Dietary Modification and Adequacy Among Jaundice Patients
Abstract: Jaundice refers to the yellow discolouration of the skin and heavily perfused tissues. Since jaundice is a mere symptom and not a disease, its dietary management is based upon underlying cause. The present study is an attempt to assess the dietary intake of jaundice patients and evaluate it in terms of nutritional adequacy. A sample of 100 patients from both the sexes and in any age group was selected randomly …

Serum Hepcidin Status of Sickle Cell Disease Subjects with Multiple Blood Transfusion in Nigeria
Abstract: Objectives: No effective physiological mechanism for excess iron excretion is known in humans. Conditions such as sickle cell disease (SCD), where red blood cell transfusion is a frequently employed therapy can subsequently result in ready accumulation and circulation of exogenous iron as non-transferrin bound iron in tissues with possible impairment of iron homeostasis in them. Aim: The influence of multiple blood transfusions on the patterns of iron homeostasis in correlation …

Hemophilia and Gene Therapy–Review
Abstract: The coagulation factor VIII or factor IX genes are affected by the monogenic mutational illness known as hemophilia. Recombinant clotting factors, which are secure and efficient, are the preferred palliative therapy. In order to ensure steady and long-lasting concentrations of the damaged circulating factor, advanced therapies will be curative. Adeno-associated vectors have primarily been used, and the results have been positive in terms of amounts and timings of expression. These …

Up-Regulation of TNF-α by Ethanol Extract of Moringa Oleifera in Benzene-Induced Leukemic Wister Rat: A Possible Mechanism of Anticancer Property
Abstract: Ethanol extract of Monringa oleifera (EMO) has been shown to possess anti-cancer properties in animal models. The mechanisms of action of its anticancer properties have not been fully demonstrated. We induced leukemia in two groups of seven rats each by intravenous injection of benzene chromasolv solution (0.2 mL) 48 hourly for 4 weeks. EMO (0.2 ml of 100 mg/mL) was administered orally by gavage, after leukemia induction, daily for 4 …

Immunology and Immunotherapy of Pulmonary adenocarcinoma: A Systematic Review
Abstract: Lung cancer is the world's second leading cause of death, with an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Approximately 80% of all lung cancer is caused by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Due to lack of early detection and treatment, the incidence rate of lung cancer prognosis remains low. CD4+T-lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells are among the immune cells involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. The …

Insilico Approach to Inhibit Over Expression of CaSm Gene to Arrest Over Expressed Human LSm1 Protein in Pancreatic Carcinoma Cell
Abstract: Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are particles that are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. They consist of one RNA (snRNA) associated with one or more proteins. snRNPs are involved in a wide variety of functions including pre-mRNA splicing (e.g., U1, U2, U4–6, U11, U12, U4ATAC, U6ATAC snRNPs and transspliced leader RNPs), histone mRNA 39 end processing (U7 snRNP). The snRNA U6 (unlike U1, U2, U4 and U5) does not …
