Unlocking the Potential: Phytoestrogens and Cardiovascular Health.

Phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds resembling human estrogen and have recently gained attention due to their potential role in improving cardiovascular health. These compounds exert their effects through various mechanisms, including interactions with estrogen receptors, growth factor receptors, inflammatory mediators, thrombogenic reactions, and apoptotic pathways. This results in cardioprotective effects like modulating endothelial function, decreasing vessel tone, reducing inflammation, altering lipid profiles, and influencing arrhythmogenesis.

Safety and Efficacy of Nemonoxacin vs Levofloxacin in Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials.

Community-acquired pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, which incurs significant healthcare costs. The aim of his meta-analysis is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of a novel non-fluorinated quinolone, nemonoxacin, compared with levofloxacin in treating community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). A recursive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus up to August 2022.
