Platelet-rich plasma ameliorates neurotoxicity induced by silver nanoparticles in male rats via modulation of apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

The widespread use of silver in various forms raises concerns about its potential adverse effects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can enter the brain and subsequently induce neurotoxicity. As a source of diverse growth factors and for its cytoprotective properties, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has received considerable attention in regenerative medicine.

Phylotypic Profiling, Distribution of Pathogenicity Island Markers, and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Isolated from Retail Chicken Meat and Humans.

( found in retail chicken meat could be causing a wide range of infections in humans and constitute a potential risk. This study aimed to evaluate 60 isolates from retail chicken meat ( = 34) and human urinary tract infections (UTIs, = 26) for phylogenetic diversity, presence of pathogenicity island (PAI) markers, antimicrobial susceptibility phenotypes, and antimicrobial resistance genes, and to evaluate their biofilm formation capacity. In that context, confirmed isolates were subjected to phylogrouping analysis using triplex PCR, antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method; PAI distribution was investigated by using two multiplex PCRs.
