Background: Several reports of unheeded complications secondary to the current mass international rollout of SARS-COV-2 vaccines, one of which is myocarditis occurring with the FDA fully approved vaccine, Pfizer, and others.

Main Body Of The Abstract: Certain miRNAs (non-coding RNA sequences) are involved in the pathogenesis in viral myocarditis, and those miRNAs are interestingly upregulated in severe COVID-19. We hypothesize that the use of mRNA-based vaccines may be triggering the release of host miRNAs or that trigger the occurrence of myocarditis.

Article Synopsis
  • Lupus nephritis is a serious condition that can lead to renal damage and failure, often requiring a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach due to its complex nature.
  • A case study was presented involving a 13-year-old girl who experienced severe symptoms, including fever, joint pain, and convulsions, which led to a confirmed diagnosis of lupus nephritis.
  • Successful treatment relied on a combination of therapies and adaptability in response to the patient’s fluctuating condition, highlighted by the effective use of plasma exchange that significantly reduced fragmented red blood cells.

This study aimed at improving the radioiodination of doxorubicin (DOX) and its localization in cancer cell for theranostic purposes. To achieve this goal, a composite of DOX with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was prepared. Both DOX and (DOX/PVP/AgNPs) were radiolabelled with iodine-125 [I] and optimized using iodogen as a preferable oxidizing agent.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on developing and testing a new anticancer agent, methoxyphenyl maleanilic acid (MPMA), to address limitations in current chemotherapy treatments.
  • MPMA showed significant anticancer activity against different cancer cell lines, particularly HepG-2, and was successfully radiolabeled with technetium-99m (Tc) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Results demonstrated that Tc-MPMA has strong potential for cancer diagnosis and monitoring, with effective tumor localization in animal models.

In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were successfully fabricated through the harnessing of metabolites present in the cell filtrate of a newly isolated and identified microalga (Class: Cyanophyceae). The formed ZnO-NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Data showed the efficacy of cyanobacterial metabolites in fabricating spherical, crystallographic ZnO-NPs with a size ≈30.

Unlabelled: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the largest outbreak to strike the world since the Spanish flu in 1918. Visual examination of the world map shows a wide variation of death tolls between countries. The main goal of our series is to determine the best predictors of such discrepancy.

Several nanosystems are currently being utilized to enhance the targeting efficiency of several cancer chemotherapeutic agents. This study was designed to improve tumor accumulation of iodine-125 (I)-uridine incorporation into a nanocubosomal preparation. Nanocubosomes were prepared with the aid of Glycerol mono-oleate and Pluronic F127.

A simple and rapid method for radiolabeling of three types of Ag NPs has been performed using I isotope, with high labeling yields, >90% without disturbing the optical properties. All the factors affecting labeling yield were studied. In order to monitor the in-vivo tissue uptake of radiolabeled Ag NPs using γ-rays, Ag-based radioiodo-NPs with a maximum labeling yield were intravenously injected in normal and solid tumor bearing mice.

Extracts from 2 algal species (Hypnea esperi and Caulerpa prolifera) from Suez Canal region, Egypt were screened for the production of antibacterial compounds against some pathogenic bacteria. The bacteria tested included Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Algal species displayed antibacterial activity.
