Let's continue shaping a brighter future together! 🌟🏥

Dr Eugene Leong Weng Kong crafting a legacy of influence by presenting his paper at 27th International Congress of the Obstetrical & Gynaecological Society of Malaysia ( ) on "Formation of a Double Primary Tumour Registry in with One Tumour in Origin"

ABSTRACT Objective: Foundation with a new special set-up to form a double primary tumour registry in Malaysia was started especially wherein one tumour is gynaecological in origin. The author has personally treated persons with such ailments in at least 12 to 16 occasions (when the gynaecological malignancy occurred, or the next separate discrete tumour event occurred synchronously or metachronously where appropriate referral was made).
Methodology: Synchronous and metachronous double primary tumours occurring in any one patient in Malaysia should be formally entered with consent into a special new registry in Malaysia. This will enable the collection of data with possible further studies and research of this not uncommon phenomenon not necessary but including tumour tissue/ studies/others.
Results: Better collection of data, tumour tissue, chromosomal studies, family linkage studies, studies, family screening (where needed) can be enabled.
Conclusion: Better data accrual will lead to better understanding and knowledge of this predicament which is uncommon but does occur in variance but not in absentia. New syndromes and tumour genetics are waiting to be discovered leading to greater purity of science with better care and better results.

Xanthones in Alzheimer's Research: Exploring the Pathways to Neuroprotective Potential

Dr. Sharina Hamzah and her team gave an in-depth insight review for Xanthones for Alzheimer’s disease. Their comprehensive review delves into the intricacies of Xanthones' mechanisms and effects.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual deterioration of cognitive and behavioral functions such as memory loss, language deterioration, and cognitive impairment.
The xanthones are found to have therapeutic effects ranging from antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects towards cell death and neuroinflammation, anticholinesterase, improvement in learning and memory impairment, and anti-amyloidogenic effects. Due to their significant biological effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD), xanthones are natural secondary metabolites that have tremendous potential as neuroprotective agents. Their underlying mechanisms in AD, however, remain unknown. This review aimed to examine the effects and mechanisms of xanthones in cell culture and animal studies in order to obtain a better understanding of their roles in Alzheimer's disease. It provides insights for researchers to have a better understanding of the pharmacological effects and underlying mechanisms. A deeper knowledge of the involvement of xanthones in the regulation of AD pathogenesis is required as this could pave the way for developing new therapeutic strategies in the future.
