Article Abstract
Dietary supplementation with pterostilbene (PS) and/or a probiotic (PRO) may ameliorate the intestinal microbiota in disease conditions. This study aims to evaluate PS and PRO for the chemoprevention of putative precursor lesions for colorectal cancer (CRC) in an experimental model of intestinal carcinogenesis with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (1,2-DMH). Sixty male Wistar rats were equally divided into five groups: Sham, 1,2-DMH, 1,2-DMH + PS, 1,2-DMH + PRO, and 1,2-DMH + PS + PRO. PRO (5 × 10/mL) was offered in water, and PS (300 ppm) was provided in the diet ad libitum. 1,2-DMH (20 mg/kg/week) was administered for 15 consecutive weeks. In the 25th week, proctocolectomy was conducted. PRO alone and PRO combined with PS were the best intervention strategies to improve experimental 1,2-DMH-induced CRC regarding several parameters of carcinogenesis. Our findings may contribute to the development of novel preventive strategies for CRC and may help to identify novel modulators of colon carcinogenesis.

. Despite the significant advancements in clinical and laboratory research, breast cancer remains a formidable challenge due to its high incidence, recurrence and mortality rate. The emerging paradigm emphasizes the pivotal role of cancer stem cells in compelling cancer initiation and recurrence attributed to the resistance against conventional radio and chemotherapy, thereby leading to poor prognosis and disease relapse post-treatment.

Rosmarinic acid is a polyphenol found in numerous fruits and vegetables, consumed in supplement form, and tested in numerous clinical trials for therapeutic applications due to its putative chemopreventive properties. Rosmarinic acid has been extensively studied at the cellular, whole animal, and molecular mechanism levels, presenting a complex array of multi-system biological effects. Rosmarinic acid-induced hormetic dose responses are widespread, occurring in numerous biological models and cell types for a broad range of endpoints.

Article Synopsis
- - Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an increasingly common condition that significantly impacts health by raising risks for liver complications, cardiometabolic issues, and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, which are a major contributor to cancer deaths globally.
- - The review explores evidence linking MASLD to non-liver GI cancers, examining factors that may explain this increased risk and highlighting the need for tailored screening for individuals with MASLD.
- - Potential treatments like aspirin, statins, and metformin may help reduce the risk of GI cancers associated with MASLD, but more research is needed to solidify these findings.

Haiti is endemic for lymphatic filariasis (LF) and malaria, two mosquito-transmitted parasitic diseases targeted for elimination. The World Health Organization recommends a transmission assessment survey (TAS-1) to determine if LF prevalence is significantly beneath putative transmission thresholds (<2% antigen prevalence in Haiti, where Culex is the primary vector for Wuchereria bancrofti) to stop mass drug administration (MDA). Repeated TASs (TAS-2 and TAS-3) are recommended at 2-3-year intervals during post-treatment surveillance.
