Clinical of Glycolysis on Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer type as it is prone to metastases and is difficult to diagnose at an early stage. Despite advances in molecular detection, its clinical prognosis remains poor and it is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Approximately 85% of patients develop glucose metabolism disorders, most commonly diabetes mellitus, within three years prior to their pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Diabetes, or glucose metabolism disorders related to PDAC, are typically associated with insulin resistance, and beta cell damage, among other factors. From the perspective of molecular regulatory mechanisms, glucose metabolism disorders are closely related to PDAC initiation and development and to late invasion and metastasis.

Sustainability of Bison Production in North America
Due to demanding animal husbandry practices and the conversion of forest areas and pastureland into arable land for the production of livestock feed, consumers worldwide, but especially in the West, are increasingly demanding animal-friendly as well as sustainably produced food. In this regard, sustainably produced alternative sources of red meat, such as bison meat, could therefore become increasingly important in the future. The American bison (Bison bison) evokes a long and tangled history of Indigenous Peoples and settlers, standing as a symbol of hope for the future, a future in which bison, as the largest land mammal native to North America, could meet human needs for sustainably produced food. The principle of sustainability is based on the responsible use of the Earth’s resources, a sentiment well-aligned with the American bison’s iconic history.

Sleep and Chronic Spinal Pain
Spinal pain consisting of both neck and low back pain is an ubiquitous disorder whereby a substantial number of patients develop recurrent or chronic complaints. The underlying pathophysiology of the chronic variant points in the direction of alterations in the central nervous system and also involves psychological factors. Besides a major socio-economic impact on both the patient and society, the disabling character of chronic spinal pain (CSP) also negatively affects quality of life parameters and sleep.

Sulfated Galactofucans
Fucoidans encompass versatile and heterogeneous sulfated biopolysaccharides of marine origin, specifically brown algae and marine invertebrates. The reported studies revealed diverse chemical skeletons in which l-fucose is the main sugar monomer. However, other sugars, i.e., galactose, mannose, etc., have been identified to be interspersed, forming several heteropolymers, including galactofucans/fucogalactans (G-fucoidans). Particularly, sulfated galactofucans are associated with rich chemistry contributing to more promising bioactivities than fucans and other marine polysaccharides. The previous reports showed that G-fucoidans derived from Undaria pinnatifida were the most studied; 21 bioactivities were investigated, especially antitumor and antiviral activities, and unique biomedical applications compared to other marine polysaccharides were demonstrated.

Biological Data
Biological data refers to a compound or information derived from living organisms and their products. A medicinal compound made from living organisms, such as a serum or a vaccine, could be characterized as biological data. Biological data is highly complex when compared with other forms of data. There are many forms of biological data, including text, sequence data, protein structure, genomic data and amino acids, and links among others.

Education for Nature - Vietnam
Education for Nature – Vietnam (ENV) was set up in 2000 and according to their website (www.envietnam.org) is Vietnam's "first local non-governmental organization to focus on wildlife protection." They have offices in Hanoi. There are three main planks to the work of ENV: Persuading the Vietnamese public of the need to protect nature and wildlife; Convincing Vietnamese society that using animal products is hastening the extinction of endangered species; Working with the Vietnamese authorities to strengthen wildlife protection laws and enforce the current legislation to its full extent to stop illegal wildlife trade.
