Isolation, characterization, and genome sequencing analysis of a novel phage HBW-1 of Salmonella.

Salmonella presents a significant threat to the health of animals and humans, especially with the rise of strains resistant to multiple drugs. This highlights the necessity for creating sustainable and efficient practical approaches to managing salmonellosis. The most recent and safest approach to combat antimicrobial resistance-associated infections is lytic bacteriophages.

Global Epidemiology and health risks of Bacillus cereus Infections: Special focus on infant foods.

Bacillus cereus is a common pathogen responsible for gastrointestinal and other complicated disorders, yet epidemiological data and public health measures remain scarce. To bridge these gaps, a bilingual search spaning 50 years identified 266 relevant studies on global B. cereus infection, encompassing 6,135 cases.

Effect of combination therapy of methylfolate with antidepressants in patients with depressive disorder.

Objective: To determine the relative effectiveness of combination therapy of antidepressants with low-dose methylfolate versus antidepressant monotherapy in patients with depressive disorder.

Methods: In an open-label clinical trial, forty-four patients with depressive disorder (6A70, 6A71, and 6A72 according to ICD-11) received an evidence-based antidepressant therapy (either escitalopram 10-20 mg, sertraline 50-100 mg, fluoxetine 20-40 mg, duloxetine 30-60 mg, mirtazapine 15-30 mg, venlafaxine 75-150 mg, trazodone 50-100 mg, amitriptyline 25-75 mg, or clomipramine 25-75 mg orally daily for 4 weeks). The experimental group, Group B was additionally given a dose of methylfolate 800 µg daily for four weeks.

The Olive Oil Monophenolic Secoiridoid Ligstroside Aglycone Suppresses Melanoma Progression by Targeting the BRAF Signaling Pathway.

Melanoma is among the most abundant malignancies in the US and worldwide. Ligstroside aglycone (LA) is a rare extra-virgin olive oil-derived monophenolic secoiridoid with diverse bioactivities. LA dose-response screening at the NCI 60 cancer cells panel identified the high sensitivity of the Malme-3M cell line, which harbors a mutation.

Assessment of energy management and power quality improvement of hydrogen based microgrid system through novel PSO-MWWO technique.

A hybrid microgrid powered by hydrogen is an energy infrastructure that depends on hydrogen as its primary energy carrier within a localized network. This study proposed a novel bi-level optimization approach to enhance power quality and cost efficiency of the system. In the quest to improve energy management systems (EMS) and enhance power quality, a bi-level optimization approach named Particle swarm optimization-Modified water wave optimization (PSO-MWWO) has been proposed.
