Phage therapy could be key to conquering persistent bacterial lung infections in children.

Persistent bacterial lung infections in children lead to significant morbidity and mortality due to antibiotic resistance. In this paper, we describe how phage therapy has shown remarkable efficacy in preclinical and clinical studies, demonstrating significant therapeutic benefits through various administration routes. Ongoing trials are evaluating its safety and effectiveness against different pathogens.

Korth toxicity: Experimental findings and future prospects.

(Roxb.) Korth, locally known as kratom, is a traditional medicinal plant from Southeast Asia, with mitragynine as its principal alkaloid. Similar to other medicinal plants, kratom has side effects and toxicities, which have been documented in scientific studies and case reports.

Investigation of alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity of Artabotrys sumatranus leaf extract using metabolomics, machine learning and molecular docking analysis.

One way to treat diabetes mellitus type II is by using α-glucosidase inhibitor, that will slow down the postprandial glucose intake. Metabolomics analysis of Artabotrys sumatranus leaf extract was used in this research to predict the active compounds as α-glucosidase inhibitors from this extract. Both multivariate statistical analysis and machine learning approaches were used to improve the confidence of the predictions.

Non-HFE Hemochromatosis in the Context of β-Thalassemia Trait: A Case Study on Iron Overload Dysregulation.

Thalassemia and hemochromatosis are two distinct conditions that involve dysregulation of iron metabolism, though their origin, clinical presentations, and treatments differ. This case represents a patient with incidentally discovered microcytic anemia due to β-thalassemia trait and non- hemochromatosis. It discusses the potential synergistic effect of these two diseases on iron overload and highlights the need for further testing to determine hereditary versus secondary causes of hemochromatosis.
