TL;DR: This study quantitatively analyzed variations in the incidence, mortality, and histopathology based on geographic regions ofEsophageal Cancer to identify patterns and areas for further research.
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Esophageal Cancer (EC) is a lethal malignancy with poor prognosis and significant variations in the incidence, mortality, and histopathology based on geographic regions. The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze these variations to identify patterns and areas for further research.
METHODS
We utilized the GLOBOCAN 2012, and Cancer Incidence in five Continents, Volume X (CI5X) database to analyze variations in EC incidence and mortality.
RESULTS
We found the EC incidence and mortality is geographically varied with a particularly high burden in East Asia and Eastern/Southern Africa where esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) predominates over adenocarcinoma (AC). Interestingly, there is a dichotomy between the high incidence of esophageal SCC in East Africa and low incidence in West Africa. The global incidence and mortality from EC is expected to rise in the coming decades. Asia, and China in particular, will continue to be the areas most burdened by EC, while Africa is expected to surpass the incidence and mortality rates of Europe.
CONCLUSIONS
The global burden of EC is expected to rise in the coming years. Understanding the geographic, environmental, and genetic contributors to the development of EC will be essential in combating its prevalence.

TL;DR: The functional and structural characteristics of biopolymers can be improved to suit the current wound care demands such as tissue repair, restoration of lost tissue integrity and scarless healing.
Abstract: Wound is a growing healthcare challenge affecting several million worldwide. Lifestyle disorders such as diabetes increases the risk of wound complications. Effective management of wound is often difficult due to the complexity in the healing process. Addition to the conventional wound care practices, the bioactive polymers are gaining increased importance in wound care. Biopolymers are naturally occurring biomolecules synthesized by microbes, plants and animals with highest degree of biocompatibility. The bioactive properties such as antimicrobial, immune-modulatory, cell proliferative and angiogenic of the polymers create a microenvironment favorable for the healing process. The versatile properties of the biopolymers such as cellulose, alginate, hyaluronic acid, collagen, chitosan etc have been exploited in the current wound care market. With the technological advances in material science, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, and bioengineering; the functional and structural characteristics of biopolymers can be improved to suit the current wound care demands such as tissue repair, restoration of lost tissue integrity and scarless healing. In this review we highlight on the sources, mechanism of action and bioengineering approaches adapted for commercial exploitation.

TL;DR: An effective, simple and eco-friendly method of ZnO-NP synthesis is described to evaluate its potential for various industrial and medical applications and the photocatalytic activity and biological applications of ZNO-NPs are evaluated.
Abstract: Biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) was achieved by utilizing the reducing and capping potential of leaf, stem and callus aqueous extracts of Mussaenda frondosa.The bioreduced ZnO-NPs were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis spectroscopy), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. UV–visible spectra of ZnO-NPs showed a strong absorption peak at 370, 376 and 373 nm corresponding to the band gap energy of 3.33, 3.27 and 3.30 eV for ZnO-NPs obtained from leaf (L-ZnO-NP), stem (S-ZnO-NP) and callus (C-ZnO-NP) aqueous extracts, respectively. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of hexagonal wurtzite structures having an average grain size between 5 and 20 nm in diameter. FTIR spectra revealed the presence of stretching vibrations of –O–H, C–H, C–N, C = O groups involved in reduction and stabilization of nanoparticles. SEM images recognize the presence of spongy, spherical, porous agglomerated nanoparticles. DLS analysis and zeta potential values validated the stability of ZnO-NPs. The present investigation puts light on the photocatalytic activity and biological (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancerous) applications of ZnO-NPs. The current study is an attempt to describe an effective, simple and eco-friendly method of ZnO-NP synthesis and to evaluate its potential for various industrial and medical applications.
