi-functionalization of nanomedicines for early diagnosis and efficient treatment of BC.
Though the implication of nanotechnology-based modalities has revolutionised the outcomes of diagnosis and treatment of BC; however, the clinical translation of these nanomedicines is facing grandeur challenges. These challenges include, recognition by reticuloendothelial system (RES), short plasma half-life, non-specific accumulation in the non-cancerous comes.
Hypertension of pregnancy [office blood pressure (BP) levels≥140/90 mmHg] is fairly common and can affect up to 10% of pregnant women worldwide. Hypertension of pregnancy is an important risk factor for the mother and carries increased morbidity and mortality for the fetus. Women with hypertension of pregnancy have a high-risk for future cardiovascular and renal events.
To summarize the literature related to several clinical aspects of hypertension in pregnancy and draw clinically meaningful conclusions.
We conducted an in-depth review of the literature to retrieve existing data on the definition, epidemiology, classification, and management of hypertension in pregnancy.
All pregnant women with hypertension should have a proper diagnostic workup and be treated appropriately. In women with mild hypertension, BP therapeutic target should be set to 110-140/80-85mmHg. In women with severe hypertension, BP should be reduced by at least 25% as soon as possible, and gradually thereafter to normal target levels of <140/105mmHg. In terms of preeclampsia, physicians need to consider potential complications and formulate prevention strategies. The choice of antihypertensive medication is crucial since certain classes can be detrimental to the fetus and should be avoided. Post-partum, the choice of antihypertensive therapy of the mother should take into consideration breastfeeding of the fetus. Given the life-long cardiovascular risk of women with pregnancy hypertension, a regular cardiovascular evaluation is in order.
Albeit the antihypertensive treatment exerts significant benefits for both the mother and the baby, several clinical aspects remain un-tackled. More research is needed to further improve the treatment of such disorders.

MBNL1, a protein encoded by q25 gene on chromosome 3, belongs to the tissue-specific RNA metabolic regulation family, which controls RNA splicing.[1]MBNL1 formed in the process of development drive large transcriptomic changes in cell differentiation,[2] it serves as a kind of tumor differentiation inhibitory factor.MBNL1 has a close relationship with cancer, comprehensive analysis, [3]found that breast cancer, leukemia, stomach cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, glial cell carcinoma and another common tumor in the cut, and cut in Huntington's disease. But MBNL1 plays a promoting role in cervical cancer, is contradictory in colorectal cancer, It promotes colorectal cancer cell proliferation, On the other hand, it inhibits its metastasis, so it is an important physiological marker in many cancers. When we integrated the role of MBNL1 protein in various tumors, we found that its antisense RNA, MBNL1-AS1, had a good inhibitory effect in several colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and gastric cancer.
To elucidate the expression of MBNL1 and MBNL1-AS1 in various tumors, and to search for their physiological markers.
It was searched by the PUMUB system and summarized its expression in various cancers.
MBNL1 was down-regulated, leukemia, breast cancer, glioblastoma, gastric cancer, overall survival rate, recurrence, metastasis increased. While the metastasis of colon cancer decreased, proliferation was promoted, and the effect of both was promoted for cervical cancer.MBNL1-AS1 was down-regulated, and the overall survival rate, recurrence, and metastasis of lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and bladder cancer increased.
MBNL1 may be an important regulator of cancer, and MBNL1-AS1 is a better tumor suppressor.

Since its inception in late December 2019, COVID-19 has led to a remarkable loss of human life all over the world. Vorinostat To overcome the unprecedented challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic to the public and economic health, strengthening of the healthcare system is utmost needed. In this regard, research communities are putting efforts in developing an advanced healthcare system, that could reduce the severe impacts of this pandemic. Nanotechnology is such an advanced technology which has contributed significantly in producing powerful arsenals for the frontline warriors, in this battle against COVID-19. It has offer opportunities for development of fast and accurate point-of-care testing, efficient therapeutics and vaccines, potent sanitizers, facemasks, personal protective equipment etc. against SARS-CoV-2. However, associated toxicity, long procedures of clinical trials, uncertain health risks etc. are some points which are still debatable. The present paper provides an overview of COVID-19 specific therapeutics and vaccines with an emphasis on nano-based strategies, which are significantly contributing towards the success of mitigation measures and strategies against COVID-19. Furthermore, the associated challenges, current limitations, and opportunities in this field are discussed.Feeding studies were conducted with rats and broiler chickens to assess the safety and nutrition of maize grain containing event DP-Ø23211-2 (DP23211), a newly developed trait-pyramid product for corn rootworm management. Diets containing 50% ground maize grain from DP23211, non-transgenic control, or non-transgenic reference hybrids (P0928, P0993, and P1105) were fed to CrlCD®(SD) rats for 90 days. Ross 708 broilers were fed phase diets containing up to 67% maize grain from each source for 42 days. Body weight, gain, and feed conversion were determined for comparisons between animals fed DP23211 and control diets in each study. Additional measures included clinical and neurobehavioral evaluations, ophthalmology, clinical pathology, organ weights, and gross and microscopic pathology for rats, and carcass parts and select organ yields for broilers. Reference groups were included to determine if any observed significant differences between DP23211 and control groups were likely due to natural variation. No diet-related effects on mortality or evaluation measures were observed between animal fed diets produced with DP23211 maize grain and animal fed diets produced with control maize grain. These studies show that maize grain containing event DP-Ø23211-2 is as safe and nutritious as non-transgenic maize grains when fed in nutritionally adequate diets. The results are consistent with previously published studies, providing further demonstration of the absence of hazards from edible-fraction consumption of genetically modified plants.
Apart from being a rare endocrine tumor, parathyroid carcinoma is also one of the rarest malignancies in human beings. Parathyroid carcinoma is even more uncommon in haemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease. The pathogenesis of parathyroid hyperplasia in haemodialysis patients is well known, but the mechanism of development of parathyroid carcinoma in these patients remains unclear.
Three cases of parathyroid carcinoma in haemodialysis patients are presented in this study a 69-year-old male patient and two female patients (67 and 61 years old). In all cases parathyroid carcinoma infiltrated the ipsilateral thyroid lobe and in one patient the right laryngeal nerve was involved as well. One patient underwent three surgical procedures.
After surgical treatment, all patients were normocalcaemic and showed a significant reduction in PTH levels.
In patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, who develop parathyroid carcinoma, surgical resection is the only viable treatment option.

An interaction between Black race and SM identity emerged for sadness/hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and suicide plan; White SMY were at greater risk than Black SMY. A main effect of Black race on suicide attempts was found; Black youth reported increased risk of suicide attempts compared to White youth.Conclusions Black SMY exhibited lower risk of sadness/hopelessness, suicide ideation, and suicide plans than their White SMY peers, whereas Black youth overall were more likely to report suicide attempts than their White peers.HIGHLIGHTSThere was an interaction of sexual minority identity and race (Black or White) for three outcomes.SM and Black identities were associated with higher risk for suicide attempts.Only SM identity was associated with increased risk of injurious suicide attempts.Social support has been identified as a significant factor in addressing treatment barriers and facilitating treatment adherence. Using a descriptive design, this qualitative study aims at sharing personal feelings and social support-related experiences among pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients in Western India. A semi-structured interview guide was designed, and thirty-seven in-depth interviews were conducted. Descriptive thematic analysis was employed for reporting the themes and the results. The participants highlighted diverse social support experiences like empathy, compassion, trust, neglect, tangible aid, strained relationships with in-laws, health provider's support, strength, and motivation which influences their treatment adherent behaviour. Contrasting differences of social support experiences among adherent and non-adherent TB patients were also reported. The study has important ramifications for developing patient-centric social support intervention strategies, TB policy, and practice. The study has shown, 'if not for this support', patients would have left the treatment, and it is mainly because this debilitating disease robs people of their physical, social, economic, psychological, and emotional well-being far beyond the period when treatment is being administered.
