Characterization of the genomic landscape of canine diffuse large B-cell lymphoma reveals recurrent H3K27M mutations linked to progression-free survival by Anna Darlene van der Heiden, Raphaela Pensch, Sophie Agger, Heather L. Gardner, William Hendricks, Victoria Zismann, Shukmei Wong, Natalia Briones, Bryce Turner, Karin Forsberg-Nilsson, Cheryl London, Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, Maja Louise Arendt

“…While previous studies on canine DLBCL (cDLBCL) have significantly advanced our understanding of the disease, the majority of this research has relied on whole-exome sequencing, which is limited in its ability to detect copy number aberrations and other genomic changes beyond coding regions. Furthermore, many of these studies lack sufficient clinical follow-up data, making it difficult to draw meaningful associations between genetic variants and patient outcomes. …”

Genetic Polymorphisms in RNF138, ABCA1 and ESRRG-GPATCH2 Genes and their Role in Insulin Resistance Risk among Normal BMI Individuals in Indian Population: A Case-control Study by Sabitha Thummala, Sarah Fathima, Nithya Kruthi, Junaid Ahmed Khan Ghori, Katherine Saikia, Vivek Belde, Balamurali Andiyakkal Rajendran, Rahul Ranganathan

“…Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of genetic factors in the risk of developing IR among Indians with a normal BMI, suggesting a complex interplay of genetics beyond traditional risk factors. These findings necessitate further research into the functional significance of these associations and their potential implications for targeted interventions and preventive strategies in high-risk populations.…”

TC2N maintains stem cell-like characteristics to accelerate lung carcinogenesis by blockade of dual specificity protein phosphatase 3 by Jing Gu, Yang-fan Lv, Ji-ying Xia, Fu-hai Bai, Ji Gong, Guang-qiang Pan, Bo Liu, Lu Huang, Qiao-nan Guo, Xiang-lin Hao

“…In previous studies, we have uncovered the oncogenic role and mechanisms of TC2N in lung cancer: TC2N achieves this by inhibiting the p53 signaling pathway and activating the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. Beyond that, its precise function in tumorigenesis is not fully understood. …”

Utilization of partograph and associated factors among obstetric caregivers in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Mulat Ayele, Eyob Shitie Lake, Gizachew Yilak, Getinet Kumie, Biruk Beletew Abate, Alemu Birara Zemariam, Befkad Derese Tilahun

“…Although a previous systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) had been conducted, they were not representative on a national level as they included a limited number of studies and did not evaluate the current prevalence of partograph utilization beyond July 2019. Since then, there have been inconsistent studies assessing the proportion of partograph utilization and its associated factors. …”

Dambisya, Kufre Okop, Charles Ebikeme, Lisa Micklesfield, Tolu Oni

“…This approach requires multiple sectors to consider health and well-being as a central aspect of their policy development and implementation, recognising that numerous determinants of health lie outside (or beyond the confines of) the health sector. However, collaboration across sectors remains scarce and multisectoral interventions to support health are lacking in Africa. …”
