Targeting Acinetobacter baumannii resistance-nodulation-division efflux pump transcriptional regulators to combat antimicrobial resistance.

Regulatory elements controlling gene expression fine-tune bacterial responses to environmental cues, including antimicrobials, to optimize survival. Acinetobacter baumannii, a pathogen notorious for antimicrobial resistance, relies on efficient efflux systems. Though the role of efflux systems in antibiotic expulsion are well recognized, the regulatory mechanisms controlling their expression remain understudied.

Potential therapeutics and vaccines: Current progress and challenges in developing antiviral treatments or vaccines for Oropouche virus.

Oropouche virus (OROV), an emerging arbovirus, poses a significant public health challenge in tropical and subtropical regions, with no licensed vaccines or antiviral therapies currently available. This review explores recent advancements in therapeutic strategies and vaccine development for OROV, focusing on molecular mechanisms of viral replication, identification of potential antiviral targets, and the role of immunotherapy in managing infections. Promising antiviral candidates, including ribavirin, mycophenolic acid, and interferon, have demonstrated efficacy in in vitro studies, offering a foundation for further investigation.

The Role of Lifestyle Interventions in PCOS Management: A Systematic Review.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders among reproductive-aged women. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism, anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. Lifestyle changes are suggested as first-line interventions in managing PCOS.

Exploring Azithromycin's Neuroprotective Role in Traumatic Brain Injury: Insights into Cognitive and Motor Recovery and Neuroinflammatory Modulation.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide and often results in substantial cognitive, motor, and psychological impairments, triggering oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. This study examined the neuroprotective effects of azithromycin (AZI) in TBI.

Methods: TBI was induced in rats using the weight-drop method.
