Article Synopsis
  • Study focused on three Mediterranean seaweeds (Turbinaria ornata, Polycladia myrica, and Padina pavonica) to extract and assess their antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
  • 19 bioactive compounds were identified using GC-MS, with P. pavonica showing significant antibacterial effectiveness against Escherichia coli and high antioxidant activity.
  • The findings suggest P. pavonica has potential as a source for medicinal drug-like compounds due to its ability to bind to target proteins and lack of toxicity.

Malignant melanoma outcomes have drastically changed in recent years due to the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, many patients still experience intolerable side effects, therapy resistance, and disease progression on ICI therapy. Therefore, there remains a need for novel therapeutics that address this gap in treatment options.

In this study, the effect of the Streptomyces misakiensis metabolite (α- sitosterol, 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg) dietary supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant-immune stability and Candida albicans resistance of Nile tilapia was evaluated. The results revealed that the incorporation of α-sitosterol at doses of 60 and 80 mg/kg into the diet significantly improved the growth rate of Nile tilapia. The fish receiving 80 mg/kg showed an increased level of high-density lipoprotein, total protein, globulin, and albumin, and significantly reduced levels of indicators of hepato-renal damage, glucose, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol.

Introduction: Despite years of efforts to develop new antibiotics for eradicating multidrug-resistant (MDR) and multi-virulent Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) and Vancomycin-Resistant (VRSA) infections, treatment failures and poor prognoses in most cases have been common. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic approaches targeting virulence arrays. Our aim is to discover new anti-virulence therapies targeting MRSA and VRSA virulence arrays.

Article Synopsis
  • * A 22-year-old patient experienced unexplained wrist pain, and after inconclusive X-rays, an MRI revealed reduced signal intensity in the triquetrum, confirming AVN.
  • * Despite the triquetrum's strong blood supply typically preventing AVN, this case emphasizes the need for awareness and proper diagnosis, advocating for further research on treatment options for such uncommon incidents.

Fishmeal substitution with sustainable feed sources is highly essential towards sustainable production. This study aimed to investigate the effects of substituting fishmeal (FM) with Daphnia magna biomass meal (DBM) or zooplankton biomass meal (ZBM) on growth performance, liver and intestinal histology, gut bacterial abundance and stress tolerance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fry. Nile tilapia fry (0.

Aim: During liver transplantation, both hospital-acquired (HA) and community-acquired (CA) intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are involved causing life-threatening diseases. Therefore, comparative studies of aerobic and facultative anaerobic HA-IAIs and CA-IAIs after liver transplantation surgery are necessary.

Methods And Results: The species of detected isolates (310) from intra-abdominal fluid were identified and classified into hospital-acquired intra-abdominal infections (HA-IAIs) and community-acquired intra-abdominal infections (CA-IAIs).

A serious consequence of diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy (DN) which causes gradual damage to the kidneys. Dietary changes, blood pressure control, glucose control, and hyperlipidemia are all important components of DN management. New research, however, points to microRNAs (miRNAs) as having a pivotal role in DN pathogenesis.

Using the unique structures found in natural materials to produce new antibacterial drugs is crucial. Actinobacteria is well-known for its ability to produce naturally occurring chemicals with a variety of structural features that can be used as weapons against infectious bacteria. In the present study, the Streptomyces coeruleorubidus metabolites were characterized and their efficacy in suppressing Streptococcus agalactiae growth was carried out both in vitro and in vivo.
