The Effect of Nanoliposomal Amphotericin B Against Isolated From COVID-19-Associated Mucormycosis Patients.

Background & Objective: , a major contributor to COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) globally. Nanoliposomal amphotericin B (NLAmB) presents a promising approach due to its enhanced drug delivery and reduced side effects. This study aimed to assess the antifungal susceptibility of NLAmB against isolated from CAM patients.

Keystone bacteria dynamics in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Towards differential diagnosis and probiotic candidates.

Preventing exacerbations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is crucial due to the high mortality rate and the associated costs of hospitalization for patients during exacerbations. Despite the proven influence of the lung microbiome on disease control, the dynamics of bacterial communication in different stages of COPD remain unknown. This study aimed to propose a group of candidate bacteria for the differential diagnosis of different states of COPD based on the relative abundance correlation of bacteria in lung sputum samples.

Investigating the expression of anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis and treatment of ulcerative colitis and its association with serum level of vitamin D.

Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic gastrointestinal disease described by chronic inflammation of the digestive system. Cytokines may be responsible for immunopathogenesis, mucosal and tissue damage, and even treatment response. In addition to its role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and bone health, vitamin D is an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agent.

Pleomorphic adenoma parotid surgery, how much margin we can reach to be safe?

Background: The extent of surgery in cases of parotid gland pleomorphic adenoma (PA) remains challenging. This study aims to evaluate the importance of surgical margins in ensuring safe surgery for patients with PA.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the risk of local recurrence based on surgical margins in patients with parotid PA who underwent superficial or total parotidectomy between May 2019 and November 2021 at a tertiary referral hospital in Tehran, Iran.
