Article Synopsis
- This study compares three Romanian species (HOR, HOA, and HOC) to analyze their chemical composition and biological activities, focusing on protein denaturation, hemolysis inhibition, and antibacterial properties.
- Chemical profiles were assessed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and the species were grown at two specific locations, revealing how cultivation sites impact their chemical makeup and biological activities.
- Findings indicate HOA has the strongest antimicrobial effect against Gram-positive bacteria, with key compounds showing potential for binding to proteins related to microbial and inflammatory responses, highlighting their significance in medical applications.
Isthmocele, also known as uterine niche, refers to a myometrial defect of the anterior wall of the uterine isthmus, specifically at the site of the previous C-section scar. The prevalence of isthmocele has increased in tandem with the rise in deliveries by caesarean section. Risk factors include aspects related to the surgical procedure.

TiO, CaO, and CuO are low-cost, non-toxic, and non-hazardous materials. The aim of the present study was the physicochemical characterization of Ca- and Cu-decorated TiO microparticles and the evaluation of their antimicrobial activity.

- Sepsis is a severe body reaction to infections that can lead to serious health issues and even death if untreated.
- A study was conducted to analyze the resistance of specific bacterial strains linked to sepsis cases at an Infectious Diseases Clinic in Romania, revealing high resistance levels to antibiotics like ampicillin.
- The findings indicated that resistance to certain antibiotics was generally lower than national averages, with notable differences in resistance levels between different bacterial strains.
This study investigated the phytochemical characteristics, antibacterial activity, and synergistic potential of essential oils derived from Romanian lavender. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis revealed that linalool is the main compound in all lavender essential oils, with concentrations ranging from 29.410% to 35.
