Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. The risk factors for cervical cancer include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, age, smoking, number of pregnancies, use of oral contraceptives, and diet. However, long-term HPV infection appears to be the main risk factor for developing cervical cancer.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer diagnosed in females worldwide. The known biomarkers are insufficient to understand the actual prognosis of breast cancer, and identifying new biomarkers is desirable and valuable data to improve the patient's survival. Many inflammatory biomarkers, such as the complement system, can be regarded as prognostic values and as potent inflammatory mediators; complement proteins have a critical role in tumorigenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Esophageal chemical burns, resulting from accidental or intentional ingestion of harmful chemicals, can lead to severe complications, including esophageal cancer, which includes squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinomas.
  • An in-silico analysis using genetic databases found a total of 26 critical genes associated with both chemical burns and the development of esophageal cancer.
  • The study concludes that chemical burns act as a significant external factor that may worsen prognosis and increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • This study uses bioinformatics to identify genes that are commonly upregulated in both chemical burns and gastric cancer.
  • The researchers analyzed gene sets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and used various tools to find shared genes and visualize their interactions.
  • Two key genes, ALOX5AP and SERPINB2, were identified as linked to both conditions, and five potential drugs were suggested for treating gastric cancer after chemical burns.

Introduction: Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is an etiology of infertility in men. NOA may have various classifications; however, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism can be regarded as a class of NOA associated with genetic factors. Former studies have shown that noncoding RNA (ncRNA) plays an essential role in NOA incidence, but few studies have been performed on the NOA-related ncRNA interaction network.

Depression is a series of symptoms that influence mood, thinking, and behavior and create unpleasant emotions like hopelessness and apathy. Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) affects 30 % of depression patients despite the availability of several non-invasive therapies. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a novel therapy for TRD.

Pressure injury (PI), or local damage to soft tissues and skin caused by prolonged pressure, remains controversial in the medical world. Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) were frequently reported to suffer PIs, with a heavy burden on their life and expenditures. Machine learning (ML) is a Section of artificial intelligence (AI) that has emerged in nursing practice and is increasingly used for diagnosis, complications, prognosis, and recurrence prediction.

Background And Aim: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disease, is mainly characterized by dementia, memory loss, and cognitive disorder. Rising research was performed to develop pharmacological or non-pharmacological approaches to treat or improve AD complications. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stromal cells that can self-renew and exhibit multilineage differentiation.
