Staphylococcal infections challenge current treatments due to adverse effects and drug resistance, prompting the exploration of plant-derived compounds for their promising properties. This study aimed to analyze Syzygium aromaticum essential oil (SA-EO), aqueous (AE-SA) and ethyl acetate (EAE-SA) extracts for antioxidant and antistaphylococcal effects against sensitive and resistant clinical isolates. Erythrocytes were used as model cells for biocompatibility.

- Recent research on mRNA therapeutics has increased due to COVID-19, with applications in vaccination, cancer therapy, and immune modulation, but they face challenges like instability and degradation.
- Traditional agarose gel electrophoresis has been the standard for analyzing RNA, but newer methods, like those using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer, offer better quality assessment despite being more expensive and less accessible.
- The proposed full-lane quantification (FLQ) method integrates ImageJ with programming in Python and R to provide a quick and affordable way to evaluate mRNA degradation, yielding results comparable to those from more sophisticated systems.
Small ribonucleic acids (RNAs) have been shown to play important roles in cross-kingdom communication, notably in plant-pathogen relationships. Plant micro RNAs (miRNAs)-one class of small RNAs-were even shown to regulate gene expression in the gut microbiota. Plant miRNAs could also affect the rhizosphere microbiota.

We report a case of a 15-year-old patient who suffered a direct trauma to the thigh during a soccer match, and developed a hard mass in the anterior face of the thigh. The patient was diagnosed with myositis ossificans secondary to trauma.

- Dermatophytoses are fungal infections caused by dermatophytes that affect the skin, hair, and nails of both humans and animals.
- A study conducted over 48 months at the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda aimed to analyze the types and prevalence of dermatophytes in mycological samples.
- Out of 950 samples, dermatophytes were found in 505 cases, with tinea unguium being the most common infection, primarily caused by the species Trichophyton rubrum, highlighting the importance of mycological examinations for diagnosis and treatment.
