The intensification of livestock farming has led to the widespread use of massive amounts of antibiotics worldwide. Poultry production, including white meat, eggs and the use of their manure as fertiliser, has been identified as one of the most crucial reservoirs for the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria, including E. coli in poultry as an important opportunistic pathogen representing the greatest biological hazard to human and wildlife health.

- Plant extracts are important for finding active compounds in fields like agriculture and medicine, with a particular focus on a Saharan plant rich in antioxidants and flavonoids.
- The research involved detailed analysis of the methanol extract using advanced techniques, leading to the identification of 41 compounds, including a newly described flavonoid triglycoside (AA).
- This compound shows promise due to its non-toxic nature, ability to reduce harmful reactive oxygen species, and potential to inhibit breast cancer cell growth, highlighting its pharmacological potential.
Article Synopsis
- The paper compares the effectiveness of servo-controlled hypothermia (CTH) versus passive hypothermia in neonates with encephalopathy during transport, highlighting improvements in temperature management with CTH.
- In the study, 100% of infants who received CTH reached the target temperature upon NICU arrival, contrasted with only 32% of those in passive hypothermia.
- Findings suggest that CTH does not delay NICU arrival compared to passive methods, and there was no significant difference in short-term outcomes between the two groups.
stems were harvested in two seasons: winter and spring (February and May 2021). In this study, we investigated the antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and TAC) and antimicrobial activities, total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents of the obtained extracts (hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol). The results showed that ethyl acetate extract from stems harvested in winter exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, while ethyl acetate extract from the stems harvested in spring showed the most potent antibacterial and antifungal activities.
