Article Abstract
Background And Objective: Conflicting results exist regarding the associations between dietary acid load (DAL) and cancer risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between DAL and the odds of prostate cancer (PC) in the Iranian population.
Methods: One hundred and twenty participants (60 controls and 60 newly diagnosed PC patients) engaged in a hospital-based case-control study conducted from April to September 2015. A validated, 160-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess usual dietary intakes. DAL was calculated using potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP). Multivariate logistic regression was performed to estimate odds ratios (ORs).
Results: Both PRAL (OR = 5.44; 95% CI = 2.09-14.17) and NEAP (OR = 4.88; 95% CI = 2.22-13.41) were associated with increased odds of PC in the crude model. After adjusting for potential confounders (energy intake, smoking, physical activity, ethnicity, job, education, and medication use), being in the third category of PRAL (OR = 3.42; 95% CI = 1.11-8.65) and NEAP (OR = 3.88; 95% CI = 1.26-9.55) were significantly associated with increased odds of PC.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that dietary acid load may be linked to an increased risk of PC; however, further prospective studies with larger sample sizes and longer durations are necessary to validate these findings.

Hyaluronic acid derivatives have broad prospects in the in vivo targeted delivery of insoluble antitumor drugs. In this study, rhein-selenocystamine-hyaluronic acid (RSeHA) polymeric micelles (PMs) were designed and developed to load celastrol (Cela) to solve its poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and severe toxicity for breast cancer treatment. Cela-loaded RSeHA PMs (Cela/RSeHA PMs) with a particle size of 159.

Objectives: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a well-known healthcare-associated diarrheal disease. Fidaxomicin, a key antibiotic used to treat CDI, targets bacterial RNA polymerase. However, some clinical isolates have mutations in rpoB, which reduces their susceptibility to this antibiotic.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by , remains a global health emergency, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Despite effective pharmacotherapy, prolonged treatment, poor adherence, and drug resistance continue to hinder eradication. Isoniazid (ISZ), a first-line antitubercular drug, is effective but limited by high aqueous solubility and short half-life, necessitating daily administration and causing plasma fluctuations.

Aim: Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) is one of the classic potassium-binding agents that remains commonly used in the treatment of hyperkalaemia. However, the potential concern about its sodium load has not been fully investigated. In this study, we evaluated the association between SPS initiation and heart failure (HF), compared with calcium polystyrene sulfonate (CPS).
