TL;DR: A survey of plants that have shown anti-HIV activity, both in vitro and in vivo is presented, to provide therapeutic options for populations with limited resources or access to currently efficacious chemotherapies.
Abstract: Since the beginning of the epidemic, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has infected around 70 million people worldwide, most of whom reside is sub-Saharan Africa. There have been very promising developments in the treatment of HIV with anti-retroviral drug cocktails. However, drug resistance to anti-HIV drugs is emerging, and many people infected with HIV have adverse reactions or do not have ready access to currently available HIV chemotherapies. Thus, there is a need to discover new anti-HIV agents to supplement our current arsenal of anti-HIV drugs and to provide therapeutic options for populations with limited resources or access to currently efficacious chemotherapies. Plant-derived natural products continue to serve as a reservoir for the discovery of new medicines, including anti-HIV agents. This review presents a survey of plants that have shown anti-HIV activity, both in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: An overview of oxidative stress mechanisms, clinical squeals, biomarkers, and possible antioxidant therapies in CKD patients is provided.
Abstract: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have high incidence rates of cardiovascular disease and malignancy. Several factors contribute to these conditions. Structural characteristics in CKD, loss of renal energy, and uremia result in an imbalance between free radical production and antioxidant defenses. Also, CKD patients usually have multiple cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. These conditions are associated with oxidative stress, which can trigger the inflammatory process and accelerate renal injury progression. There are some clinical biomarkers to detect oxidative stress and antioxidant status in CKD patients. Antioxidant therapies may be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress, lowering uremic cardiovascular toxicity, and improving survival. Therefore, their roles in CKD patients have been evaluated in several studies as a new target for therapeutic intervention. This review provides an overview of oxidative stress mechanisms, clinical squeals, biomarkers, and possible antioxidant therapies in CKD patients.

TL;DR: Since THQ and TTHQ were either lower than 1 value, therefore, consumers were not exposed to carcinogenic risk by consumption of rice cultivated in Iran.
Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa) is the second cereal consumed in Iran. Many studies have been carried out in Iran about the contamination of rice by environmental pollutants such as heavy metals. The aim of pr...
