BK Polyomavirus and Urothelial Carcinoma: What to Know About Bladder Cancer Risks - Archynewsy
A study has found that BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) and John Cunningham polyomovirus (JCPyV) were detected in small fractions of malignant tissue samples in a cohort study of 211 patients with bladder cancer near the Persian Gulf in southern Iran. BKPyv was found in 1.7 percent of the bladder cancer biopsy specimens, while JCPyv was present in 6.1 percent of cases analyzed via semi-nested PCR-RFLP followed by sequencing. The study found no statistical association between these viral genotypes and patient age, gender, geographic residence, or tumor stage and grade. While these viruses possess oncogenic potential in laboratory settings, they are unlikely to be significant factors in the development of human bladder cancer compared to established environmental and genetic risks. Urothelial bladder carcinoma represents over 90 percent of all bladder cancer cases worldwide, making the disease the tenth most common cancer globally.

Inside the secretive, rarely-used US court helping Trump secure deportations
The Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC) has successfully deported an Afghani woman, Nazira Haji Zada, who held American permanent residency despite never being charged with or convicted of a crime. The Department of Justice hailed the outcome as a win for President Donald Trump's efforts to bolster national security. This is the first time the ATRC has ever heard a case. The success of prosecutors could lead to further deportations for the Trump administration.

Saudi Arabia halts East-West pipeline after drone strikes — Arabian Post
Saudi Arabia has temporarily halted its East-West oil pipeline after multiple drone attacks damaged sections of the route, increasing pressure on crude exports. The Energy Ministry said the pipeline was shut as a precaution following strikes in the Riyadh and Madinah regions on September 10. The Foreign Ministry said that the drones were launched from Iraq and caused injuries and material damage. Iraq has acknowledged the attacks originated from its territory and opened an investigation. No group has claimed responsibility for the strikes. The shutdown has raised concern as the 1,200-kilometre East-W system carries crude from Saudi Arabia’s eastern oilfields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, allowing exports to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

DWC sets second runway opening for 2027 — Arabian Post
Dubai World Central (DWC) is set to open its second runway by 2027, marking the next major infrastructure step in Dubai's plan to shift aviation growth to Al Maktoum International Airport and build capacity for up to 260 million passengers a year. The additional runway will form part of a larger airfield, which will include five parallel runways and handle over one million aircraft movements annually. Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects describes Runway 2 as a 4.5-kilometre strip to be built parallel to the existing runway, with sufficient separation for future airfield infrastructure. The expansion is essential as Dubai International is near the practical limit of its long-term capacity. Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths stated that around five or six of the airline’s aircraft could move there from 2027. The wider programme includes new terminals, concourses, baggage systems, automated passenger transport and road and rail connections.

Govt to present IMF three-year plan to wipe out Rs3.6tr gas sector circular debt
Pakistan is planning to present to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with a three-year strategy to wipe out the country's gas sector's circular debt, which has risen to around €3.6 trillion ($12.9 billion). The plan is part of Pakistan's efforts to meet a key IMF requirement ahead of the country’s economic review talks. The gas sector’�s outstanding circular debt comprises approximately Rs2.1 trillion in accumulated interest and Rs1.5 trillion in principal. Officials attribute the buildup to tariff differentials, unpaid receivables, and policy-related costs. Under the proposed settlement plan, around €840 billion could be generated through dividends from gas companies, another Rs270 billion from the petroleum levy, and a further £15 billion through take-or-pay arrangements in the power sector. However, recovering the full cost of LNG could result in higher gas prices for consumers, potentially increasing inflationary pressures.
