improve the nutritional status of children. Early initiation of exclusive breastfeeding, diarrhea prevention, and the use of improved latrine and handwashing practices at critical times could be important variables to improve the nutritional status of children.The use of fluorescence imaging technique for visualization, resection and treatment of cancerous tissue, attained plenty of interest once the promise of whole body and deep tissue near-infrared (NIR) imaging emerged. Why is NIR so desired? Contrast agents with optical properties in the NIR spectral range offer an upgrade for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, by dint of the deep tissue penetration of light in the NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, also known as the optical window in biological tissue. Thus, the development of a new generation of NIR emitting and absorbing contrast agents able to overcome the shortcomings of the basic free dye administration is absolutely essential. Several examples of nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully implemented as carriers for NIR dye molecules to the tumour site owing to their prolonged blood circulation time and enhanced accumulation within the tumour, as well as their increased fluorescence signal relative to free fluorophore emission and active targeting of cancerous cells. Due to their versatile structure, good biocompatibility and capability to efficiently load dyes and bioconjugate with diverse cancer-targeting ligands, the research area of developing protein-based NPs encapsulated or conjugated with NIR dyes is highly promising but still in its infancy. The current review aims to provide an up-to-date overview on the biocompatibility, specific targeting and versatility offered by protein-based NPs loaded with different classes of NIR dyes as next-generation fluorescent agents. Moreover, this study brings to light the newest and most relevant advances involving the state-of-the-art NIR fluorescent agents for the real-time interventional NIR fluorescence imaging of cancer in clinical trials.Patients receiving regular anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injections for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) routinely undergo dilated fundus examination (DFE) at each visit. In this paper, we review the current evidence on the utility of DFE in guiding treatment of established patients with nAMD and discuss novel treatment algorithms that defer DFE assessments with the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT). We also debate on the value of DFE in the current sanitary context of COVID-19 and highlight important clinical scenarios where it must be performed.Sub-Saharan Africa is courting the risk of artemisinin resistance (ARTr) emerging in Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites. Current molecular surveillance efforts for ARTr have been built on the utility of P. falciparum kelch13 (pfk13) validated molecular markers. However, whether these molecular markers will serve the purpose of early detection of artemisinin-resistant parasites in Ghana is hinged on a pfk13 dependent evolution. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the background pfk13 genome may be present before the pfk13 ARTr-conferring variant(s) is selected and that signatures of balancing selection on these genomic loci may serve as an early warning signal of ARTr. We analyzed 12 198 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Ghanaian clinical isolates in the Pf3K MalariaGEN dataset that passed a stringent filtering regimen. We identified signatures of balancing selection in 2 genes (phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase and chloroquine resistance transporter) previously reported as background loci for ARTr. These genes showed statistically significant and high positive values for Tajima's D, Fu and Li's F, and Fu and Li's D. This indicates that the biodiversity required to establish a pfk13 background genome may have been primed in clinical isolates of P. falciparum from Ghana as of 2010. Despite the absence of ARTr in Ghana to date, our finding supports the current use of pfk13 for molecular surveillance of ARTr in Ghana and highlights the potential utility of monitoring malaria parasite populations for balancing selection in ARTr precursor background genes as early warning molecular signatures for the emergence of ARTr.In recent years, gender mainstreaming in education has been discussed and studied. In the Philippines, however, research has tended to focus on extreme ends of the implementation process such as the awareness of educators about the gender perspective or the success in incorporating gender in their pedagogical practices, rather than an in-depth analysis on the overall experience of educators in the government's attempt to mainstream gender-and-development education in schools. Also, there is a gap in the literature concerning Filipino English language teaching (ELT) practitioners' views on integrating the gender perspective into English language education. Through semi-structured interviews, the present study explores how a group of 71 Filipino college teachers of English perceive the benefits, ways, and challenges of incorporating the gender dimension in ELT. The thematic analysis of interview responses revealed the following benefits enhancement of learners' critical thinking skills, promotion of an inclusive and supportive learning environment, and increased awareness on the critical role of language (i.e., English) in recognizing diversity. Further, it was found that the teacher-participants incorporate gender knowledge in ELT in two ways instructional materials and teaching-learning activities, and teacher-student interaction. In terms of challenges, three major themes emerged learner factor, teacher factor, and institutional constraints (which were further categorized as curriculum, resource, and belief). The targeted approach adopted for Barrett's oesophagus (BO) screening is sub-optimal considering the large proportion of BO cases that are currently missed. We reviewed the literature highlighting recent technological advancements in efforts to counteract this challenge. We also provided insights into strategies that can improve the outcomes from current BO screening practises. The standard method for BO detection, endoscopy, is invasive and expensive and therefore inappropriate for mass screening. On the other hand, endoscopy is more cost-effective for screening a high-risk population. A consensus has however not been reached on who should be screened. Risk prediction algorithms have been tested as an enrichment pre-screening tool reporting modest AUC's but require more prospective evaluation studies. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/dir-cy7-dic18.html Less invasive endoscopy methods like trans-nasal endoscopy, oesophageal capsule endsocopy and non-endoscopic cell collection devices like the Cytosponge coupled with biomarker analysis have shown promise in BO detection with randomised clinical trial evidence.
