Molecular Docking of Bacterial Protein Modulators and Pharmacotherapeutics of Leaves as a Promising Therapy for Sepsis: Synchronising In Silico and In Vitro Studies.

Sepsis is a serious health concern globally, which necessitates understanding the root cause of infection for the prevention of proliferation inside the host's body. Phytochemicals present in plants exhibit antibacterial and anti-proliferative properties stipulated for sepsis treatment. The aim of the study was to determine the potential role of leaf extract for sepsis treatment in silico and in vitro.

Refractory Hypokalemia in Secretory Diarrhea Phenotype of Colonic Pseudo-Obstruction (Ogilvie's Syndrome).

Colonic pseudo-obstruction is an acute non-obstructive colonic dilation associated with constipation or secretory diarrhea. The secretory diarrhea phenotype is associated with refractory hypokalemia that may require different interventions to treat. We present a case of a 51-year-old male who was admitted with a hemorrhagic stroke whose hospital course was complicated by severe abdominal distension, diarrhea, and hypokalemia.

Mechanistic and Etiological Similarities in Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer's Disease: Antidiabetic Drugs as Optimistic Therapeutics in Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease are two common diseases that majorly affect the elderly population. Patients in both cases are increasing day by day. They are considered two independent diseases, but recent evidence suggests that they have a lot in common.

Structure-Activity Relationship Insight of Naturally Occurring Bioactive Molecules and Their Derivatives Against Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Comprehensive Review.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a deadly disease that affects millions globally and its treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy have many disadvantages, which include potential harmful side effects. Due to the widespread use of drugs in lung cancer, drug treatment becomes challenging due to multidrug resistance and adverse reactions.

Structural Activity Relationship based Medicinal Perspectives of Pyrimidine Derivatives as Anti-Alzheimer's Agents: A Comprehensive Review.

Pyrimidine is an aromatic and heterocyclic organic compound containing a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon and two nitrogen atoms on alternative positions. Pyrimidine scaffolds described their existence in the medicinal chemist's cause for their synthesizing practicability and nonpoisonous nature. However, the reason behind neurological disorders is still an open challenge for scientific research and development organizations.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular dynamics studies of oxadiazine derivatives as potential anti-hepatotoxic agents.

Generally, herbal medicines having remarkable popularity for treating liver ailments, but they are still unacceptable because of the deprivation of herbal drug standardization. Therefore, there is a need for promising synthetic drugs to overcome the critical liver problem. We introduce 1, 3, 4-oxadiazine ring in this study to identify better anti-hepatotoxic agents via a suitable synthetic route.

Recent Advancement of Pyrazole Scaffold Based Neuroprotective Agents: A Review.

As a source of therapeutic agents, heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds and their derivatives are still interesting and essential. Pyrazole, a five-member heteroaromatic ring with two nitrogen atoms, has a major impact in chemical industries as well as pharmaceutical industries. Due to its wide range of biological activities against various diseases, it has been identified as a biologically important heterocyclic scaffold.

The controversial therapeutic journey of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in the battle against SARS-CoV-2: A comprehensive review.

Recently, the pandemic outbreak of a novel coronavirus, officially termed as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), indicated by a pulmonary infection in humans, has become one of the most significant challenges for public health. In the current fight against coronavirus disease-2019, the medical and health authorities across the world focused on quick diagnosis and isolation of patients; meanwhile, researchers worldwide are exploring the possibility of developing vaccines and novel therapeutic options to combat this deadly disease. Recently, based on various small clinical observations, uncontrolled case studies and previously reported antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-1 chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have attracted exceptional consideration as possible therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2.

Translocation of malpositioned posterior chamber intraocular lens from anterior to posterior chamber along with fibrin glue-assisted transscleral fixation.

Purpose: A posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) wrongly placed in anterior chamber (AC) can lead to progressive endothelial loss and damage to angle structures. We describe a sutureless, closed-chamber translocation technique to maneuver a PCIOL from AC into the PC and fixate it transsclerally with fibrin glue in presence of a large posterior capsular rent.

Methods: This is a prospective interventional case series.

RETRACTED: Magnetic resonance imaging of lumbar intervertebral discs in elderly patients with minor trauma.

Purpose: Vertebral body fractures due to minor trauma, which commonly occur in the elderly, are a frequently encountered clinical problem. We utilized MRI in patients with acute back pain following minor injury to ensure the earliest possible diagnosis. Lumbar discs adjacent to fractured vertebral bodies were evaluated, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to elucidate how often these discs were injured and how the injured discs were depicted by MRI.

Short segment pedicle screw instrumentation and augmentation vertebroplasty in lumbar burst fractures: an experience.

To assess the efficacy and feasibility of vertebroplasty and posterior short-segment pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of traumatic lumbar burst fractures. Short-segment pedicle screw instrumentation is a well described technique to reduce and stabilize thoracic and lumbar spine fractures. It is relatively a easy procedure but can only indirectly reduce a fractured vertebral body, and the means of augmenting the anterior column are limited.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic fractures.

Background: Vertebral augmentation has been widely used to treat vertebral body compression fractures caused by varied pathologies. The lifetime risk of a vertebral body compression fracture is 16% for women and 5% for men, and exponential increase of osteoporotic fractures worldwide.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy and durability of percutaneous vertebroplasty for the treatment of back pain associated with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
