This study aimed to analyze the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including IDH1 rs121913500C > T, IDH2 rs11540478G > A, and EGFR rs1468727C > T, and their association on the risk and overall survival of GBM patients in Jordan.
Methods: Using a case-control study design involving 63 GBM patients and 226 healthy controls was conducted at King Abdullah University Hospital in Jordan.
Background: Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignancy, occasionally found in the head and neck region. The diagnosis necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving the clinical presentation, proper imaging studies and histological confirmation, with molecular testing for definitive identification. Treatment entails surgical resection with adjuvant therapies as needed.

Objective: Herein, we determined the phytochemical profile, mineral, fatty acids, and amino acid contents of berries and assessed the dermacosmeceutical properties of their water extract and essential oil (EO).
Serpins are serine proteinase inhibitors, with several serpins being overexpressed in cancer cells. Thus, we aim to analyze the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of and its association with GBM survival. A cohort of 63 GBM patients recruited from King Abdullah University Hospital in Jordan underwent polymorphism analysis and overall survival (OS) assessments.

This condition can be further worsened by excessive melanin production, elastin degradation, and chronic infections at the wound site, potentially leading to melasma and diabetic dermopathy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phytochemical profile and inhibitory effects of essential oil (TAEO) on target enzymes involved in diabetes pathogenesis and chronic wound remodeling, namely -amylase, -glucosidase, tyrosinase, and elastase, as well as its antibacterial activity.

We performed a Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan on a 25-mo-old female patient who presented with opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome and had negative initial anatomic imaging. The scan showed a somatostatin receptor-overexpressing cervical tumor in favor of a cervical neuroendocrine tumor, with subsequent histopathologic findings of ganglioneuroblastoma.

Hodgkin Lymphoma is characterized by the neoplastic Reed-Sternberg cells, usually harbored in an inflammatory background, with a frequent clinical presentation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Many studies link between autoimmunity and lymphomagenesis, a large proportion of these studies evidently trace the pathogenesis back to the misdirected detection of self-derived nucleic acids by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), especially those of the intracellular type.
