Thyroid autoimmunity in relation to HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 polymorphism in nonsegmental vitiligo: a cross-sectional-study
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that HLA-DQ polymorphisms influence TAI risk in subjects with NSV, although HLA does not completely explain the co-occurrence of these two diseases.PMID:38463584 | PMC:PMC10918139 | DOI:10.62347/LDYE8203 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)

Stage at diagnosis of colorectal cancer in the Middle East and Northern Africa: A population-based cancer registry study
Int J Cancer. 2024 Mar 8. doi: 10.1002/ijc.34895. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd most common cancer and 3rd most common cause of death in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region. We aimed to explore CRC stage at diagnosis data from population-based cancer registries in MENA countries. In 2021, we launched a Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) survey on staging practices and breast and CRC stage distributions in MENA. According to the survey results, population-based data on TNM stage for CRC were available from six registries in five countries (Kuwait, Morocc...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1205: Assessment and Optimization of the Insecticidal Properties of & gamma;-Al2O3 Nanoparticles Derived from Mentha pulegium By-Products to Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Carob Beetle)
This study concentrates on assessing the insecticidal attributes of the γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles derived from the remnants of Mentha pulegium, which include essential oil, ethanolic extract, and plant waste. The synthesis of the γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles was executed using a direct sol-gel procedure, affirming the crystal structure according to extensive physicochemical analyses such as UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, and SEM. Evaluation of the insecticidal activity in vitro was conducted against Xylosandrus crassiusculus, a pest that infests carob wood, utilizing strains from diverse forests in the Khenifra region...
