Secondary metabolites synthesized by endophytic fungi have garnered significant interest for their broad applications in treating various ailments. In this study involving 20 plant samples, 11 endophytic fungi were isolated and cultured, and Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae EF-9, derived from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, demonstrated greater antibacterial efficacy than the other isolated endophytes. Phylogenetic analyses using 18S rRNA gene confirmed the EF-9 identity as L.

- The study aimed to explore the agreement between intraocular pressure (IOP) measured with a scleral Schiotz tonometer and the more commonly used Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT).
- It involved 155 patients, measuring IOP through both methods, and analyzed factors like age and central corneal thickness to see their impact on IOP readings.
- Results indicated that the scleral measurements aligned well with GAT values, suggesting that scleral tonometry could serve as a reliable alternative for measuring IOP in clinical settings.
Introduction The efficacy of wound-healing treatments can be significantly enhanced through innovative combination therapies. This research investigates the wound-healing properties of a combination therapy involving silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using Delphinium denudatum (Dd), bovine tendon collagen (BTC), and the antibiotic doxycycline (DOX) in Wistar albino rats. Each component has known therapeutic benefits: AgNPs possess antimicrobial properties, BTC aids in tissue regeneration, and DOX is an effective antibiotic.
